    Yeah, GSL's finals are somehow always terrible. I have no idea how that keeps happening, honestly. It's really bizarre. Still, it has a lot of great matches, even in Code A now. GSTL is also really fucking good.

    EDIT: Oh hey, a Korean lost! How rare.
    Ahahahah, they weren't prepared to translate for Sen. Incredible.

    Who watched the NASL match just now - Sen vs MC?

    One of the best ZvP series I've seen.


    I remember wondering in the MC vs July match in GSL final as to what would be the best way to fight off MC's mass forcefield play. Baneling drops seem to work amazingly.

    The last two games were so back and forth - it was really hard to tell who was gonna win. Super close the whole way through. I think Sen made a few mistakes in his unit control that pretty much lost him the last game (a lot of wasted units), and in the second last game going too Broodlord heavy was what made him lose.

    Loved the way Sen fought back MC's early void ray and phoenix harass too. Both games had them doing very little damage. I love his transfuse on that Overlord too.

    Sen has the right ideas, just needs to polish his play up a bit I think.


    I think the fact these Code S GSL players are willing to go to North America to compete in an American competition should show that Starcraft 2 *is* starting to take off in America. 2 years ago, I don't think any successful professional Starcraft 1 player would really go off to North America for a competition.

    Give it a bit more, and you'll start getting similar levels of sponsors, money in competitions, etc to start justifying Americans training full time.

    I just wish my stream didn't keep skipping. It was almost a slideshow, basically unwatchable. =|

    That was one of the reasons I stopped watching in the first place.

    Oh God Sen. He tried so hard.


    So now I'm having a hard time deciding who to cheer for in the finals. The guy who threw down Manner Mules (and showed some niceness when the crowd cheered for him) or the arrogant, smug dude (who isn't always a dick).

    Damn near everyone throws down Manner Mules. I have to root for PuMa though because I just don't want to see Protoss win anything.

    Sen will have better people to practice against now. This will be a good thing.

    Wish they would just allow you to switch regions whenever though. ALL regions even.

    Oh God dammit. Sheth is going to have some troubles.

    I believe in him, though. <3 Sheth.

    It's too bad Sheth isn't returning to Korea. He was FXO's best bet for winning games in the GSTL.

    Sheth has the easiest group, basically. Unless the open bracket winner winds up being like...Polt or something. Even then, Sheth is a Zerg so it's not the worst possible thing.

    I feel bad for the dudes in group A. DongRaeGu is fucking insane.

    I might also be planning on going, assuming I have my own car by then. We should meet up, assuming there are enough of us.

    Some folks here probably use GOM TV to watch the GSL.

    Bad news, folks, GOM has been hacked and some accounts have been compromised. Passwords were stored in plain text.

    There's also a good chance that the hackers have your PayPal name/information if you bought league passes from GOM.

    Yeah, got the email from them.

    It's almost good in a way. I mean, I keep meaning to change my passwords for the past 4 years but always end up forgetting whenever I have free time.

    This finally gave me the incentive to do it since well, I was retardedly using a 8 year old password that is used on *everything* - from my Windows login, work computers, DLP, to shadier and crappier forums/sites, to my bank account, Paypal, Comsec trading account, etc. >_>

    Not anymore though! XD
