For those, who hate to watch stuff on twitch: here is the youtube-link.

Also, as you can see, we could use a few more casters, especially, since Hefty is not able to cast the 19+21 CET-matches (sorry Zefram, after an hour stream at midnight, I didn't spot that one..., please make a quick edit).

If there are no further casters comming in, we need to redistribute the ones, which signed up a bit, otherwise Group A would be underrepresented in the streams.

So, if you want to help out by doing a cast, throw me a message!

I couldn't find there anything about that in the rules. Maybe I missed it. Is it allowed to reschedule a match because of lack of players?

@ what jason wrote: Yep, we agreed on that, we move Hefty's cast of the 17 CET game to No Frenchies vs. Third World Internet and RnJ can take that spot.

@LyDDa: No, a reschedule is not intended. You can recruit some more players, though. There had been a few half-done teams, which did not find 8 people.

Registrations ended before you get enough players?

@feuxdakis: The registration closed Wednesday-night with 11 full teams (8 players needed). Yours had not enough players registered at that point. Afterwards only 1 spot was left. So I announced on the Steam-Group, that the first team with 8 guys contacting me, would get that spot. It was NAllStars team, who answered that.

At that point you still had 5-6 players registered.

Oh s*** I didn't see we needed 8 players ^^ I thought 6 (as NSL rules say) was ok... I'll learn how to read rules for the next time XD

Don't worry guys, we are working hard on it and the solution (to casting each match) comes closer.

Just talked to Ixian and he voluntered for casting 3 matches:

17 CET: Angry Cats : RAWR
19 CET: NAllStars : RAWR
21 CET: TAWtaly New : No Frenchies

Edit: Write in: Ixian & Friends, as he brings cocasters, but not sure which ^^

Further we got DCDarkling from TAW to cast his fellows (no worries, there is an independent ref)

17 CET: PreAlpha : TAWtaly New.

That leaves two games open. Would be cool, if we can get each game casted.

Edit: Here is DC's channel: DC Darkling

And here we go, since the finals of div3 got moved, Hefty is suddenly available for the last 2 games, which needs a cast.

So the 2 Third World Internet games are done by Hefty and each game will be casted. Thanks to all casters! You are awesome

Third World Internet had some troubles with their team and retreated from the tournament. Thankfully Mega_ jumps in to save the day. Third World Internet is hence replaced by the team "Der Blanke" just in case somebody wonders.

It's been fixed on the front page. Sadly, it cannot be changed on the matches pages. You guys will assume Third World Internet = Der Blanke.

Wow, what a day!

Thanks to all the players, casters, referees and helpers for putting this together and keeping that amazingly tight schedule.

We had a blast in our casters office. Congrats to all the qualified teams for the semis.

See you on Sunday, when we wrap the whole thing up :)
