There's a typo in the map pool, I suppose you meant Round 1 & 2.

[Aki1024]

We played with the assumption that map pool for R3 and R4 were R1 and R2. We are not showing up next week due to Super Bowl.

[Slender]

Round 1 ZroG 0-2 <X
Round 2 <X 2-0 {arr}

ez

also, super bowl.

[Fartface]

The super bowl starts 4.5 hours after your game with bbq starts. Isn't that enough time to play at least one bo3/bo5? Are we really gonna make ball wait 5 weeks?

[Clam]

>only watching the actual football game

[Slender]

Most of us have plans for that day and BBQ won't play us today, which would be way more convenient for everyone.

Full day social event. Game may start that long after SL's start time, but people gather long before then.

[JWhatever]

So play on Saturday?

Just sayin'

We were going to propose that but BBQ doesn't seem to be open on any suggestion.

[Clapon]

cant make sunday, saturday might be possible depending on rest of team

[ufo]

i can show saturday

[Aki1024]

Saturday g2g

[Cracker]

I personally can't do saturday evening but idk for the rest of the team. What about 1 or 2 hours earlier on either saturday or sunday? Since I think most euro's have plans on Saturday evenings..

[sunshineduck]

super bowl is the MURCA equivalent of the world cup final unfortunately, possibly even more so as we eat more and therefore have to spend even more of the day cooking snacks to stuff our fat faces with. i'm sorry 3v

[Threevenge]

No worries from me. I expected this to happen.

[Threevenge]

If the quarter-finals and semi-finals are going to be played this weekend I'm volunteering my services as a commentator. There seems to be some interest in me trying that again and I enjoyed it last time.

On a side note, uploaded some scans of notes I took for the commentary on the BBQ/Vlix Finals two SL seasons ago as well as a scouting report I had on r87 and Vlix a while back, think it was the same season. Here's a link for those interested. I apologize for the poor quality.

Well, I had a pretty large scouting report for Vlix in the finals last season; mata and I watched quite a few matches together and talked through what we saw in preparation for that one. Unfortunately, it was mostly about how we could minimalize fart's randa and his schedule didn't allow him to play. Not sure if I still have that report somewhere or not.

For the most part the scouting reports are more of a mental preparation for me. They remind me of things the team wants or should adjust to play better. Every once in a while though I find something that I do think makes a difference in map choice.

I do plan on doing some commentary on Sunday, maybe I can talk a bit more on what I look for? I know it was more about stats I commentated last time, this time I'll focus more on the match itself.

BBQ, {ball} has to postpone the finals a week, sorry for the inconvenience but it wouldn't be an altitude league if more and more delays didn't keep coming up heh. None of our 3 capts can attend, tried to get you this notice as quick as possible so there was no confusion.

[Mr Nice]

its alright for me

[TwistedCookie]

Thank you for recording and uploading and ofcourse the commentators, its always nice to have it.
Are the semi final games come with a built in commentary ?

[Dougie]

Thanks for recording and uploading Vanishing! Don't think I provided anything insightful during the commentaries (my recent knowledge of teams in SL9 was not too great!), but it was fun doing it alongside 3V and also Ball'n for the last game.

ggs though, especially the BBQ v Vlix match.

[lakospeter91]

Thanks, Vanishing! Good job commentating as well, I liked that there were less talk about stats and more about the game itself.
