The Icarus Sky Tournament 6/8 4PM EST [BRACKET]
N-Sunderland:
Great matches today (except the sniper ones, those were awful). Brawling with PaFa was an absolute blast.
Also, I'd just like to mention this to Qwerty:
The mortar does not do piercing damage. None whatsoever. It only does explosive. If it did piercing, everybody would run double mortars on their Pyras.
Morblitz:
I'm actually getting a bit tired of casters losing their professionalism over games they perceive as slow. Stuff is still happening, doesn't mean you start making fun of the teams or debating about the merit of pumping dubstep into the feed, or turning stream feeds upside down, or changing the subject to something completely unrelated just because YOU can't think of anything else to talk about. There is always something you can talk about regarding the game (players, tactics, loadouts, advantages/disadvantages of maps depending on what teams are in them) without coming off as disrespectful to the people that are responsible for making your stream happen. It might just mean you'd have to do your homework, is all.
If you guys want to be seen as professional, that's not the way to do it. All it does is make the whole thing a lot more negative than it really needs to be. It's kind of becoming an acceptable norm for commentators to behave like this, and it's actually the fault of the casters why I do not enjoy watching long matches.
I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but with such a big push to get community e-sports and occasionally effective out there, well. I don't think the mentality of bashing the games that players are putting an effort into, is all that classy - and it's not a great trait for casters to have.
Just be respectful, guys.
To give credit, I think last weeks gentlemen vs valiant match was casted relatively well.

Out of curiosity, for the purposes to today, which stream are you referring to (as there were two running during the first set of games)?
Morblitz:
Corvus and was it, Pafa? I actually closed it half way through because I was so tired of the commentary.
I know the commentators there were just volunteers and I applaud them for giving it a go - and when they actually talked about the game it was good. But they are representing the Community e-sports group and occasionally effective, and it seems now easier to fall into that negative casting mentality regarding long matches because there's already a precedence set for this as acceptable behaviour.
I'm honestly quite disappointed that I even had to bring this up at all.
Qwerty Kun:
Was it me and PapaParapdox your refering to? or Honeybadger and Fade?
