Looks like we've got 16 teams for the NA / EU games. Are the rules, etc. gonna be changed / finalized by tomorrow?

I'd love to see a season of ESEA where we try out the 30 minute time limit and / or 5 win difference. Though to be more realistic, maybe trying the ruleset in a tournament or something first. But NA has already had exposure to the ruleset, and overall I just think the games flow better, we shouldn't be afraid of trying this out.

Bring the EU ruleset of 30 minutes / 5 round win differential over to this even for NA. I've been dying to play EU ruleset again, and it's better for tournaments anyway.

I'll be planning to go to this one for sure. Will most likely need a ride from Mass.

I for one am looking forward to your casting, Mr. Danford.

owl is probably just mad he can't play Patrons correctly.

Good read. Go Sad Men, go Shiki, go karova, go Froot!

Do not believe shounic's lies.

I'm trying to get the mana + Tery casting combo but the Korean half of the combo is being a little bitch!

(That's mana)

Holy shit.

"...but is anything as weird as i love novice (with two players rostered) still having as many wins as SYOPS TF2 and Mumble Robots combines?"

The weird part is that ESEA even kept rosters like Mad Men / SMTM in IM after registration when they didn't have paid rosters but got scheduled up against teams anyway. Don't think I've ever seen that in non-Invite divisions before.

Been looking to practice matchups and possibly get into tournaments.

So everything worked out that night. I did have scrims but the match was rescheduled to tonight at 10:30 EST. Hope to see some of you there, and I'll hopefully have a Youtube VOD up later tonight. Haven't figured out quality options though, will have to walk it through with someone at a later time.

So if I end up having scrims I won't be able to cast live. We'll see what happens, if I miss it I may just recast like the other.

I may try to find a good Badlands game to recast tomorrow afternoon - just to be consistent and have at least one cast / one map per week. But! Tomorrow night I'm gonna cast a match full of some old teammates and friends: Bird Noises vs. Sad Men on Granary, which is a solid matchup between 2 top Open teams and another glimpse of the potential postseason.
