Well would'ja look at that

Or, the PSP folds under pressure of the incontrovertible logic of VFTD. (Not really but it sounds mighty impressive, don't you think?)
What am I talking about? Oh, right. I should probably explain. Thing is a while ago in discussing future webcasts I suggested that it was possible to schedule up to 12 matches per day on the Champions field which meant the league could feature a Challengers match (or two) during the prelims. I split the difference and suggested one per day would be good as it would remind folks of the Challenger action and give the webcast crew the opportunity to keep the audience up to speed on all the Challenger results. It seemed like an obvious move but when I broached the subject directly with the PSP it was categorically rejected--at least for the foreseeable future.
So imagine my surprise when I (finally) got a look at the schedule--what was up with the delay in releasing the schedule this time around, btw?--and there were two Challenger match-ups per day on the Champions field on Friday & Saturday. See the official schedule here. However it happened that the Challengers have been included I think it's a good thing. Except of course when the teams that didn't get a webcast match begin to complain--then all bets are off.

The teams that don't a webcast match scheduled in the prelims got to play one on Sunday at Dallas and are favorites to play on Sunday again at MAO.

if Vicious isn't one of the teams 'featured' on the webcast there's going to be a giant problem.

Makes sense the two top seeds are the ones not featured actually, they have a greater chance at being featured Sunday.

Smart thinking when the choice HAS to be made - they would need 2 more games to feature all (since the top seeds are in opposite divisions).

Anon what's the problem? Vicious failed flat last event and should get no more special treatment than any of the new teams. I'd prefer watching an unknown tbh, versus vicious this event.

Oh wait, obvious bortol is obvious.

Just watching the Storm/XSV game.....Bad news for the older/established teams, you aren't pro because you were pro for years, now you gotta earn it. The challengers Div is definitely gonna weed out the has beens. These newer teams are hungry and want blood...Doubts on vicious advancing
