"Help GOM is being crap" Half stolen from TL.

Q: GOM TV stream is lagging for me. What do I do?
A: Pause the stream for a couple of seconds, then click play. If that doesn't work. Close the stream entirely and re-open it. Or blame your ISP.

Q: I'm watching the same stream as everybody else but it seems like I'm behind all the time. What's up?
A: GOM streams tend to lag for some reason, therefore when the casters go on break and come back (cause u need to be able to hear to know if you're fast forwarding or not), hit "c" on your computer to fast forward. U should keep hitting "c" until you reach around 2.0x or 3.0x. When you hear the noises start to skip, then hit "z" to return back to 1.0x speed. Do this every time because it never stops lagging, but don't be a dick and FF all the time.

Q: The gamma rays hurt my eyes and everything looks bad
A: You may want to change your GOMTV settings to have more contrast and color pop out.
Hit F7, then change the sliders to this:

 

[Pancakes]

Genius 4-3, calling it.

 

[Corran Horn]

Genius 4-3, calling it.

D R G 4-2

 

[Vano]

Brotoss need another champion.

Genius 4-2

 

[Pancakes]

Join the IRC jerkfaces.

 

[Mairu]

woo finals

 

[Quadratic]

I bought redbulls to stay up for this. LETS GO!

 

[Corran Horn]

VS.

I actually did some work!

 

[xmShake]

DRG 4-0

 

[Hazaro]

Genius 4-1

Because he will use some Protoss BS 5 times in a row and DRG will all-in once.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I predict a victory for Team MVP.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Genius 4-2

I'll be rooting for DRG but my zerg inferiority complex tells me he won't win

 

[StopMakingSense]

Hope they are good games. Same team finals can be a little underwhelming.

 

[ultron87]

I hope Genius snaps some Zerg necks.

 

[fallagin]

Genius is going to win 4-1. The protoss metagame is really strong right now.

 

[Tashi]

No Terran so I have no horse in this race. Hoping for a great finals!

 

[Vaporak]

Normally I'd have to give the edge to DRG; he's been doing very well for longer than Genius and is peaking in ZvP when he was already pretty damn good at the matchup. But Genius already beat DRG on his way to the finals and we don't really know how good genius is because he's just been winning too much too suddenly. I'm going with Genius 4-3. Either way it's about damn time we had another non Terran Champion.

 

[Corran Horn]

Genius is going to win 4-1. The protoss metagame is really strong right now.

DRG also destroys protoss.

But Im expecting alot of cheeeeeese.

 

[Agnogenic]

.

 

[ultron87]

This isn't for another hour? Damn. I need more coffee.

For some reason I thought it was at 2.

 

[Tashi]

This isn't for another hour? Damn. I need more coffee.

For some reason I thought it was at 2.

Oh it's an hour earlier than normal GSL huh? That's good to know. Thanks!

 

[Paches]

Not sure who I really want to win, don't have a strong preference. I guess I'll root for a game 7 match!

 

[K.Sabot]

I want another Protoss to win a GSL.

LET'S GO GENIUS

 

[HolyCheck]

The peoples are gathering!

 

[Mairu]

shows over everybody go home

 

[Hazaro]

I heard there was an octagon.

MMA on blast, we #eSports now

 

[Mairu]

the finals stage! hazaro is a weenie

 

[Zzoram]

I'm hoping to learn something new for PvZ from Genius.

I'm not sure who I want to win more, I like both these guys. I guess I'll root for them to make it a close series.

 

[Q8D3vil]

of course people will show up, its a non-terran final

 

[Mairu]

stream is up, load it before site gets slow!

 

[jersoc]

go DRG! slap this protoss fool

 

[Mairu]

GENIUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Zzoram]

So does it start in 15 mins? Is there going to be a long pre-show or will they start playing within ~30mins?

 

[Quadratic]

Mr. Chae pregame show GO.

 

[Mairu]

GOOOOOOOOOOOO GENIUS

 

[vicissitudes]

Hell yeah I'll be staying up for at least part of this.

 

[Quadratic]

I do miss the K-Pop

 

[fanboi]

Wow... alot of people! SC2 ALIVE CONFIRMED

 

[HolyCheck]

So does it start in 15 mins? Is there going to be a long pre-show or will they start playing within ~30mins?

30 - 45 pre game i'd guess (from 20 minutes from now)

 

[ultron87]

I don't know what they're talking about!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

 

[HolyCheck]

I don't know what they're talking about!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

LAS VEEEEEEEEGAS BABEH

[ultron87]

LAS VEEEEEEEEGAS BABEH

I TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY.
