Do you recon is they all showed up naked ESL would either:
A: Tell them to put clothes on and go away. B: Not care. C: Not steam it live and post production pixilation to hide everything. D: Use crafty props + camera angles to hide everything.

Oh that's cool! Earlier we were told there was no room for spectators. Hopefully people will still find their way to see this news and get on the place regardless of the misinformation.

I can't help wondering how ESL will take it when it's an "RTS/FPS" and all of the alien rounds look exactly the same.
Still, best of luck to both involved. I hope we're all in for an exciting weekend!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I have no idea about the format. Probably BO5 - BO9.

For the ESL casters, I doubt they'll even notice it since they probably haven't seen a lot of NS2 matches, if any, before this one. Will be interesting to see if they can make heads or tails of the game though, I assume they'll read up on the game and hopefully watch some previous casts beforehand, but you never know.

Exertus will be: Zups, TrC, Nadyli, Laama, Elmo, Squirreli
My understanding of Archaea is that they will have 8 players present. To the best of my knowledge that will mean: Scrajm, Zeikko, Tane, Fana, Koryo, Skuggan, Eagleeye, Treffnix.

I absolutely loved watching the ESL stream. It was a fantastic show by the presenters and casters, great to watch such high level play and superb to see so many players I have played with/against in the flesh.
Thanks to ESL/UWE/Archaea/Exertus for putting on such a great show!

Excellent casting. Much better. Great job all around. Except when Hugh said that Scrajm was microing a drifter while commanding marines, and the few circumstances harvesters were called hives. Hehehe.

Excellent tourney, well played by both teams. When Arc won the first 3 rounds I was a bit disappointed, but then Exertus managed to pull together two victories and make Arc work for it. Very exciting finish!
Also I have to say, Fana and Squirreli are both monsters! Sweet goddess, those guys are HUGE. Would have loved to see Squirreli pick Flayra up and throw him across the room when he said armories fixing armor is a good thing.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
As usual the casters don't grasp the game. Lost count of how many times hugh thought teams were saving tres for onos on one hive. Charlie answering questions on why things are in eg. cysts and armory healing lead me to believe charlie pays a ghost designer.
The player questions were funny and some awkwardly funny. Best part of the tourny by far

Also I predict both teams spending a lot of time on adjusting the hardware there to their needs... like mouse sens.
looks like there will be spectator seating
