I don't take well to demands.

Pandering, too.

Maybe a thank-you letter once in while. Maybe.

But not demands.

Videos should be up either late Sunday or late Monday.

Gotta say, this mAT was 300% better than the last one. 100% for each Dervish not seen on each team.

I don't wanne hate, I appreciate the efforts put in, but I was a little dissappointed with the commentary tbh. Making fun of euros every once a while is cool and all but if you do it 6 months in a row, it gets kinda annoying. Also, getting tired of only getting the american matches commentated before the semi's.

And yes the mAT was alot better, aside from invoke and this 30% flux.

must be the american perception of how HQ commenting looks like. highly representative and highly insightful. amirite?

it would be even more funny if euros were commentating

They aren't professionals and I doubt they are getting paid at all for this, so they have a right to joke around and choose whatever matches to watch they want to. Not to mention the claim about only seeing Americans before semis is false. Every single month you will see at least one euro vs euro match before semis. This month we saw Est vs mojo on Jade in the quarters. I didn't start watching til the end of the first round so I don't know if they watched one then too.

And they make fun of Euros and Americans pretty equally. You probably just notice the Euro ones more. This month just seemed a bit excessive because Trojan was there, and that is just his persona. He seemed to mock WHAT a lot more than any Euros though.

I don't really want to get into an America vs Europe argument in this thread because this isn't what that is for. Just keep in mind the commentators are Americans and will naturally prefer to watch Americans play because they like the play style of Americans more, and they know the players a lot better.

I wouldn't mind it though if a Euro commentator would join them. I remember Ego doing some commentary for some event a while back and it was pretty cool to hear things from a European perspective.

So it is the right for the commentator to joke/criticize people. But it is not the right of the public to criticize the commentator.

Twisted mentality for the win

(you probably dont mean it wrong but watch what your saying, there is freedom of speech for both sides.)

Thanks for the uploads and commentary.

WTB at least 1 euro commentator. Someone who is very familiar with european top players and style.

Apok · Aug 06, 2011, 11:21 PM // 23:21

Matches from the mAT of.... um..... last month can now be found here.

Sorry for the week of waiting, I get very lazy sometimes.

Anyway, enjoy!
