Well most likely they are only going to play 1 match at a time, since their is only 8 players as far as I understand. So I think u will see that 1 stream is more then enough.
Another interesting note, Sweden largest newspapper, Aftonbladet, will live stream the entire tournament just as they did on Stockholm Dreamhack. That time they had over 300000 viewers on their stream. Show you the power when public media goes in an support e-sport, all of a sudden e-sport reaches people that actually dont hang around on this forum 
Anyway, so we can probably aspect a really high viewer count on this tournament as well.

His parents and family are indeed from Tunisia, where he spent his vacations and from where he played the 2011 MSI Millenium Pro Cup (I was watching the stream of this tournament and he had a lot of spikes and lags...). But he is actually as French as any Frenchman can be 
(By the way there's a full page about Stephano on Millenium's website for those who want to know more about him ; it's in French though...)

My comment wasn't about missing matches, it was about not being able to watch TB.
Oh well, plenty of other SC2 to watch if there's only one stream.

But you're from England? o.o You, if anyone should be able to watch him, no?

I'd be able to watch him if he spoke normally, unfortunately he doesn't, he puts on a weird accent that's (imo) painful to listen to.
Edit: I believe he's actually a Geordie (someone from around Newcastle) too? Which is one of the most liked accents in England anyways.

Not everyone wants a carnival barker / infomercial salesmen for a caster. I'll watch it muted though, gl hf dudes!

Total Biscuit is beyond amazing. Haters be crazy / have never watched a soccer match w/ Brit commentary
|
Looking forward to this!
I don't get the caster hate, you can't just fly in tastosis to every event in the world. TB is good at what he does and he never claimed to be an expert analyst. Apollo does a great job with his insight. Last DH he even had a notebook with facts of how players played in their previous games etc (lots of dedication!). The games should be good enough to make up for any horrendous experiences you might have while listening to the stream.

To be honest, I don't really think people should whine about TB. Sure he's no Day9 but he's funny and good at making dull stuff (old tvt tank vikings game for example) seem exciting and knife-edge. Not to mention that him and Apollo have a lot of experience casting together so they're just generally a good team (and of course Apollo is just great).
Overall though, I don't think people can try and demand TB be ousted from DH (despite doing a great job in schweden) given how much he's done for SC2- showing it on his channel brought a lot of people into the fold, myself included and he's run 2 (3 this saturday) big prizepool tournaments with huge names. Doesn't get much better than that tbh. His dedication is obvious, he's just not had the big BW experience that a lot of current casters have. Give him time and I'm sure you'll grow to like him.
Plus, dat top-hat.
