The open bracket was never holding their games for the stream.
I'm pretty damn sure there were players claiming they'd been asked to wait for casters.
And, fwiw, I'm a little disappointed by the 'we can't compete yet so why bother trying' attitude. I don't mind the funny games and a bit of a laugh, but I'm sick of tuning into SEA open tournaments and seeing the few NA/EU viewers assume these two diamond/low masters players are the tip top of SEA competition and laugh at us in stream chat before leaving.
If we can put up good games all day to stop people tuning out, why not? Because we -can- do it. I still think a separate open bracket stream with some of the funny stuff would be great, cause I can watch some of my friends play on that.
But why sacrifice the opportunity to stop everyone in NA blowing off every player in SEA they hear about by showing them no competitive games when they tune in to what some people are calling the biggest esports event in SEA?
