Firstly, great move taking Kelly and Corino off commentary. They are atrocious!

Really looking forward to both tournaments, the fields are stacked!

Awesome start man.

[maddog1981]

I knew I wanted Ultramantis Black doing color commentary. I did struggle with who the play by play guy would be before settling on bringing Prazak back. I can't stand Kelly and Corino on commentary.
