My thought top seeds were given from previous performance in NVIDIA Cups. Maybe Dimaga just didn't attend for them. My thought top seeds were given from previous performance in NVIDIA Cups. Maybe Dimaga just didn't attend for them.

And we will finally have a terran wining a tournament.



Hopefully there would be a english stream.

Musicus Profile Joined August 2011 Germany 23393 Posts #8 . What a great tournament, lineup and prize pool for a beta tournament, can't wait to watch it all . Well this looks way more fun than the pHD torunament (which is still great), but I feel sorry for the non-germans. What a great tournament, lineup and prize pool for a beta tournament, can't wait to watch it all Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Come on guys, throw up some english casters on another stream, even a restream, im sure you have dozens of people who would jump at the chance and viewership would increase many times over. Second HOTS tournament and has a lot of players such as IdrA that many people want to see that will not be in HD and Painuser's tournament, its a big deal, open the floodgates Come on guys, throw up some english casters on another stream, even a restream, im sure you have dozens of people who would jump at the chance and viewership would increase many times over.

I see no reason why Take should allow an english stream for his tournament. Obviously, I don´t know his business model and how he gets his ROI but to me, it wouldn´t make any sense to create an english stream.



If there would be an english stream, almost all or all non german-speakers would watch the english stream and his stream on TakeTV would lose viewers which is a bad thing. More viewers means more money through advertising and he can present good viewership numbers to his sponsors.



Also, I do not think that he´s losing viewers because the stream is German because a Tournament like this will have enough viewers and even a lot of non-german speaking people will watch it regardless of the language.

chocopaw Profile Blog Joined May 2011 1812 Posts Last Edited: 2012-09-11 19:36:56 #15 Why would you cast this in german...... Is there at least a secondary stream?



@ the guy above me: Well, why would the sponsors care if the viewer numbers are divided into two different streams? No problem in having the same advertisements in both of them.



I speak german, but I absolutely do not enjoy watching streams in it. http://twitter.com/lechocopaw

Musicus Profile Joined August 2011 Germany 23393 Posts #16 I don't think Take should use an english secondary stream, I'd rather wish that for tournaments like this or S2tW he would invite for example Kaelaris or Hasuobs or Socke to his place. With an english caster take is totally capable of co-casting in english. Even Naruto and Take could do it I bet, look at the Ministry of Win people. Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

He could let someone stream on his B-Stream with his sponsors and take all (or most) of the advertisement money.

I bet a lot of upcoming casters would be excited for the opportunity alone to cast such a high-profile tournament - without earning anything.
