irvnasty Profile Joined July 2019 United States 10 Posts #3 Guys, I’m irvnasty, and I’ve provided the financial support to make this event possible. This post is a little lengthy, but I wanted to give a little background, so bear with me.



Firstly, I want to thank Wardi for his hard work bringing this to fruition. He has been extremely responsive from day one, and his suggestions and guidance in how to approach this have really made him a joy to work with. I have every confidence that he will make this tournament live up to my hopes and expectations and yours. I’m sure all will agree that Wardi personifies passion and commitment to our scene, and I believe that his casting shows unrivaled professionalism in keeping focus where it belongs—on Starcraft, the players themselves, and the decisions they make that create such rich and compelling gameplay.



Secondly, I want to thank ZombieGrub for agreeing to join as co-caster for the event’s knockout stages over the final three days. ZombieGrub’s outstanding game knowledge is supplanted only by her gift for expressing clearly and accessibly the things that she sees developing in the game as they happen.



While our scene is blessed with many great casters, for me Wardi and ZombieGrub are somewhat of a dream team in that I have been enjoying their work casting on Twitch day after day and night after night for years. I feel that I have been along for the ride as each of them has grown into his or her place in the scene. I have long felt that each of them is deserving of more opportunities to cast live events, and I am certain that they will demonstrate that they belong at the mic even as the very best players in the world are at the keyboard. It would gratify me deeply if this event were to blossom into more and similar opportunities for each of them in the future.



I certainly also want to thank the players who will choose to participate. We know that you are busy, and we have tried to put together a format and prize pool, in both the main event and the qualifiers, that will justify your participation and reward you for your success. Likewise, we’ve tried to schedule the event in such a way that it will avoid conflicts and allow your love of competition to prevail. My fingers are crossed that even the biggest names in Starcraft will recognize the benefit of growing grassroots community tournaments to support the future of the game and will consider taking part.

Thank you so much for such an unbelievable gift to the scene! I can't express how much this means. Highly approve of ZG as a co-caster too. This is going to be awesome, I can't wait to play in it!
