There's certainly an integrity problem. What if this person actually knew a lot about starcraft, reminded the players to do things like upgrades, etc? It's preposterous to imagine someone's girlfriend sitting with them in the booth at a LAN, why is it less so to see someone else at a strictly 1v1 sport? Eh, I actually think that having there a coach player would be a bad think. PLayers need to focus and the game has high tempo. having somebody backseat driving you will break your focus and get you out of the tempo. Unless you practiced it I don't think that on this level it would be any helpfull. I honestly believe it would be very harmful.

Disqualifying people for others showing up on camera would do absolutely nothing to prevent people from stream cheating, unless you forced the players to stream multiple cameras of their own room for the admins to stare at

Okay, here we go, boys! Will the foreign terran hope stay strong? (Will Funka's voice last yet another 1 hour+ screaming session?)
During the Maru-Rogue game Funka said "Rogue is struggling to breathe under Maru's constant attacks, much like we casters struggle to breathe during a Bo5 between Clem and Serral"

Chess tournament force the players to have 2 cameras around their rooms in order to prevent cheating, dunno if it is possible and I don't think it is very useful for sc2 but at least this solution exists...

They will be playing on US west and central alternating.

I don't actively hate Ty, but actively hate Terran in general. I assume that's good enough?
