For the past 2 months, I've been following the WSOP main event via the ESPN show which I found quite decent. good commentaries and highlights. To make sure I would fully enjoy it, I did my best not to know the final table players before the final day (yesterday).

The very last WSOP show will be out anytime soon and I was getting ready to enjoy my final table, pop corn, beer.

AND THEN FOR NO REASON I WENT TO READ GOSUGAMERS

First news: Former RTS top player wins $5,809,595 USD

So I guess it's demidov (SK.Soul) and I guess he did 2nd place, kinda ruined everything.

thanks

Sounds like gg.net needs to be banned from the internet for not using spoiler tags xD

Lesson here is don't read gg.net. I asked different people there to like...change their titles so they aren't spoiler central but apparently they think telling the reader what happened will make them click the link lol.

YOU are responsible for not being spoiled. Don't blame a news site for posting news.

I don't think gg.net is a poker news-site, so I think he is allowed to be pissed about this.

It would be like if the front page of TL.net spoiled the Superbowl.

That being said, I don't like gg.net for spoiling anything, including starcraft, I like the way TL does it better, but that is a matter of personal preference I guess.

It's quite easy to go "WSOP Finals, Orky)Soul vs Whoever - Finals! Results Here!"
with a picture of soul....instead of who won or lost right in the title. within 5 minutes of WCG finals it was BAM YELLOW WINS WCG...ok great anyone waiting for the vods is screwed.

Frustrating, but the price you pay whenever you surf the internet and don't want to be spoiled (about anything!)

How many times do people have to make this complain? If you dont want spoilers, dont read gg.net. Its that simple. Smarten up and learn your lesson.

I agree that GG.net putting spoilers on the main page is bad, especially when they could tweak the title name would prevent them. However, if you really don't want to be spoiled, then make sure you dont go anywhere where there could be potential spoilers. OP said that the event was about to start when he went on GG so it is clearly his fault. He should have just sat there and not visited any news sites. I know that you can write about anything in the blog section and I'm not going to argue whether OP should have made the unnecessary post but seriously, it's his fault.

I agree with ppl saying "you shouldnt go there if you don't want to be spoiled". BUT, I was pokerspoiled, not SCspoiled. If I didn't want to know who won the WCG I wouldn't go there.

I don't like the way ggnet reports, but it's still your fault for visiting them in the first place.

You may not have expected a poker spoiler but you should have expected some sort of divine punishment for plunging in that cesspool.
