** A SELECTION OF WEEK 10 MATCHES WILL BE CAST ON Sunday, Jul 09 9:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) **>> https://www.twitch.tv/TrappedInC <<--- Week 10 Matches ---JorDaddy < Full Series > ProbuA ProForward < Full Series > Stardom L_Master < Full Series > PiSan For the final week of the Team League phase of the CPL, joining me will be dark.matter! He is officially the second-most successful player in the CPL, a C- Terran trying to reach his dreams and attain C before SC:R is released! In the past he has reached C- in 2011, but now that he got a sick new job working from home, he has had the opportunity to reach for his dreams once more. He is also the man behind the South Park mod for Brood War, a member of the #1 team of Drag n' Herb, and one of the fastest up-and-comers in the league! He has recently cast a grudgematch from within his team, and I felt that he was more than ready to join me on a cast here. Look forward to some insight from the Stardom perspective against ProForward, banter, and the usual CPL hijinx. FIGHTING!

And just like that, the Team League phase of CPL is all wrapped up! This coming week I will have quite a few short broadcasts, that I will try to keep you guys posted about. This coming Sunday, expect two broadcasts shortly after the first set of Playoff games - one by me, and one by L_Master!
Another thing to look forward to is a totally revamped Liquipedia which will be more streamlined, and with extra statistics and stuff. Also, there is a surprise brewing...
EDIT: ---Update---
1. Liquipedia got a new look! More to come. Check it out:

Neat casts! I watch a little here and there of them when I can. I really like Herbs suggestion to have a more dedicated feedback template (with scoring by subsections).

DNH....your apology is NOT accepted.
You are one of my favorite players in this league, and one of the best. I thoroughly enjoy watching your games. You have nothing to apologize for.
You are awesome!
- your #1 fangirl...I mean boy.

It's hard to parse skill into any category consistently, especially being not much better than the average player in this league. But it is doable if it was not so "on the fly" during the last broadcast given my limited abilities. I will do my best to make it work for playoffs!

** EVENT CAST: BITS AND ENDS WILL BE CAST ON Friday, Jul 14 8:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) **>> https://www.twitch.tv/TrappedInC <<---BITS AND ENDS---ProForward < Game 1 Week 9> L_Master ProForward < Game 2 Week 9 > L_Master L_Master < Game 1 Week 5> dark.matter lazersnipe <Storm Drop! Week 5> evilEye As well as... Analysis of high level vs. build-orders via rep! This week I will be running solo, covering all the content I've been pushing off for various reasons throughout the league! The game list is self-explanatory - tune in to see a couple of the most successful players in the league face off in 3 matches! Following that, we will be taking another look at the epic battle between the two 100 apm Protoss heroes and top 10 players, evilEye and lazersnipe, with our eyes peeled for lazersnipe's first successful storm drop! After that, I will be loading replays from players such as Bisu and SuGo to compile some fresh build orders from some high level players! This has historically been one of the most difficult match-ups for Protoss players, so I thought it would be a good idea to look at how the best do what they do best, and at the same show some of the newer players out there how to look at build orders and incorporate them into your play. It might be a little less lively than it normally would be with two casters, but I hope you guys will tune in! IMPROTANT NOTICEPlease please PLEASE send your replays to lazersnipe as soon as possible after your Playoff matches this weekend! We will be casting them on the same day in two sequential broadcasts - more details will be announced soon! Fighting!

the real question is: is the forge inwards? balanced against the cliff? might it be askew?

All good things must come to an end....for some of us
I wish # t e a m could of went a little further, but I am overall happy with how we progressed during the season and so proud of what we accomplished. Having said that, some shout-outs and notes:
* Big shout out and thank you to lazersnipe. This man has organized the best league in BW at the moment, bar none. It helps that the pansy ass foreigner cry babies aren't in it. Love it man. Keep it up. I am a fan for life.
* Thank you to all the casters, organizers, and behind-the-scene people who make everything possible but rarely get any credit. I don't know all of you and don't want to leave anyone out, so I'll just say thank you to all of you. I truly appreciate everything you do and have done and will do.
* Big shout out to my coaches. Jealous and Faust. You guys were great coaches (in my opinion) and I have learned a lot from you. You have been very supportive of me and that is not something I take lightly.
* Big shout out to my team, t e a m, the best team. You guys are all cool as fuck and I have learned a lot from you and with you. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with you guys and enjoyed our downtime even more. In no particular order, f10eqq, fazek, qikz, xloctis, lmaster, zelderan....hell even tinyreaver and tankgirl, who never showed up. Thank you guys so much. You have definitely given me a lot more than I could ever have given you, even though you might not know it. I appreciate you.
* To all the other teams and players in the league: thank you and good luck. Thank you for our games and for showing love and being some cool people; most of you anyway Good luck to everyone else in the rest of the tour. I am going to be watching and supporting you all as best I can. I am always here if you need someone to smash and boost your ego or want to receive some nonsense advice from a novice
*** Oh and I shouldn't encourage catfishing but big shout out to Faust and Cadenzie. Your weird relationship creeps me the fuck out and turns me on at the same time. You guys give me hope and I hope you keep it going. I'll come to the wedding....as long as it's open bar (don't be cheap; please and thank you) and Faust wears a kilt and there's golf and bagpipes there, too (and anything else that's stereotypical Scottish).
On a side note, I don't know how many of you tuned in to the cast I was on but I enjoyed that and hope to do it again in the future. I enjoy offending and cybering....occasionally both. Let your voices be heard and demand more of evilEye; I won't disappoint you....unlike the women in my life.
On another side note, I normally just play alone and do whatever. This league has allowed me to meet many cool people and brought me some exposure in knowing a lot of people in the scene. This is priceless to me. I will pay it back by continuing to improve and give back whatever I can to the community....all you gotta do is ask! I promise this is not the last time you will hear/see me.
THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Peace and Love.
evilEye out.....bitches!
(insert most epic mic drop of all time here)
