Oh god, again?

Too.. much...content..can't... watch.. it all!

Going to stick to TSL, NASL and foreigner matches in the GSL, I think. (Mostly because of better timeslots).

Thankfully GSL is in a good timeslot here in Australia so i don't have to bother with the garbage that is NASL.

Holy shit, team Terran in Code A is STACKED; if a Terran doesn't win Code A I'll be shocked.

MMA, bomber, MVP etc. I think there is going to be a few code S players looking over their shoulders come time for the up and down matches.

Hyped. The NASL has just made me more hyped for the GSL; good production values hooray!

I won't bother making predictions because I always forget about them and miss a round.

Yeah, experiencing the NASL has made me appreciate GSL that much more.

GoM continues to have the best production values, matches (in my opinion), and casters. GSL + TSL for me, and then NASL when TSL is over and when I have some time to kill (hopefully they improve).

It is a bit of an unfair comparison GOM has a much bigger budget and staff as well as years of experience (they used to do broodwar stuff aswell if you didn't know).
However it is a massive dissapointment that NASL couldn't do even some of the simplist things right and took little notice of what everyone else is doing right and just ran with what they wanted.

MMA v TopClass
Hyperdub v Line
GanZi v Nuts
Jjun v Bomber

And I'll gladly do the tallying again for this season. So no worries about that.

I hope they have gotten their vod player worked out this season. It was super annoying that I would pause a match and have the thing start back at the beginning with ads when I hit play again.

They fixed it pretty soon after that error started happening. It's fine now.

I really don't care. It's their own fault if they have these problems. If they ever manage to make a halfway decent tournament i will tune in but until then i won't waste my time.

While these are some good code A games after coming from the GSTL, I would prefer Code S to start!

Oh well time for some not-tastosis action soon.

this is the code A of leenock! His time has come.

thank god for gsl starting. Sad that we gotta wait for tomorrow for tastosis. At least we'll be able to understand code A now!

Code A is definitely a much lower standard but i am looking forward to seeing more of the likes of MMA and bomber and other up and coming players.

I honestly dont mind the quality of games in Code A, but the lack of casters that I care about. Ill give Doa/Moletrap a chance but last season I basically gave up on Code A half way through and only watched finals after.

Code A was really good last season, Losira's play was top code S worthy. This time round it's all about the terrans. Bomber, Ryung, MMA, MVP, Boxer .. hopefully they can all at least make the Ro8.

Does anyone know how the super-tournament qualification works? Is it just the current Code A + code S or will there be another qualification round?

Doa is good tbh. He's not analytical like Artosis, so he doesn't pick up on the small important details but he's better than a lot of what I heard in other events.

That greasemonkey script worked fine for one season, why not just make that a feature for mac users :(

You consider the World Champion of starcraft a lower standard?

I wasn't referring to the players skill i meant the production as a whole. It's simply a whole different beast without tastosis.

GSL has a lot of filler content and if the casters who are filling that gap aren't very good it makes things a whole lot worse.

The osx Gom Player client was working during the GSL World series and it was actually pretty damn good. I don't understand why they've decided to block osx users again. It makes no sense.

Doa + John made the code S pick show pretty amazing imo, hopefully him and moletrap get get into a groove quickly

I don't think there's anyone on the planet more skilled at filling time than Tasteless, you we'll have to lower our standards a bit.
