The main goal of me doing it though was to encourage players to want to play on stream and thus reduce downtime when casting seacraft events. So far i have awarded the bonus prize it 4 times. We could do it for the most exciting match every week, but tbh, most of the time we get pretty "standard" play which albeit is good, is also unexceptional. i do plan on continuing to offer my bonus prize for SEACraft events but it will continue to be meager in size as i can't afford to put in any extra.

I think the idea of doing it every now and then is better then EVERY WEEK...as you said most game-play is standard. not that we don't like standard, but standard doesn't necessarily mean the most entertaining. Of course there have been games that you've casted which have been long drawn out Macro standard games that have won the prize...so its not inconceivable.

I did like, despite initial complaints from myself of not being informed, Tony's co-casting. If you feel comfortable with that maybe we can implement that more. especially since it gets super late for you and doing the co-casting and observing can be hella tiring. Just an idea, maybe we could test it out for SEAcraft Melee.

Yea, the macro games which i have awarded it to, Eg spear vs pig for example, always had something that made the game exceptional and stand out (3/3 bio transitioning into mech... thats something you never see lol :P)

Yea, With co casting, i tend to organise that on the fly and often forget to inform you about it lol. It keeps the SEACraft casting fresh and i often will cast (if i do decide to co cast) with people on the spot, eg like how chadman would jump in a bit last year for the semi's / finals which worked out quite nicely having a fresh zerg perspective casting zvx match ups. Def something we can try out and experiment with though
