Coverage and TC Wrap-Up
As you guys already are well aware, this week we began hosting large-scale coverage of the master offsite. You can catch the results, feature matches, interviews and my own wrap-up of the Master by clicking on the link above :)
I'll be covering the coverage side of things in my write-up, but both neosystems and myself are quite interested in your feedback on coverage :)
HuDat on 2009-08-03 03:46 EST I especially liked the round 4 featured match coverage.. I feel that the writer, HuDat, covered everything PERFECTLY.. even though it was his first time doing coverage =]
by
neosystems on 2009-08-03 03:55 EST Top 8 matches to be written very soon. Finals are up already, and I have logs for all the other matches but one. Don't worry. They're coming. ;)
Also, I'm looking for people to help me out with Top 8 coverage. Please PM me on IRC if you're interested.
by
Lynolf on 2009-08-03 08:14 EST I was wondering if you can answer a couple of questions:
- If I submit logs, will you be able to make coverage of the match, whatever the round is?
- What kind of matches will you make coverage about?
- And can I make coverage myself, whether it is a match where I participated or any other, and then send it to you, so you don't have that much work?
GFSS rulles! Pikanso rulles! Doran Rock rulles!!! =D
Joe Master sucks, btw.
Zapgaze did say he was going to top8 again. I'll never doubt of you anymore. Curiously, you top8'ed again with a record of 6-2-0. Good job. ;)

1. Yes.
2. At the moment we're shooting for one feature match per round of the master, plus full top 8 coverage.
3. You can, although we don't want players participating in the master to do coverage because 1) we want to get coverage up quickly and 2) deck techs could mean an unfair advantage for those players
by
neosystems on 2009-08-03 23:24 EST Coverage is now 100% finished. Thanks to the great coverage team for this master: Ameister, brimstone, Duodax, Hawk, HuDat, IvanDano, MT, Roo, ssilver, Truth, and Zerotlr.
