As usual the scheduled cast of the GMC Round of 8 clashes with a few other events, thus finding a caster is hard. So the cast won't be happening tonight or this weekend. I don't think there are any events on Monday, but as i write this someone is probably planning to run something :P.
So the cast will be on Monday at this stage with the grand finals occuring on Sunday the 19th.

At this point, I would like to especially mention a player who impressed me much throughout the tournament with his dedication and good will. It had been fun to have him around.
In round of 44, he was the first to finish all his games way ahead of most players. He much inspired the groups he was in during his round of 44 and later round 16 and 8 to always complete way ahead of everyone else. I haven't seen him bm or badmouth anyone but was always cheerful and positive.
Even towards the end (finals), he remained an enthusiastic participant and m surprised and I was much touched, at other noble acts shown to his fellow participants.
So awarding this special #dedication award to...
