1. Mention that they don't have players in GSL. 2. Mention that they are in last place in PL. 3. Mention that they don't have good players in general. 4. Bash MKPs past. 5. Mock their shop concept.
Just tailor your bashes around these key points and you'll have a good Prime bash. The rest comes with learning by doing/experience.

6. Tease that Byun is in hiding to avoid the shame of playing for them anymore.

I mean Taeja has played 23 games today, Snute played 20, Jaedong played 20, etc etc. That's a lot of high pressure matches in just one day. I agree with this. Bo5 play is great if you have only one or two matches that day, but a long tournament like this and it will lead to worse play.
Two to three matches, not one to two. One match = two hours tops on average. That's not a work day by any measure.
Also there's the point that it's harder to diversify in a bo5 series on the fly. I think it's better suited for GSL style formats and the finals.
Some players are better able to diversify on the fly than others, why shouldn't they be rewarded? San basically "figured out" ForGG and almost made a comeback, in what everyone here thinks was a fantastic series. If this had been a BO3, it would have been a one-sided stomp from ForGG and we wouldn't have gotten to see San adapt.
I agree that 23 games is definitely overkill, especially if there was a lot of downtime between matches, but that's more of a problem with doing too much in one day than a BO5 format. I felt like this was really refreshing and gave strong players lots of opportunities to come back.

Wow, this will be hard for ForGG First against JD and then most likely against Dear.

Dear isn't playing too well it seems, guess his spark burned out a bit after those gold wins, however JD will be a massive hurdle. I believe in ForGG though, he hasn't disappointed thus far!

The twitch channel was recorded, so you have the stream without time stamps already. http://www.twitch.tv/rogtournament/b/499621671 it usually doesn't take long until it is timestamped by some friendly community member on reddit or SC2casts.com

Like Coach Choya after he achieved his 100% winrate against MKP in GSTL.

Nobody remembers any of those. We all remember Jjkaji vs Leenock though!

Or are you counting Creator's win?
