Since nobody is doing for me, welp, I'm watching every game of this tournament in order and trying to rate them. So everyone can decide which one to watch or maybe cast. This is what I've done so far.

@s_soulreaver Thank you very much

S_SoulReaver

@karateka You're welcome!

I always wanted to help the TADemoRecorder site back in the day. As they weren't reviewing replays as fast as I was watching them. It's really nice to finally be able to help the community somehow.

StormLantern vs Unknow

1	#21279747	Syrtis Major 10x10	Cybran vs Cybran	18m36	R8.0	It was a close game, but one side plays solid and eco up, the other risk it all going to tech 3, who will win?

Praetors- vs Paradox (Paradox_of_War)

1	#21279620	Syrtis Major 10x10	Sera vs Uef	10m59	R8.0	Despite the big rating gap, it was a fairly close game until sudden throw.

Riot (batya-) vs FFF

1	#21279754	Syrtis Major 10x10	Uef vs Sera	17m38	R9.0	Jebaited (?) It was a nice back and forth game with big eco development and units until then, hard to predict the winner.

Robogear vs Altf4

1	#21279711	Syrtis Major 10x10	Sera vs Sera	13m32	R7.0	Slower pace game that ends in a premature sudden tie.
1b	#21279847	Syrtis Major 10x10	Sera vs Sera	16m16	R8.5	Back and forth thriller.

Lower Bracket Round 1

Paradox (Paradox_of_War) vs Riot (batya-)

1	#21279988	Twin Rivers 10x10	Uef vs Uef	20m16	R9.5	Oh man, what a nail-biting BO1 elimination game, from start to finish.

Upper Bracker Round 2 - Best of 3

Lunyshko vs Storm Lantern
Praetors- vs FFF
Blast Chilled vs Robogear
TheWreck vs SilentNoob

Lunyshko vs Storm Lantern

1	#21279953	Twin Rivers 10x10	Sera vs Cybran	13m11	R9.0	What looked like was going to be a quick game turned back around in a very action packed battle with a surprising end.
2	#21280182	Twin Rivers 10x10	Sera vs Cybran	19m27	R9.5	Close hard fought game until the very end.
3	#21280402	Norfair 20x20	Sera vs Cybran	12m17	R8.0	Great battle, silly throw.

Praetors- vs FFF

1	#21279968	Twin Rivers 10x10	Sera vs Sera	13m14	R6.0	Long time with both armies just looking at each other, then a very quick ending.
2	#21280186	Norfair 20x20	Uef vs Aeon	10m08	R8.5	Guetto gunships ftw!
3	#21280374	Firelight 5x5	Uef vs Cybran	08m08	R8.0	Some nice battles and some back and forth action for a quick 5x5 map game.

Blast Chilled (God_of_Roadkill) vs Robogear

1	#21280050	Twin Rivers 10x10	Aeon vs Sera	34m08	R9.0	Epic T3 galore game on Twin Rivers and some sneaky sneaky drops.
2	#21280378	Norfair 20x20	Sera vs Sera	1h03m39	R9.0	Epic ending, epic battles, lots of back and forth action on both fronts and the islands, very unpredictable, but it dragged way too much. Both players might be worn out after 2 long gruesome battles, and everything on the line.... But business do picks up again near the end big time.

TheWreck vs SilentNoob

1	#21279835	Twin Rivers 10x10	Sera vs Uef	19m42	R9.0	Fiery non-stop battle once it gets going.
2	#21280029	Norfair 20x20	Aeon vs Uef	20m06	R8.0	Close game, lots of smaller battles, then big stalemate, then big, risky move that backfires dearly (by the player who could risk after winning game 1...).
3	#21280197	Firelight 5x5	Sera vs Cybran	08m19	R7.0	Fierce battle that ends in a tie.
4	#21280276	Firelight 5x5	Sera vs Cybran	20m35	R9.5!!!	If the tournament is Legends of the Stars, this was Dancing With the Stars. The game of hunter becoming the prey. Again and again. Both CMD had more than 100 kills by the and neither even got a gun upgrade!
