[EveGaming]

For those of you who didn't know, our tournament happened today, and JUST ended with some really cool matches. We'd like to also take a bit of this thread to congratulate the finalists, with ST_KingKong coming first, PiG second, and Yekke and IrisPetraeus coming 3rd and 4th.

Of course, I'd like to share some success and some conflicts that we have had in our first go at organizing this tournament. To begin with, our admin team, EveRekanise, EveJaFF, EveSnow, and EveStitch, has been planning this tournament for well over a month with PokerStrategy.com. We cannot express how relieved we are to finally have it run today and to see quite a positive response from everyone. We had well over 25+ players who did not show up, but yet another 20 signed up the midnight before our tournament. The night before we were not featured on TL or SC2SEA, and suddenly we got the admin on TL and Nirvana to save us from that problem. Honestly, one of the hardest things was the streaming. For those of you that did tune in, our streaming service was not from either casters. It was provided by EveSnow (who deserves a honorable mention) for setting up a HQ Stream as Obs today to run everything. We had to set this up 3 weeks prior to launch, and I'm glad to say we saw a lot of positive feedback on the stream quality.

Lastly, of course we'd like to share some of our achievements from today. At the first hour or so, we only had around 100 viewers, towards the middle we got up to 300-400, and in the finals we reached a peak of 513 viewers between PiG and KingKong. It was funny how a lot of viewers suddenly dropped when they heard the SemiFinals & the Finals would be all ZvZ's, but we managed to bring it back up. I'm not sure how many of you were watching, but I hope we provided you a good experience.

Then now to some of the challenges we had to face...
One of the main challenges for us were that Team Eve was never designed to be a group of guys who organized tournaments. We have never done it, and we don't have people in this group who have done something of this sort. We had to learn how to use TL, sc2sea, Twitch and all sorts of things to make today work. In addition to that, we had to research on how to give our viewers a comfortable viewing experience, minimizing our breaks to less than 15 minutes.
Secondly, a big challenge, but yet another great success was the casting archon between Stitch and Flamga. Hopefully surprising, this was the first time they cooperated with each other. We are very pleased to have Flamga come in and cast with us, as he did help the tournament run as smooth as it did.

Of course there are lots to say, but we'd like to cut it short here and leave the rest of the feedback/comments on all of you guys who had a chance to take a look at the future potential of Eve!

On behalf of Team Eve, we are very glad and proud to have contributed to this server for the first time, in a way that we'd never imagine to do so. So please keep supporting us in our future events and tournaments!
