Getting well over 200k unique viewers per day is well deserved considering the quality which you and your team delivered. | ||

I enjoyed the casting and obviously the games as well. It's awesome that you provide analysis like this, and I think most of the points you listed are spot on. I look forward to the next event. | ||

But seriously, good to hear things are doing great. The chinese numbers somewhat surprise me, compared to other regions, but i guess that's just how much i underestimated china. | ||

Anyone that suggests you hyped it too much or it didn't live up to the hype is both blind and an idiot. Holy shit that was amazing, thank you so much! Also, this post was excellent and incredibly informative and I really wish more organizations would discuss their events like this. If everyone in esports followed your example, on basically anything you touch, we'd all be better off. | ||

I am confident in my casting ability and that my style is appealing to a wide audience and while Husky remains the most popular caster in Starcraft 2 I think it's safe to safe that the numbers are on my side. I am sorry that you cannot share my passion for the game, that is a bit sad. Husky yells a lot more. He cannot speak without yelling and over time it's annoying (like you can't have 4Hours of Husky. But 2Hours 3hours is fine). So your casting is fine as always. Also. Husky doesn't have british accent. Also Thank you again for that. I just realized you have a twitch channel (i only watch vods). Going to subscribe to that too ! If i can pay for Proleague. I can pay for your stream. | ||

I think the suggestion is for an optional Crowdfunding like the Compendium in DOTA 2. Not sure what could be offered. People who donate have a chance to win a free TB casting of your replay? Sponsors do a giveaway of their product? Keep everything the same but let fans raise the prizepool beforehand and during the tournament. | ||

As a European it ran at weird times and I still watched big parts of it, simply because the games and the casting were both so good. I also want to say that the rebroadcast in the morning was an excellent surprise. More of that, please. :D I'm glad it went well for you and I hope that you'll do another one soon. | ||

Perhaps a highlight reel? Subtitled VoDs takes a VERY long time. | ||

Online tournaments are the way to go for sustainability I feel. DOTA does lots of them and does well for itself. If we found otherwise to subsidize them, like a sort of compendium system or in-game tickets that would be incredible, but right now we are very much hamstrung in that respect. | ||

A little sad about how Shoutcraft America turned out, but I fully understand and support the position on it, it's just not a tenable avenue of investment. | ||

Anyways anything from Sandisk on what they thought of the tournament? Also to get Kespa players to participate do you go directly to them or do you generally go through their team? | ||

Keep everything the same but let fans raise the prizepool beforehand and during the tournament. This. Again, I have no clue how well it would work as I'm no expert, haven't done "market research" etc. One example would be to get big name players on board pending the size of the prize pool. So if 5k is raised, Life agrees to do the tournament, up to 20k where Flash signs on etc etc. Or have people "donate" to a list of players, and the top 8 most donated to players get in (the money "donated" goes to the prize pool) while the rest of the money adds to the prize pool. Obviously the players on the initial list would have to agree to do it beforehand. | ||
