The music in the breaks was so bad.
$200000 tournament and you pick world worst music.
I think they should just pick different GW2 music pieces in the breaks

Congratz to Denial for their 2nd tournament in a row. Really dominating!
Don’t know if it was only me but in-game sequences were blurry until Astral Authority matches. Then it got better.
Commentary was good, I like when they have pro players as guests. Sindrenerr insight was nice. I appreciated the use of the free cam.
Congratulation to Denial Esport, in my opinion they really seemed a league higher than the others.
Was pretty good all in all.
All the necro downstates did crack me up though.
This is the first time I haven’t turned off the tournament and wandered away. Good commentary except for the teeth grinding repetition of “surely” and “boys” or “guys.”
The break time music was a really bad choice.
Helseth sounds a lot like an Early Arnold Schwartzeneger. Amazing performance, Denial Esport.
It was a nice stream except for the break music between games, really terrible and for the new map preview tech issue.
GG Denial, best team for sure, a nearly perfect gameplay, and very good performance from VM, with same little changes (Engi + necro combo is not really good) can be better.
Sind best commentary boy since forever.
All I can say is that Argi was good on scrapper engie. Judging by what I read on twitch chat, he also has a lot of fans.
I love the quality entertainment and cheap lafffs from twitch chat. Wish those guys would comment on the forum

I loved seeing the gameplay built on playstyle rather than “this is the meta and I have to do this like this and cannot deviate from it in the slightest”. Sure, the thief picks on certain match-ups came off as “this team isn’t taking this even seriously” (Twitch chat sure joked about the Thief picks and glamouring), but overall the R55 game 3 and 4 were top notch.
Only gripe about the event is that both casters and players interviewed was like reading the toxic PvP mapchat aloud. You’d think at a “professional” level there would be some hint of sportsmanship outside just shaking each-others hand after a win/loss.
Congrats to denial! I think it was a great tournament and was very exciting to watch. The thing that stood out to me was whenever someone died in a fight (usually the necro) there would almost always be a portal to the home point that the 4 remaining members took to regroup. That is a very different playstyle that I really didn’t expect.
While there were no really hype games (rank 55 vs. Denial game 4 was good but if you looked at the time with about 1 minute left you would have known that it was impossible for 55 to win) a lot of them were fairly close and 3/5 matches involved teams taking games off each other which is great because it shows that they are all around a similar skill level.
Can’t wait to see what events there will be next year!

This is because sustain/res power is to high, and the ability for classes to be in the comp to take down/eliminate opponents can’t exist.
It was almost kind of dumb watching it play out as a team deathmatch. You expect conquest to have fights focused on the points. Instead it was all off point fighting XD
I’m completely and utterly shocked how you people aren’t anywhere near or even remotely close to discussing the most important thing about this past WTS:
Magic Toker’s haircut > Phantaram’s haircut > everyone else’s haircut
How can you people even think about the dubstep with such beautiful hair to discuss?
