Let's talk about other wildly successful illegal things in e-sports while we're at it.
hahaha both these comments are so good. they address both sides of the same coin pretty much
playing random puts you at a general disadvantage considering practice time (unless you actually focus on one race and get a lucky spawn), but basically takes a worker from your opponent at like 6 supply and limits his choice of strategies depending on some more random scouting luck factor (which can be pretty big on 4 player maps). we could have an endless discussion about whether that's a fair trade ^^

wasn't always illegal, but nobody successfully randomed since chrh for a short while (before changing to terran). that one time I went to korea and played a televised game on stage with lots of spectators, in 2005(?), nobody objected to me going random.

Pretty sure it's still not illegal. Coaches just don't allow it?

As Sayle said, that would be 7 bo3s which would take too long. However, we'll probably cast some random games from earlier rounds (either with some notable players or if we get a tip of some epic games) so it should be more than just 3 bo3s.

so, exactly which games will be casted?
I just wrote it ^^
Some random games from earlier rounds (either with some notable players or if we get a tip of some epic games) + Semi-finals + Finals.

I don't get the complaints. TSL2 barely had anything casted until the Ro16. We're doing 3 matches per qualifier and everything from the Ro24 up. There's going to be way more content.

no quarters ? ;(
lolwat
Remember, this is only qualifiers, and casting takes a lot of time and energy. We'll be bringing you plenty of stuff, so don't worry about that, whilst being conscious of viewer fatigue. I for one dislike running event broadcasts which take 6 hours until the viewer can see the final. Many people just can't watch that, and it's not so enjoyable to cast either.

It's not a complaint. It's that you guys are so awesome that we want even more than whatever you choose to do, regardless of your mental health. <3
