"This game already needs a definitive edition"- some guy in Lidakor's chat after seeing less than 5 minutes of gameplay. He's not wrong 11

Sure, or Dave could try not to say it 500 times in two hours.

I don't think the casters realize this, but all of them have started saying "yeah yeah" or even worse "yeah yeah yeah" about two dozen times per game. I'm really not sure where they picked that up, but it is insanely annoying.

If they deliberately and obviously threw their games they would never be invited to another big tournament. There's not even a remote concern of that occurring tomorrow.

True, but two groups of 7 players playing round robin would have worked quite well within the schedule. It'd probably mean more games on the B stream, but nothing wrong with that.

"Empire Wars is definitely the future but not how it presently looks, it needs a lot of work" -what Daut actually said 2021 (minute 52:30) He also mentioned how completely unbalanced EW is and said that it starts too fast. "Something in between" RM and EW is what he actually cited as the...

I guess when you haven't had a good 1v1 result since like 2019 this is what you resort to.

A good start to becoming a respectable esport would be announcing tournaments more than a few weeks in advance so that all players, not just those in the inner circle, can prepare for them and so that fans have something on the calendar to look forward to. SC2 gets a lot of random hate here but...

What possible benefit, for players or fans, is there to keeping info about this tournament so hidden?

Ok but still there are tons of medalists and they aren't finding that many cases. A far cry from "pretty much everybody" being positive, which was clearly just made up.

Doesn't seem true at all. Source? Everything I'm finding online says they find a few dozen new positive samples per olympics upon retesting. https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/15573283/ioc-says-31-test-positive-doping-retests-2008-beijing-olympic-samples...

I would like to see a random map tournament with an increased number of starting villagers (12-15 seems good) to act as a counterbalance to the increase in Empire Wars tournaments we're seeing lately (two more announced just this week). I'm of the opinion that standard RM is a bit too slow, but...

Too far zoomed out. Otherwise he did fine.
