Since this survived the purge, I assume it's okay to bump it...

I assume you guys already have some way of dealing with the mid-ladder ICCUP reset, so I won't mention that. My suggestions are pretty simple: As much replay availability as possible, as much coverage as possible (especially live commentary from such awesome people as Day[9]), and a recommended-VODs-of-recent-games style thread (or site function?) for replays from the ladder portion of the festivities. I assume the later TSL2 matches will be in liquibet and the TLPD (and that relevant topics will be in liquipedia, if we-the-userbase help out sufficiently)? It would also be nice if we could have newspost coverage starting as early as the ladder section, perhaps with a format similar to the weekly Fantasy Proleague coverage (interviews with players who are doing well or otherwise interesting, a table displaying the current leaders, et cetera). Oh, and if there will be torrents of VODs/replay packs on the tracker, I have a dedicated server with a pretty nice connection that could probably help seed.

Incredibly hyped for this, and I'm sure you guys will do a great job, rock on!

Will there be an intro video for TSL 2 like there was for TSL? If so are you guys open to suggestions as to which song to use for it?

It might be difficult to fathom somone who doesn't watch all of the matches live, or the vods directly afterwards, but what do you TSL2 guys think of making an equivalent to ESPN Sports Center every day or so (similar to Artosis' week in review) during the TSL? It would probably require a team of 1-2 experts who would talk about what happened in the previous games, and one to two tech people to put it together? Not sure of course it's entirely up to you.

Maybe a little bit like a TSL-themed version of Backseet Broodwar in video or at least audio form (video form would be cooler though :3).

What about making videos of the pimpest plays of every round? So ppl who don't have time to watch all the vods can watch this videos instead. There can be a poll or something to decide what games to include.

I just hope you use different songs this time.

Also, I hope for good stream once again.

I wonder if the Broodwar Highlights team would be up to the task.

what about consider livestreamers to take part in covering lower tear games ?

so anybody can decide where to watch. with many streams, maybe its even possible to stream every single game of non-ladder tournament stage :O ?

edit: wrong smileys

Hey, so since iccup will be extending this season for 2 weeks, things shoudl be great! I was just hoping to see at least a few of the games casted by the 2 most popular casters, perhaps a poll can be made. I would love to see tasteles!

I don't know if this has been brought to attention yet but I just had someone drop vs me at the end of the game so it came to mind.

There should be some monitoring of the way complaints are handled. They can be used to boost rank considerably. ie: I have 4 guys drops vs me from the time i rank up from D to B, then I report those 4 games and get boosted to B+ for games I won at far lower levels.

Perhaps a rule that you should report complaints immediately after they occur.

That's a good idea.

I think the TSL team should consider the possibility of including the Resolution Plugin into their broadcast arsenal.

The hope about this in my heart will never die, and I'm just waiting for the first tournament to make this step.

It wouldn't be hard to implement if the games will be casted from replays.

p.s. I didn't watch a single replay in normal mode ever since I DLed the Resolution Hack.

How about a small prize for best live stream?
