I was thinning of trying to do this. Course if I'm playing I can't be casting

But what I could do is cast the games after everything is done (ie no live stream)

That was one of the original rules =P

[Blaster86]

Just so everyone knows: If you don't have a replay in now, it's a loss for both players. I will be tallying up the standings tonight and I know for a fact two incredibly good players are likely not advancing due to not reporting the outcomes of their games.

It sucks that it came down to this, I blame myself for not setting harder deadlines and harassing people more. If I do this again I am going to set hard dates for everything and find a better, easier reporting system.

We all should have saved our replays and sent them in right away. I made the mistake of procrastinating and now they are gone.

[FlamesPuck12]

Well I sent in all my replays in except our game. Do you need that replay as well?

...N... Yes. Sorry. You get a loss.

[Blaster86]

Also: only the winner needed to record the Replay. Gah. I really need to do a better job organizing things.

Post the standings already!

I am trying to compile them. It's hard when I am missing 50% of the replays and have duplicates from the winner and the loser

Also it's best of 3 starting this round right?

[IliketoPuck]

I will pass on my game, Blaster. I don't have time to play SC2 at the moment. Best of luck to everyone in the tournament, may the best player win!

in other news...

While the matchmaking system as a whole is looking very strong, one area we identified for improvement was matchmaking for arranged teams that were still in placement matches. We found these first few matches for arranged teams were giving them an unfair advantage against their opponents. Since so many new arranged teams were being created every day, this was resulting in a noticeable amount of imbalanced matches for team games. The corrections we've made should show an improvement for many team players, especially in the sub-Gold leagues.

[Torture]

So Blizzard just released the latest top 200.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/789458

Of the top 20 players in North America there are:
15 Terran
4 Protoss
1 Zerg

Wow. That's a hell of a lot of Terrans.

[burn_this_city]

1 Zerg is pretty sad. I think there will be further balancing, I'm struggling to compete as Zerg especially against Terran.
