I could maybe stream. I end up commentating on the streams/games we (my roommates and I are all SC2 stream addicts) watch around the house, I'd just have to test to make sure my upload bandwidth is decent. Probably having a co-caster (Skype) would be best though...but honestly given the format, we'll probably want to stream replays anyway. I have high quality mics, cameras, and a computer setup with all the correct software.

I can't promise quality commentary though...

Do you want to play as well?

Looking for volunteers to stream still. I could do it but I don't have anything set up at all. I will if I have to though :-)

All you need is good upload bandwidth. I followed destiny's guide and it works out well.

No. I'm really out of practice and I'm basically a Gold-level player atm, as much as I beat my Plat/Diamond practice partners...

Edit: Let me test my setup and bandwidth.

nar · « **Reply #65 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 16:35:30 »

I'd help with streaming, but my upload connection is **** right now >_<. Barely enough for 360p...
If anyone wants help setting stuff up though I'd be willing to help.

I'm a toss who switched to random and decided to play Macro Games. I'm still in Gold becuase I can't win a game as Terran without cheesing, my Zerg is not much better either XD. But this tournament needs more Random players so I'm in.

From the tournament webpage, best of one for the first two rounds. Quarters and semis will be best of three, finals best of five.

Map pool: MLG Xel'Naga Caverns, MLG Testbug, MLG Metalopolis, GSL Bel'Shir Beach, GSL Xel'Naga Fortress.

I was under the impression that WASDkeyboards' caps were not PBT. Edit: Yeah WASD's website says ABS.
Qtan has both ABS and PBT I believe.

Qtan on the other hand clearly labels his by type.

Yeah, WASD only has ABS keycaps in stock IIRC. I e-mailed them about having any PBT keycaps in stock but they replied saying it was too expensive to carry at this time.

Qtan and imsto both have PBT keycaps available.

I assume it's front-printed; otaku/blank would have been written as such.

Ahh my bad for saying WASD. In my mind the caps are really nice (much better than SP) and some how linked that to PBT.

Well, if GSL Code S is to be believed, nobody wants to face Protoss right now. I watched the GSL Code S Ro 16 Group Pick and NesTea & DRG both said the same thing. All of the high level Korean Zerg players are of the opinion right now that they CANNOT beat Protoss and for the most part it looks like high level PvT play has been "figured out" as well. Even though we don't show all that strong, it's a good time to be Protoss right now.

At high level play, no one can really beat Protoss in the late game.

But at lower leagues like where we're at, the game is still balanced (for the most part). There are still a lot of strategies out there that can be exploited (I won't be getting into them since we're all going for those keycaps!) because we're not playing at that high of a level where balance starts to become a major issue.

All that being said, it really is a good time to be a Protoss player.

My point exactly.:nono:

Do we really want people to know about (censored) and (censored) being OP in the (censored) matchup? That would give others a real big advantage, wouldn't it?

hazeluff · « **Reply #92 on:** Mon, 30 January 2012, 09:26:10 »

High level balance is very different from low level. Us normal people lack the speed, precision and decision making that the pros do to make these balance issues matter

Yes it seems like a couple different members are seeing if they can set it up. Hopefully some casters!
