    Streams will start in an hour and fifteen minutes.

    There is nowhere on the homepage which tells me where I can watch this tournament.

    I have to browse all the way down past the long patch notes to the news post to know its going on at all, and there is no working link to the twitch stream

    So then I have to go to twitter to find one (because the twitter feed on the homepage is broken for days), but there is no clear link for where I go to watch the tournament. There are links to other twitch streams so I went to them but they are not broadcasting.

    Now I've just caught the latest tweet which links to the official NS2 twitch page <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2" target="_blank">http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2</a>

    Please don't make it so hard for people to find the latest news from your home page. People who don't go on twitter will struggle to find the twitch stream for this major tournament.

    That link <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2" target="_blank">http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2</a> could be put pinned on the homepage for the duration of the tournament, and in the first post here.

    Don't mean to whine so much but with the game coming out soon these things need to be working - no broken links, twitter feed working, latest stuff readily available on the homepage.

    I think there's quite som things they can take away from this, with regards to conveying information. There should _really_ be a central site for a tournament where you can see everything and find the information. The information both for teams and viewers in general, has been very very under par.

    Yup that is right there needs to be a section on the homepage for all this.

    The more I try to find out about the tournament the more I realise I have to read unknownworlds.com, the forums, the twitter, twitch and facebook too. Each of those sites has unique information about the tournament.

    The information is displayed clearly on facebook but I dont like facebook and I think UW should encourage people to stay on their own site by embedding or cross posting stuff from those 3rd party sites.

    Just seen a game between Nxl and ARC on Veil, and Nxl complained about 2nd hive Onos at end. Not massively, just one guy in one sentence.

    Anyway, it is odd to see Onos come straight out before fades and that is just fine. But the thing allowing the Onos to get away so quickly is charge.

    Perhaps restrict charge until 3rd hive, or restrain some of its upgrades to hive 3?

    Onos shouldn't be worthless until hive 3.

    GGs to all, had fun. Looks like this tourney was the smoothest one yet in terms of logistics and drama levels =P Congrats to everyone and thanks to UWE for hosting it.

    I cannot begin to thank all of you. Special shout out to Huze, ScardyBob, GISP, Ryne, Blind, RTS/FPS Guru. I have tons of games still uploading to YouTube

    Yea good job everyone. I think between the three streams, UW, blind and fps guru, it peaked around 1000 viewers.

    The official stream peaked at around 1400 viewers. I think we've had similar numbers before, though.

    GGs to all the teams and GJ to the organizers and casters.

    can you guys please drop a link where we can rewatch it? I couldnt make to watch online, was too late and mobile version of twitch was all black screen.

    PS found it

    <a href="http://ru.twitch.tv/naturalselection2/b/335453259" target="_blank">NS2 @ twitch tv</a>

    The twitch page is still in Guru tournament mode, kinda confusing <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2/b/335793780" target="_blank">http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2/b/335793780</a>
