huk

[Zzoram]

Hopefully Naniwa makes it out of whatever group he gets.

[TheExodu5]

I still don't understand why Tastosis don't cast more games than they do. Why do they need a separate team casting both Code A and GSTL? :(

[ultron87]

Checking in before I fall irrevocably behind in terms of keeping up with VODs until the finals. Hoping for another great season.

One pony is too many.

[Yoshichan]

An OT has never been as accurate as this one.

Good job Corran. Zerg is indeed OP.

[Cipherr]

Its been a while since I watched, but I fucking LOVE the countdown timer on the website now that shows how long until the next broadcast lol. I could never manage the timezones.

[Pancakes]

HuK and Naniwa FIGHTING!

[ultron87]

Oh yeah, if anyone wants a five dollar off coupon for the season GOM sent me one that I won't be using that I can send to someone else. So, PM me or something.

[Hazaro]

More like Protoss is OP.

I still don't understand why Tastosis don't cast more games than they do. Why do they need a separate team casting both Code A and GSTL? :(

No passion. Too busy watching BW.

[Dynamic3]

Informative OP, thanks.

Come on Huk, let's get back in S.

[Vaporak]

I still don't understand why Tastosis don't cast more games than they do. Why do they need a separate team casting both Code A and GSTL? :(

I'll admit that I watch less and pay less now that Tastosis aren't the only casters. This last code S was awesome though so I'm thinking about getting a ticket for this next one.

[Corran Horn]

I still don't understand why Tastosis don't cast more games than they do. Why do they need a separate team casting both Code A and GSTL? :(

Wish they would just cast some GSTL. Like how when they casted one day a week of GSTL.

[Vaporak]

Coupon huh, I just checked my email and I seem to have something like that to. My normal email addresses don't work for some reason with GOM so I had to make a yahoo account that I never check. I'll definitely buy the next season now that it's back down to $10.

[hamchan]

The amount of money I want to pay for GSL correlates with how much Tastosis casts.

Anyways, I wonder how many Terrans will get knocked out this season.

[Zzoram]

I still don't understand why Tastosis don't cast more games than they do. Why do they need a separate team casting both Code A and GSTL? :(

Ya I have no idea what's going on.

Wolf, Khaldor, and Moletrap handle both Code A and GSTL while Tastetosis only do Code S and MLG.

Mr. Bitter and dApollo seem to do all the IEMs.

[Zzoram]

Actually the $5 off coupon only works for annual tickets I think.

At this point it's not worth it, since buying the remaining 4 seasons individually is cheaper than buying an annual ticket with $5 off, unless you really care about having Season 1 as well.

Mine says:

- Restrictions : Valid for GSL or GSTL Season and Yearly tickets (not for Monthly Subscriptions)

So that sounds like you could just get Season 2 with it.

How do the monthly subscriptions even work? Do you even get VODs once your month is up?

The $5 coupon works on all tickets. You can get Season 2(or if you already bought season 2 then season 3/4/5) for $10 if you use coupon + light ticket.

[Zzoram]

zomg I read my coupon wrong, it doesn't work with monthly but you can buy individual seasons.

I'm going to buy Season 2 with it. Naniwerrrrrrrrrrrrr



Does the coupon only work once or does it stack? Or can I use it for Season 2/3/4/5 and get $5 off each of them?

[Kiyo]

Only one time use. Expires next month, so anyone who doesn't want theirs feel free to send me one :)

[Aaron]

The wolftrap has begun for the night.

[Tacitus_]

Hopefully Naniwa makes it out of whatever group he gets.

Gonna wash out with zero wins again.
Believe.

[Mairu]

I'd like to see Naniwa do well but I'm not terribly optimistic since it seems like PvZ is his best matchup and Code S is pretty T/P heavy

as long as he does better than Huk I'll be pleased

[Aaron]

Maru blew this by not expanding behind his contain.

[cdyhybrid]

Rooting for Bumblebee and TheStC! I don't see JYP getting out of this group, PvT is his worst matchup right?

Edit: =| @ that game

[Zzoram]

Bumblebee was SO bad.

Why did he let 30 lings die to get 1 pylon.

[Aaron]

sC vs STC should be great. Fight of the almost same names.

[Zzoram]

JYP should slaughter Bumblebee if his decision making remains awful.

JYP is going to Code A though, no way he beats 3 Terrans.

[Tacitus_]

Nice hold from sC.

[cdyhybrid]

Woot TheStC. sC looks like he's not feeling well :(

[Cipherr]

What the hell, Moletrap is still casting? Wow, I sort of weathered a break from GSL expecting the casters to rotate, this guy is still here?

I havent seen much of anything but loathing for this guy, why is he still around.

[bbyybb]

Didn't sC have multiple collapsed lung incidents?

[cdyhybrid]

What the hell, Moletrap is still casting? Wow, I sort of weathered a break from GSL expecting the casters to rotate, this guy is still here? I havent seen much of anything but loathing for this guy, why is he still around.

He's been better recently honestly. His game knowledge seems a bit lacking at times (although I could say that for 95% of the casters out there) but he's getting better at meshing with Wolf and he thankfully doesn't scream anymore at big moments. Happy now farnham? :P

Didn't sC have multiple collapsed lung incidents?

Yep. Worrisome that he's pounding his chest and coughing...although who knows, maybe it's normal while recovering from something like that.

Bumblebee what are you doing? ;-;

[Tacitus_]

Bumblebee is going to go 0-4. So embarrassing.

[Aaron]

I also got the $5 discount code. If someone wants it, shoot me a PM.

Edit: And taken by Tacitus_

[TheThunder]

I also don't need my $5 coupon btw, so if anyone wants it just ask.

[Tacitus_]

Bumblebee... smh

[bbyybb]

Bumblebee... smh

He is so terrible, how he got this far is baffling.

[Aaron]

Major FF fail by Alicia there.

Sweet, sC is still in it.

[Tacitus_]

How on earth did Bumblebee make it to up/downs? His play belongs in GSL Open S1.

[bbyybb]

Now if JYP wins his last game versus Maru, then we will have a really wacky tie situation coming up.

[Aaron]

Man is JYP bad against terran. It's sad, but fitting of an EG player.

[Tacitus_]

Alicia must be feeling crushed now. He almost had code S and now he's on the verge of having to play in code A.

[cdyhybrid]

Man is JYP bad against terran. It's sad, but fitting of an EG player.

Aren't all the EG guys in the SlayerS house? How can he be bad against Terran? :p

[Hazaro]

Reminder:

[GSL] 2012 Season 2 Up/Down Matches Day 4

Killer
Virus
Fin
Lucky
Brown
HuK

in 15h30m from this post

[Aaron]

Killer killed it. Odd strat, but good against lousy terran.

[bbyybb]

Well done from Killer, hope he does well tonight.

[Zzoram]

Killer killed it. Odd strat, but good against lousy terran.

I sometimes go chargelot templar against Terran. It's a really low apm strategy.



Lucky kinda looks like ZerO.

[Aaron]

Insert sarcastic mention of LAN here.

I voted for Lucky and Brown, though I don't expect either to get out of this group. Lucky might now.
