ACTIVITY!

really great! TY mirio for doing this =)) really hoping to see more american players to get active. Now is your time, NA ppl! get this cup active(ish) and im sure you will get some more cup fun very soon after this

Finally, a cup where I won't have an awful ping!

:3

I'll try my best to be there.

I'm in.

Antibody vs Salamala - make it happen! (even if you have to manipulate the brackets)

ughghghhg i get off work an hour after it starts!

I will add you to the brackets. The other matches will be just played first then.

I can try to stream between my matches. I guess ballist1c would join in for casting.

Or maybe even better we can get rid of my matches first. Don't have high hopes.

I'd love to take part but I'll be working. Best of luck to all involved!

Poll is closed:

Mappool: Blood Run, Final Rage, Stormkeep

Starts in 6,5 hours!

Many people showed up. However it got very late for EU players, cause lack of servers.

Some YouTube VODs tomorrow!

great cup mirio! so many people!

Thank you Mirio for your hard work in making this happen. You were up for far too long in order to see this through, and your dedication is admired and appreciated.

Thank you to ballist1c and antibody for some great casting of early matches. You two are a great combination and I hope to hear more from you guys. Thanks to all the EU players who stayed up way too late. Sorry that we only had the one east coast server!

It was good to see as many NA players as I did today. We'll have to do more of these soon! Congrats to spinda for handidly beating me in the upper bracket semis and again in the grand finals. Next time, I'll be ready


I created some vods of the grand finals on twitch while testing out what my pc/network is capable of. For those that are interested:
Map 1 (720P, 30fps)
Map 2 (1024x576, 60fps)
The weird bits of warping and dropped sounds are because I had some networking issues that I played with. That is not indicative of the stream quality, as it's present in the demos as well.

...and as an added bonus, I got this portion of mirio vs. spinda recorded. Great final moments of their first map. http://www.twitch.tv/soorkedy/b/436931606

P.S. It's been a long time since that many "smoke.'s" have been in the same server. It was a good time

Thank you very much Mirio. Great job in setting this up!

Thank you Mirio for organizing the cup. It's nice to visit NA sometimes
Nice commentaries from Antibody and ballist1c too, as always. Watching demos much more fun with it!
