Yeah, definitely would like to cast a ton of games. Possibly all the Rising Cup ones. We'll be posting a preview of what we kind of do soon? Maybe, all our previous casts got corrupt though, so we'd have to do another one.

Anyway, good news about the PMs! :D

Suggestion!
make the first round of the next tourney a Bo3 so people who are new to tourneys can get their nerves under control and not be completely out of it right away

great tourney. after obs the finals i would suggest making the map pool single elimination or something like that. that way we dont get the same 2 maps for all the games.

Looks like I missed out on an exciting tournament. How come I didn't get anything for winning last time except not being able to participate in this one

So who won? Replays for the finals anywhere? :D

I wonder... Maybe we could have a plat/diamond cup of previous rising cup (bronze thrugold) players, a "Risen Cup". Idk... And those who've done a rising cup in the past, but are still gold, have they truly "risen", and would it really be that big of a deal to let them compete again? :/

But yeah, I would like a replay pack of the finals, and preferably the tvt epic ever-matches that held us up as well. (and to Mission and Dishong, I apologize for my comp BSoD'ing 2x, and I understand completely why I was not able to be allowed to continue observing, due to the delay of game it caused.)

Furthermore, perhaps a losers bracket with a bracket build towards a 3rd and 4th place game might be nice for the players who lost in round1 to the best of 1 setup, or maybe considering making round1 a bo3. I won my first round, but I still thought it was a bit scary of a setup. Furthermore, maybe considering allowing the games to go multiple nights so we're not up till 2am+...

Thanks Karliath for the great tourney!
the one suggestion/request i have is the make the Ro32 Bo3. The first game i played was being streamed to like 50+ people and my hands were literally shaking :p, nerves got the best of me and was out before i even knew it .

Also i think maybe we could split the tourney over two nights, and try to at least have the finals casted to add to the "epicness".

But being up until 4AM my brain was so fried I had to ask Karliath if I won game 5.

Thanks for the tournament, I had a great time in this tournament, ultimately ending at the semifinals.

I don't know if it's possible to start this tournament a little sooner because for those of us on the east coast, we have to stay up very late to play in the later rounds.

Also, my situation may be very isolated and I doubt it can be really be accommodated for, but every match I played in this tournament was a ZvZ, which made me sad.

In order to deal with the multiple night, Bo1, etc. thing:

Lol, I know what. Are you all familiar with Quantum Computing? It's arguably the best answer to the problem of a amximum limit to minimization of computing, thus creating the problem of a maximum processing speed. For instance, you can't practically make something smaller than an atom, well, under today's understanding of physics. So, there is a lower limit to size, thus creating a maximum limit to processing speed. (E.g., we may be only be able to compute things at 1 exabyte per second, and no faster ((kilo,mega,giga, tera,peta,exa,etc.)), and I pulled that number out of my ass, not necessarily the reality of things, just a best guess of mine.)

Essentially, rather than taking the time to do several sequential "if this, then that" statements, all possible "if this's" are done simulataneously. Afterwards, a search algorithm picks the appropriate string of if then statements, following them to their logical end, thus very quickly coming to an answer via parallel processing.

I think it would be interesting to do every possible combo of "if so-and-so wins that round, and I win over here, we'd play against each other, and since our first competitors are still in a game or were no shows, we'll go ahead and play, and if it so turns out that we eventually do meet each other, the victor has already been determined."

Furthermore, this would require blindness to the brackets, otherwise we may be like, "Well I lost to Bob in what would have been the final, so why try in the bracket beneath that which would determine if I would haveeven faced Bob to begin with?"

Perhaps with such a Quantum setup, we could also allow for a winner to be determined more along the lines of an algorithm based upon wins and losses, and against whom, and how they do against others, thus determining who gets to go to the, "SC2 Superbowl," so to speak. Idk, it might be fun to have a seasonal setup, over multiple days/weeks, allowing for games to be saved and casted while replayed over the interim days between "game nights".

Just some thoughts.

And yes, I am insane. :D

You are insane O_O.
Want to host one with the style above (so that I can play? )

So I know one of my matches was casted by Ipp but I can't seem to find the cast for it on the link provided. Where should I go to find it?
