GP Kyoto discussion

[Barook]

So how many Sourcers travelled to Japan to play there?

And has anybody a link for the stream?

[Julian23]

Kai (Swasitrix...or something; sorry I'm bad with names) is there playing Storm.

He also recently moved from Berlin to Japan to work for a card shop full time. He said the stream would be somewhere on http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv216710139 (http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv216710139)

[Barook]

Appearently, if you don't have a premium account, the stream stops every 1-2 minutes or so for premium advertisement. :mad:

[theBloody]

This is the worst stream I have ever seen in my life.

[iamajellydonut]

Fucking... I'm still stuck in the labyrinth of "high-quality correspondence".

[Ellomdian]

Yeah, this is awful. I especially like getting booted every 30 secs and having to refresh.

Sad times, anyone know if there is another stream of the event? Twitch?

Here's the stream FYI (http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv216710139)

[P.S.]

Aren't they just going to have a version on Twitch? This is disheartening. :frown:

I think if you fullscreen it, it screws up the ad-thing.

[P.S.]

I don't want to have to use Google Chrome to Translate into English because I'll lose my Ad-Block+ and I don't want to sign-up for the website just to watch it. #Lazy :laugh:

I'm disappointed they couldn't send an English coverage team there.

The Twitch restream is okay, but I'm annoyed that the NicoNico comments on the screen aren't disabled.

Edit: Now the restream got nuked by ads as well.

I`ll disable them tonight for Day 2 coverage.
Thanks for the feedback.

[Julian23]

When is the stream gonna start? I thought Day2 was already underway.

[Julian23]

Restreaming on twitch.tv/itsJulian (http://twitch.tv/itsJulian)

[Lord Seth]

Restreaming on twitch.tv/itsJulian (http://twitch.tv/itsJulian)Thanks. This also will result in the stream actually being saved somewhere we can watch; Nico Video only lets you watch streams after the fact with a premium subscription.

Little kid took his time to fall asleep.
Thanks a lot for doing that Julian. Fellow Twitchers deserve to watch it.

[Quasim0ff]

It's pretty incredible, that Wizards let the Japanese Gp's have this bad of coverage.

Thanks for restreams!

[Megadeus]

Any idea as to what is at the top tables right now? I saw miracles and fish.

[Philipp2293]

According to the breakdown the biggest decks are Delver Variants, Omnishow, Miracles and Elves. Sawatarix (Kai Thiele) has a good shot at Top 8, currently 11th place in the standings.

Apparently he's in.

[snorlaxcom]

Why is 50% of the stream just talking at the booth? Did they not queue enough matches? Are the commentators of note in any way? The sound effects add nothing to the broadcast. They must not care about presenting professionalism or have never seen a well produced event.

[Quasim0ff]

Anyone have any information about Grixis Delver, which looks to be larger than BUG?

[Philipp2293]

Maybe the source will soon have a GP winner posting, Kai seems to be at least in the semifinals :)

Those Miracle lists are SO strange.

You can find complete video-coverage for Day 2 of GP Kyoto on my YouTube channel. For the Semifinals + Finals we also provided English commentary:

Danke Julian, this stuff deserves to be seen.

[nedleeds]

The GP was a miserable watch, but the artist interviews had me on the floor dying laughing.

Something is definitely wrong with that list. Monastery Mentor without white sources?

Just checked wotc, it's Monastery Swiftspear.

One of the commentators was Tsuyoshi Fujita. Their commentary was solid during the Omni mirror match that I caught. They were also getting on Murakami for his play errors in g1 of the finals. Personally, I preferred Julian's commentary of the semis :-)

I'm not sure which sound effects you mean, but including strange effects is a part of TV culture here.

At the event there were two tables chained off for feature matches. One of them had a camera crew at work. My guess is that if the main match ended early they would move the back-up match to that table...? I never saw it happen and don't know what is usual at large events.

As far as nicovideo goes, I was able to watch for a stretch on the train home without advertisements or interruptions. It wasn't until the later rounds of top 8 that I started getting booted in favor of premium users. There's an option to stop the comments flashing across the screen.
