Broadcast:
As always, my tournaments are cast on my Twitch channel  CreightonOlsen. For the Group Stages of the event, I'll be splitting the games with  Steadfast to make sure we don't miss any of the 40 group stage matches! Are you a caster interested in joining me to co-cast? Contact me on Discord (CreightonOlsen#0001) for more details.
- French cast of the Group Stage and SE Bracket stage will be provided by
 OGaming
- Polish cast will be provided by
 Indy

 gL1de
- Spanish casts will be provided by
 Enki
Additional international broadcast partners are encouraged to contact me directly on Discord for broadcast rights in your language. This post will be updated as foreign-language casts are added.
For Charity:
This tournament has been made possible through several generous donations from Starcraft 2 fans. However, any Matcherino funds raised in excess of our $1,500 prize pool will be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. We'll need plenty of support to bust through our prize pool roof and make this event even more meaningful!

Very happy to add that the Ogaming crew will be covering all of the Group and SE bracket stages in French for the event!

Good news, everyone! A generous donation of $1,000 has been added to the Matcherino prize pool, meaning that we are just $300 away from fully funding this event and beginning our charity donation drive! Feel free to add your contribution to the prize pool here: https://matcherino.com/t/SpringCleanUp

I disagree but whatev, his performance was quite well here but for my taste his style is way to abusive on certain stuff (kinda a mashup of sOs and parting but i don't feel the flair).

My fav player was herO for protoss race and I like how MaxPax is also over aggressive and risky, always on the edge between win and loss.

Maybe but those players were all more interesting to me than "let me do proxy battery stuff 4 times in a row because that shit is broken".

Man, Maxpax was inventing builds on ladder when he was one unknown 14 yo player.
His first recorded game on Aligulac is just one year and half old and he is still 16; he definitely is not just an abusive cheeser and for sure we haven't seen the best of him yet.

He for sure will improve, but if you see his series vs clem that was pretty much full of abusive cheese.
