Sorry for the lack of videos being uploaded or any news. But finally, beter late than never:

I lost a ton of time trying to find a way to remove the background noise and later on how to do it in a batch production mode. Still not quite done on finding all the best ways to get the best audio/image quality while loosing the less amount of time working on it, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel already.

Meanwhile, I used a batch or two of games that I recorded here to try all kinds of stuff. So the quality (specially of the audio) will change from one game to another, as I'm also a noob caster on some aspects, but I'm really happy to where I'm getting now and whatever next thing I'll do will be way better. Sorry for not doing the test any other way, just don't have that time at the moment.

I'm about to get some free time in the upcoming days, hopefully I can finish this tournament. Sorry for not being able to cast all the games in the same way, as I can't always be in the best situation to speak freelly or have the time to cast all the games. But at least i'm doing it and not just imagining how it would be if it was done......

Updated the first post with all the uploaded videos, up to H. Game O still need to upload. Already recorded and encoded first 4/5 of the Round 1 of the elimination. So those hopefully also gets uploaded soon. I can only leave the PC uploading after 2 in the morning, so this will take some time....

CodingSquirrel x Mapleloops 3913511
HunterAntonescu x Smithy Game not found
Bullydozer x OverLord_ 3913540

Those 3 games are on the channel already, just can't update this tread from where I'm at right now.

Mapleloops
I made some criticism comments, but more for the one that lost the game, as I can't remember the best patterns for each map by memory, I can only compare each player so far. One day I'll get that on my mind, hopefully. But there's the Speed tread with a lot of good tips and the replay analisis tread with some huge feedback from great players. Check that out.

Ah, ok, thanks for the info. I'll cast all the round anyway, just to get those who showed up some air time.

And to finish it since I started.....

There was one round of the swiss bracket, and it didn't count for anything. After the first round everything was wiped clean and it changed to elimination.

There is a problem though, I only have a screen shot with the round 1 of the pairings, I have no idea who played who after that, anyone has a way of getting that info for me? After round 1 I only have the elimination brackets. Anyway, the swiss tourney part had some influence on the brackets? How many rounds of the swiss brackets were done after all?

Yeah, don't worry, I'll cast all the games in order. Not sure about the criticism thoug. My 1x1 rating is 620 and falling.

For instance, I only played on Syrtis Major once so far. But I'll get there, I love learning by watching, either mine or others replays... Then practicing 10 times on the same map against the AI.

Looking forward to the rest of the casts from the noob tourney I know that CodingSquirrel requesting that you don't cast his first game on Syrtis Major (against me), but I have to request the opposite and hope that you do cast it. I could really use the constructive criticism from another persons perspective in order to improve in FAF.

If anyone wants a review of their replay for mistakes feel free to msg me on forums or in faf.

If you're planning on doing more casts for the first round don't cast mine. It's pretty bad.

My second match on Theta Passage was much more interesting in my opinion.

That's alright man, the most important it's go out and play, if you don't do that, you already lost it.

Updated the first post with the cast that I've made. I decided to do at least the first 4. But I have no idea if and when I will be able to finish all. Real life if busy right now.

I know I made loads of mistakes but my second round encounter on Theta was interesting. My opponent watched the game on super slow mode and still can't figure out how it wasn't a draw.

Don't expect too much though, noob tournament and all :p

Despite missing the start of the tournament, by any means I don't want to be part of this. So I'll try to hang around the replay tabs and get the replay ID's for future watching and casting. It should be fun to see how all different newbie tatics come out and who will thrive and how. I still need to cast most of the last tournament that I did this, so I probably won't cast more than a half-dozen here before finishing the other. But the intention remains....

The players and their ladder ratings (from the start of the last 1x1 ladder replay I found)
Rayoner 407
Chili_Das_Schaf 950 (Only 5 ladder games, last one in may, lot's of FAF games ever since)
Arrowsmith 1007

I'll stop updating this, as I will just spoil a lot of who is going to win.....
