I'm on a MAC, have the Gom player installed and when I try to click on live feed (SQ) it says it doesnt support my operating system.

Does anyone have a direct link to the stream? Also, none of the streams posted on OP are working, most seem offline.

No streams atm, they're all just links to restreams for when the tournament is on!

today is just qualifying, no stream of it as there will be thousands of games, so just a lot of people pressing f5 on team liquid + various korean websites to find out who's made it :D

Basically for 2011, GSL Open right now is to determine who gets what rank etc
Plans for GSL 2011,

There will be 12 tournaments throughout 2011, and there will be 4 types of tournaments.

1. GSL (Ran in January, March, April, July and September) - Main League. 32 Code S players tournament and 64 Code A players tournament.
2. World Championship (Ran in June and October) - 4 representative from each region in a 16 man tournament.
3. Ladder Tournament (Ran in February, May, August and November) - Tournament to decide best of Battle.Net ladder. Top 200 from each region are invited to participate in a preliminary for a 16 man double elimination tournament.
4. Blizzard Cup (Ran in December) - Top 8 (of GSL ranking I'm guessing?) will be invited to decide the best player of the year in a Bo5 Playoff format tournament.

Here's hoping all of TL makes it, as well as IdrA. Too bad Incontrol couldn't make it. That guy's hilarious on SotG.

Did Cella get permission to use every team name in his tag? Can he get in trouble for that? It's awesome but just wondering because those teams have sponsors that may/may not care about some guy wearing their tag.

Liquid > ST confirmed.

ST only has HopeTorture for good players. JulyZerg hasn't proven he's capable of anything in SC2 yet.

I love how he spends so much time on Teamliquid posting and streaming that he put the Liquid tag first.

I hope all the Liquid players get S code so they'll feel obligated to stay in Korea and not give up after a few months.

Hoping for more Protoss to advance today, anything to keep mirror match ups to minimum.

True, though for myself, PvP is the absolute worst matchup. But doesn't look like thats going to be a problem :lol But yea, serious lack of some Protoss.

I would be very surprised to see Tasteless qualify where Artosis, iNcontroL, and Kiwikaki couldn't. I guess he could get very lucky with the brackets, but considering how many people still have yet to play I doubt it :p

:lol :lol Sweet I got S class, so I'm automatically qualified to post in the GSL threads next year.

Gonna try to pull a Nada and go from S-class in S2 to not qualifying for S3. Getting up at that ungodly hour was killing me.

I really hope Blizzard fixes PvP but I think it may take an expansion to do that at this point.

That's what everyone said about Zerg being underpowered. I think Protoss is fine. Watch the Inca vs. NexGenius game and you'll realize PvP doesn't have to be a boring 2/3/4-gate -> colossus every game, that's just how the current top Toss players have played so far. Give it a little time.

and his whole family moved over to America, and got US citizenships, or so I've heard.

If this is true, he is one of us! one of us! one of us!

Group A of day 2 just started their first matches. FruitDealer, NesTea and LiquidRet, LoveRip, TSL_Rain are in Group A. Also two US Airforce came out to participate but lost in their first match.

Hopefully the big three there can all make it out

Select isn't Korean anymore apparently, he gave up his citizenship or something, probably to avoid the draft.

He may not be a Korean citizen anymore but he is definitely still Korean ;p

We need more foreigners! I hope idra can get even further than last season, when he is at the top of his game he looks like one of the best players in the tournament.

What match up is Protoss supposed to be underpowered in? Because conventional wisdom is Protoss is favored against Terran and at least even with Zerg. I think Protoss players have been pretty stubborn with a lot of their builds, its the race with by far the lowest amount of changes to play. Zerg players have developed so much since launch, and Terran has been forced to adapt because of the dramatic changes to the race.

Terran looks like the weakest race to me, TvZ is kind of a mess right now, and PvT is tough in the mid game once the Colossi come out, I just think a lot of players flocked to it when it was the best race so plenty of great Terrans are still out there.
