Dear L_Master, wins/losses in BW aren't determined by how many minerals you are banking. I'm not sure I'm on record as saying they are.

There is a reason that newer players are told above all else to focus on macro. If you have 2x or 3x the stuff of the other player you're going to be able to win almost always, regardless of the strategy. The timing of when a player ends up with lots of excess resources can also have a big effect. If someone banks 1.5k right before they were to get 8 gated in TvP that could have disastrous consequences. If it happened during the battle after they had primarily held and they causally added a few more facts and got that money back down it would probably have a negligible effect...even if it wouldn't be optimally efficient. Well, "Eric Morgan" is on record for talking shit, saying things like "I do not understand how Sentenal ever wins", because I'm always "banking craazy sums every game", and have "D- Macro". Just saying, how much you have in your bank doesn't determine who wins. It doesn't help your reputation that you are the king of 2 gate lol. I think that combined with the banking creates a pretty clear foundation for such presumptions. Presumptions like how I was going to get "DESTROYED" in the Ro16?

So, is anyone going to stream the reps? I'll be happy to do it myself tomorrow if someone gives me the reps and if someone wants to cocast.

I will be casting tomorrow, was planning to today but there won't be enough time (damn you 8ams!). Pebble has his reps, though I'm not sure when he will be casting; but I'd assume tomorrow or tonight.

Usually D ranks events don't qualify as calendar worthy, though historically finals and semi-finals have been approved for calenderation.

Games were played but we're waiting on cast or something. I got the replays for the last set, and I'll cast them Friday ~8pm EST. I'll try to make a calendar submission and maybe hope it gets approved in time for now.
