Good tourney, but the prize pool that Intel are putting up makes them look like cheap skates.

go strenx
go back at home

Should've had GTV but no they had to use some shitty spyware streaming solution that leaves everybody dead.

what does octoshape have to do with spyware?
it runs well and the quality is great (not even speaking about the prem quality)
you just have to install it in about 30 secs and never think about it again

everytime you open it, it makes itself open on startup and runs in the background.
ie. behaving like spyware.

except that it doesnt do anything harmfull o0
but yeah, i also hate invasive progs like that

seems like iw as right about esr ;)

sick good coverage and matches imo. +1 on the best tournament ever.

Quite ironic how this has probably been one of the best streamed tourneys I have seen.

The low quality option is good and has not dropped a frame.
Can't ask for more.

THe only thing that spoiled it for me was the prize money, its such a crappy amount it does not not add any tension.
It actually makes me disappointed at intel, because the total prize money they are putting up would be less than what it costs to fly one of their employees from LA to London in business class.

Example 3rd place gets 800 dollars, or a week's salary at McDonalds. I feel under valued as a spectator (I would be offended as a player), especially as intel are a multi billion dollar industry who posted 8- 9 billion dollar profits last year (and that was their worst year for some time and it in a recession)

They dare to spam i7 cpu, yet the 3rd place winner could not even afford an i7 gaming rig with winnings.
In fact, it would not even cover the flights and hotels to get to their event.

How can you respect that unless you're either involved with them or just live some crappy life where you have no concept of what it costs to live a semi independant life with things like rent/bills/food etc and are just grateful to see games.

Its better than nothing, but if you're going to pay people money for an event, don't insult them by paying them peanuts and a friendly handshake and a bit of E-fame for showing a lot of skill and dedication.

shit $800 a week? im gonna get a job at mcdonalds!

dude thats like 20 Euro.

800$ = 537€

That's about 2200€ per month. If he was talking before taxes that could actually be right, at least for the manager...
