Finalized bracket is now up! See main post for details. The rules are also slightly updated, so be sure to read them over before tomorrow. 
 
Looking forward to playing with everyone :)

Sweet! If I win my first match I get to play against Brad :) Well...he has to win his first match too

I can't start my game until at least 2:30 p.m. EST, I won't get back from my law project until then.  >.> 
 
Art of War, you okay with that? 
 
EDIT:  I talked to him on Steam, he's cool with it.

" @KaosAngel: That'll be 1:30 PM CST, right? The tournament starts at 2:00 PM CST, so that should be fine. "

I just had to look up CST, damn I'm an idiot and forgot the East Coast is before everyone else...I kept thinkng 1:30 CST was 12:30 EST.  >.>

Sweet, excited to see the brackets are up! 
Just as a sidenote, I am playing from europe. If any lag occurs, I'll just forfeit the game. I don't want to impose lag on people just so I can play. 
 
quick question: are the matches leading up to the semis bo1 or bo3?

not if I have anything to say about it :P  See you guys tomorrow! "

" I may have to withdraw.  I received a call from a client and will have to work today.  I have doubts that I would be done in time before the tourney starts.  It would be pushing it based on the request I received.  If i'm not online, you can consider my match forfeit. "

if you need a replacement i can play, wharve.wharve

Okay, I'll be home soon...and will be switching between two PCs.  One will be for spectating with ArtofWar and doing a LiveStream with commantary, and then go back upstairs with my main desktop to play.  The PC downstairs is hooked up to a 60" TV, so I can't play on that.
 
Gonna get home, try to hook it up...and take a massive fuckign dump.  My partners decided to get mexican for lunch, and it's killing me quick.  x.x
 
If I can't hook up the Stream, then I will just stick with the upstairs PC.
 
EDIT:  The PC downstairs also plays the game on Ultra, while the upstairs one does it on Mid...for faster fps and lack of colours.  Too many fucking colours in SC2.

Alright everyone, we're ready to get rolling! Of course, the tournament doesn't technically start until 2:00PM CST, but if you'd like to get your first match done early or just chat with us, come on in!

Oh... boy.... 
 
Im screwed.

This really is a ton of fun, and it's not even over yet! I am all for doing this again sometime! 
 
Also, Brad's kicking some ass!

I got all the streams uploading, thanks for watching...and it's gonna get kinda full next week with the TeamLiquid users watching it, we just had to test it out today.  
 
Thanks for baring with it, and this shit is down now...and a lot of us will be making custom games and whatnot, so it's going to be fun.  :)
 
EDIT:  Brad's game IS FINALLY UP!  The offical timeslot of the game is at 10 minutes on the dot.
 
Look for the most recent video!  The latter half has my brother commontating, plus a bonus 2v2 with some fellow GB users!

Here's the Zuul vs. Ringbearer game that had that really cool mothership play (will be 1080p by tomorrow) --> 
 
 

" Awesome replay, I loved your and Kaos's commentary on my games (I'm Flippy) "Someone in that chat just said I like it when the Blue and Green dots on the map move... ain't that the truth..." "

"Saturday is bad for me, I'll have to drop out, but I'll be int he next one! "

I may have lost both my games, but I had a really amazing time. I hope we can get together and do this on a regular basis. 

oh wow, i didnt believe that brad was getting good at this game but it looks like he had a good run i kinda hope he comes back from the losers bracket to win it all, however unlikely that actually is xD

Hey guys, I had a lot of fun. I wasn't able to stay for the loser-match, I dunno if I can do that tomorrow or if it's too late, but hopefully I can. I was the one who was the first to lose to brad :P. My second 1v1 game (I usually play 2v2), and I totally messed up by not seeing his cybernetics, then out of nowhere i noticed my overlords being killed by a large army of Stalkers, which supply blocked me and won Brad the game. Totally not trying to take away credit, Brad outlasted and it was a great game, but I do wish I could have had that last 5 minutes back :P 
 
see you guys tomorrow! 

Thanks for all the fun games so far guys, this tourney is really helping me with my TvT's :P

Hey guys, just popping in to say great job so far! But a quick questions or suggestion: Do you think you could rename the replays to be more easily defined? I can only find two matches from Brad and I can't find some other matches as there are replays with the names of the actual map and not the players in them... Thanks for doing this tournament and hopefully I can participate in the next one!

Brad needs to learn to push....he had that ENTIRE game down, his first 5 minutes were flawless.  He couldve easily one.  He's way to passive and underestimates just how strong a single protoss unit is.  A single Zeolot can take out 4 lings with ease, his units could've ended the match quick. "

sooo harris wen we gunna finish this shit up 

" @kishan6: The next tournament day will be next Saturday, same time, same place. However, you can always play matches during the week if you can get your opponent to do so. Just upload the replay and shoot me a PM.  "

Great to see the brackets and tourny is moving along. Couldn't join this time because of an exam, but looking forward to the next one. I'll keep my eye out for the next tournament.

Anyway I can forfit and let my brother replace me?  I think I'll just stick to Commentary as I no have a channel on TeamLiquid, and enjoy the e-sport scene much more...rather than playing.  Plus, we all know all I will play on SC2 is the next-gen DotA map.  >.> "

Dang, This looks like a lot of fun, to bad I missed out!
 
We should have someone start shoutcasting these games, that would be a good addition to the GB community

 Being too timid about pushing is my #1 problem in this game, it never feels like I have a big enough army to go in, or I always imagine they have more units hanging out in their base than they actually do. Giving the other guy too much time to tech and macro is why I lose 80% of the games I lose. Hard to get out of that habit. "

Missed the saturday match : (
what can I do to redeem myself 
 
DoE.dante
