That and fraps makes files 62 gbs. you know your suppose to change the file size, programs like windows movie maker will do that for you. Depending on quality and how long you can get the file size pretty low. Trying to upload 62gbs to youtube is going to take you forever. | ||

that I do a "season-style" tourney, and the problem is I'd need someone to cast it. I was thinking it might be fun to arrange for every game to be saved, and then casted via a replay rather than live, and if you're up to the challenge, that would be awesome. I could have everyone email their replays to me, and then I could forward them to you for after-the-fact casting coverage. I was thinking everyone could arrange a time each week to face off against their opponents, and send me the results and replays, and then between games, you could attempt to cast each set (every player in the tourney will likely have a Bo3 package against one opponent per week, and there will probably be 10-32 players, similar to rising cup, perhaps...) Let me know what you think! ~DuncanIdaho | ||

I do hope you guys attract a ton of new players. But make sure you ONLY give them the correct advice. Not something you *think* is right. Because you being in bronze league, one can only assume you are doing the *wrong* things. Sorry if this came off as mean. Just want to make sure you're not corrupting our player base  | ||

Keeping minerals low, Creating or learning a build order. How to scout. How to use hotkeys correctly. Very very simple, fundamental skills that every player needs to know. This sounds like a great idea. It seemed dumb to me at first, but then I saw how you brought up hotkeys and I was reminded of a conversation I had with a friend who was just picking up the game. I just finished teaching him a basic build order for Terran, and I ask "how do you set up your control groups?". He responded "control groups?". I'll definitely send my newbie friends to your youtube channel, as long as you're teaching worthwhile skills and not void ray cheeses. Good luck! | ||

What happens when you get to plat/diamond? Are you going to explain every single detail ... every single match... every single cast... for the chance one new person came in? I can see this being a nice series, but not a long term deal. There is only so much you can cover before you're saying the exact same things all of the other casters are saying. | ||

If this were done by a high-level player but aimed to helping lower leagues by focusing on the basics, I could get behind it. Frankly, though, I feel like that's been done already by casters like HD and Husky. The only reason why I can't support this is that while you're bound to get some good information out there to help noobs out, it's only natural that (as noobs yourself) you'll also be tossing out some misinformation. Noobs have a hard enough time improving as it is -- the last thing they need is bad advice from someone who sincerely doesn't even realize they're doing it. This is like taking diet tips from a fat guy. If you're so smart, fat guy, why are you still so fat? | ||

As regards putting out inaccurate information, well, give them a chance. I'm sure TL will be ready to inform them if they slip up | ||
