TY TB and Genna for SCA. I really hope a second season comes back. Blizzard, if you're following this thread, please sponsor SCA. They made your ladder meaningful for once since SC2 came out. | ||

The night the ladder locked, you had a stream going on covering the approaching final GM ranks. You had Catz in a skype call with you. It was a live report of the finish line - you had your fingers on the pulse of every NA GM player desperately grinding that one last game, trying for those last few points, hungry, hungry, oh so fucking hungry to qualify. The buzz was palpable. The gossip was intense - Everyone was watching everyone, checking profiles, chatting, watching streams intently, keeping careful track of every ladder point exchanged. Puck losing a game to competition, giving them points and nearly forcing Vibe out - And Vibe's narrow victory for a paltry 3 ladder points which got him the final slot. To me, this was the most exciting part of the whole thing. I watched as much as I could with the production issues following the players I liked, because I was hooked from the very start. The ladder-centric format of the tournament was something I could identify with, not just because of the NA pro players whose names I knew and whose streams I watched, but because unlike nearly every other marathon-style qualifier, the format was so familiar because I live it myself. I turned on your stream in the final minutes of the season because I myself was done trying to hit my own personal best on the ladder. I finished my grind, and tuned into the chaotic struggle of the players at the top. I really hope can you try again, with the fervor you claim to have for solving the problems. It's not only the storylines, personalities and potential for hometown heroes and up-and-comers, The biggest hook for me was that at the core of the entire SCA, was the NA ladder, The same NA ladder I play, with the same maps, the same matchmaking querks, the same uncertainty of the value or penalty of each loss and win. The same NA GM ladder I could open up and access in my own game client, with the blizzard music playing in the background, to view the rankings or scope out individual players to follow their final matches as the last grains of sand in the hourglass ran through. To me, that was the most engaging part of the entire thing, and for that, I hope your event never dies. | ||

As a sometimes-viewer of sca i could really feel the pain of the organization team. You guys did put a LOT of effort in this Happening, and i think that is what puts your viewer counts / entertainment value over wcsAmerica, which i found "disgusting", to say with stephanos words. | ||

Also the lack of Terrans -- or at least competitive Terrans -- turned me off. | ||

None of those guys are doing anything else except WCS. Why wouldn't they play a couple series to win some guaranteed money, and get some exposure? Even ro16 gets $75 and ro8 got $350. None of them would turn down an invite probably, except Idra (due to retirement?). Idra actually was trying to qualify. | ||
