I was wondering has Blizzard commented on the lack of streams for the Contenders Event? I mean they didn't even bother broadcasting all the quarterfinals. This just feels like a poor first showing. It's extremely disappointing that we haven't been able to watch these games. I'm sure there is enough casters to stream the games. Why couldn't they have different times for the matches so there would be casters for the games? Just feels poorly executed.

They are going to remedy it for Season 1

Did they made a public statement, or is this more of Admirable's patented OW cast future-vision?
I'm actually more concerned for the NA matches tomorrow. Although Blizzard hasn't released anything about OW contenders season 1 prize pool, the (very likely off-stream) 5th-8th decider matches between the losers are arguably more consequential than the semifinals / grand finals.
Hope Blizzard surprises me...
I posted this comment on Harsha's editorial. This has already been discussed and explained and honestly nothing more can be done about Season 0. We have to look forward to Season 1 and be critical of that one where needed but for now here you go:
"This is the youtube version of The Overview:

If you haven't had a chance to watch the twitch version please try and see at least one of them. I hope it instills some hope/faith that Season 0 wasn't meant to be what we expected it to be, and that Season 1 is where things really take off.
Not to take anything away from this article because I think it played a big part in them adjusting the schedule, but as they've shown we also don't have line of sight into what goes on behind the scene and realistically this should provide some level of insight on why we didn't get to see we all felt at what we should have.
Note that's about 1:30min long, but well worth it in my opinion.
Happy viewing!"
