There is Top 8. You can make your own judgement on the commentary.
I just watched it, and honestly, I enjoyed it over all. The commentary did change up in the top 3 but the pace of the matches changed as well. They still covered some technical data but kept the hype too. There was a lot of counter hits and Mateo's performance was savage, i could not of said it better myself.
I think some comments might of been taken the wrong way. Hearing the commentators say things like "I lost cause I don't play this game" may seem a little salty but I also see it as self deprecating humor. Their trash talk is just how they do things. I heard my fair share when I was there but I never felt disrespected.
However, I did not like the complaining about the patch changes. Seriously, you guys should be over that buy now. And i agree with Sluch, a major tournament stream is probably not the place to express that opinion and probably not the best way to hype up the event so that people watching will come to the next one.
As far as Adonis' comments about the turn out, I can understand his frustration. Having a major tournament with a $1k pot bonus and having only 30 people enter is what it is. Though he probably could of expressed himself in a more appropriate way, the point was more people should of came out. I agree, but though the numbers were not there, the quality of players were there.

This was my first trip to The D and I would very much like to go back for future tournaments. I understand the economy there has suffered but the people and places that are still around are the gems that make the city. Saturday night I went out with my friends to some of the local bars and all 5 of us got a free shot from a waitress. We ended the night dancing at the Youmacon rave. Sunday morning we found a local diner that served us a huge amount of delicious food for a cheep and went on to have a good day of finals. Whatever reason the rest of the community had for missing out on this tournament, I think you guys may have made the wrong decision.
C.O.R.N.: You guys are the foundation of a great fighting game community. You may not be at the top of the tournament results now but you all have everything you need to get there in the future. Stick with each other. Push each others limits. Help each other get better. Look forward to seeing you guys at future tournaments.
AR15: Great match. Some might say the match of the tournament(I would). Had it been 2/3 you would have placed 3rd but it was 3/5 and i noticed your tendencies faster than you noticed mine. But man, when you land a combo, that's the round. Hope you make it out to more tournaments. GG
LP: I came after you, because I knew i had to beat you to get that money. I look forward to our next match. It was fun to hang out with you all weekend. GG
Hawkeye: You were fun to hang out with too. I heard you could dance, but I am glad i got to see it for myself. Your Natsu is inspiring. Good job taking 2nd.
Sluch: Tough draw not making top 8 but good job in Tekken. I enjoyed the car ride conversation and I will take your advice on my game and most likely any future advice as well. See you at the next one. GG
Mateo: What a weekend. Great job
I don't know how to fight against Natsu, Algol or Mateo but I had a lot of fun playing my best.
