Idea looks fun, they didn't present what races they will play, will it be fixed races or race swapping allowed?

There will be rather big skill gaps which leads to a lot of stomps but hopefully some weird fun games also.
I agree that no Nathanias is a shame (not that I think he'd win but still) and "Junge junge junge" we miss the take tv casters.

I know Pig is very good and probably the favourite? ZG is good and maybe a contender, Tod was a pro, and really good in hots, but this isn't hots and I have no idea to what extent he plays/practice.

Funka? If he's half as good as his observing he should do well.

I could maybe count out some for lack of practice like Artosis (kids and hearthstone), Rifkin (busy with TV-shop), Feardragon (no facts with ingame value), Wardi (makes hearts while playing) and if Incontrol wins I'll eat my shorts.
* text above not to be read as agressive or angry rant *

There are several contestants that I have very little info of.

Pig v Rotti would be a fun final. Don't know if the brackets work that way. Go PiG!!!! (Thanks for the daily content, too!)

I was just thinking the other day how a caster tournie would be hugely popular.

Making dreams come true, will be alot of fun.

Outsider ZombieGrub to take it

I'm kinda hoping they have TB in the wings to roll out as some kind of final Boss....biscuit cruisers are unbeatable!

I've been tweeted at a lot for this tournament, and people asked "Why didn't you do it??" or asking if I were invited. I was, and I initially accepted. OGN started APEX Season 3 (Overwatch) way earlier than I originally expected, and I had to drop out in order to prepare for that. I wish the competitors luck, and I really wish I could've played! I probably would have been destroyed, but I'm glad that FINALLY, after over half a decade, a proper caster tournament is running. The community has wanted this for years, and it's finally happening. I'll be watching!

PiG is gonna crush it. ToD was good, but dunno if he will be as good as PiG.

I want them to turn on full map vision and cast their own games.

This is a brilliant idea for maybe some of the show matches, or to determine who is 3rd perhaps. Would make for something incredibly funny no doubt.

I just really hope the casters start creating hype videos for themselves. If any tournament is ever going to get trash talk between players before the games, it's this one. These guys are more used to creating content; I hope they actually make some. It'd be great.
