Hopefully this works out with better communication than the last one.

Sorry that I haven't posted anything yet but I had terrible pains yesterday and writing is exhausting for me.

Well what should I say: Stormless and A_E basicly summorized what was our intention with the Open-Letter: What happenend on Sunday should never happen again and I think that was my first thought. As a TO you have the FULL responsibility what happens. People are critizing you at first if anything goes wrong and as A_E mentionend its not always a pleasant job. With all that one of the "priviledge" as a TO is that you decide things. That starts with the name of the Tournament, Format etc. And aswell who casts the games. When I decided to organize this Tournament Me and my 2nd Admin FAHU we both agreed that Stormless, A_E and Romeo are the Best Caster for this Tournament. I thank all 3 of you for your hard work! and everybody else of course

I'm sorry Hans that youz think that our intention was to make a Witch Hunt against you. I say this now loud and clear: IT WAS NOT OUR INTENTION! What you did last Sunday was wrong! You had not the right to cast any of the games on Sunday without asking me! If you see this otherwise then go for a sec into yourself imagine me sitting infront of you and look me in the eyes and repeat that you think you have done nothing wrong.

I don't think you quite understand what you are suggesting. You would have the organizers remove one of the core pillars of the GCS experience for the sake of "tech". Having this big live event separates it from all other tournaments. I will admit that the situation prevented a few fantastic players from participating like Noggano, but the end result was worth it.

There is no doubt it is expensive to pay for air fares, but the community managed to make it happen irregardless. You're right that players should be forward thinking in prepping for travel to another country, but the onus shouldn't be on them to guarantee it happens. The biggest thing players should be responsible for is keeping their passport up to date.

Experience from GCS will also help smooth the organization and production immensely. A go fund me page would be redundant to the community donation pool as people should already understand that part of the money will be spent on travel for the finalists.
