The recommended games area in general is one giant spoiler(the ones with thread starter posting recommendations instead of a poll at least), it basically tells the plot of the game beforehand, thus cancelling the entire point of having recommendations
Aah thats the stuff..

Watching live is really the only way to avoid all spoilers. Even with the Small VOD thread you have issues like seeing how long the match is, which is somewhat hard to avoid (although possible). Also, recommended games should just stick to polls IMO to avoid spoilers.

the number of times I have checked a players race stats to see how good they are against the current match up, (thats O.K, not spoilled yet) then look at thier most recent 10 matches and think oh O.K so now I know thier form and then go back to watching the game and realise that that last result was almost certainly the game I am watching. So stupid, but I don't know how many times I have done it now.

Actually, the biggest spoiler is when (T)Flash is playing:

99% - he wins
1% - he loses and people start making threads, blogs and argue +100 pages of LR thread, especially since he often loses after stupid games, because his econ-oriented & perfect defense style is so risky.

One time, I woke up too late to watch the Korea vs Argentina WC match. I was waiting for the replay to come up on espn360. Decided to play some BW while I was waiting. Then someone goes, "damn, can't believe Korea lost 4-1" I was lie FFFFFUUUU!!

The clear solution is just to watch the game live. ESPORTS takes priority over all.

I don't think I've ever had a single pro match (that I was interested in) spoiled. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe I'm just smart and use the small VOD thread.

And don't forget sleep. "Sleep is for the weak" ! The only way you can be COMPLETELY sure NOT to be spoiled is to wake up at 5AM like me to watch games live, so that makes it 4AM in the UK.

But really, you've got to make the choice. One one hand, you have a nice cozy sleep-in until 12-13 Saturday morning, where you can wake up and feel a bit annoyed about not having watched the games. Then you usually end up getting on with your life.

OR YOU CAN WAKE UP AT 5 FUCKING A.M.! And have the most awesome feeling ever, seeing it get light outside staring at your computer scree, re-heated food on lap, watching 2 streams at once, and getting so carried away you end up playing on iCCup afterwards until like 14-15.


Whenever I think of anti-spoilers I think of GomTV Avratech Intell Classic Season 2, first proper league I really followed (like all the group stages and what-not), where throughout the season they were so awesome that they actually listened to all of us whining about getting spoileREd (no, not spoiled, spoilered) and they implemented extra VOD's for BO5 matches, among other things.


The problem was that if the first two VOD's had 20,000 views, and the third 453, you could tell.
Also one of my favorite was a game supposed to be played on a jungle map (iirc Katrina 2.0) with the preview picture being in the wrong tileset (Medusa)/

But.... Only sleep like 4/5 hours a day... I'm going up at about 5 a.m and then I got to go and FUCKING WORK -_-" I'm coming home 15 p.m and can then start uploading vods and watch the games...

There are so many ways to spoil yourself that it's not even funny.

I download vods with Bitorrent and I had to set uTorrent not to display file sizes, "# of pieces#", "downloaded", "completed", "remaining" and "selected size", otherwise I start to get paranoid and try to figure out the number of sets through file sizes.

Oh, and I use VLC minimalist mode to hide the progress bar and if I am going to skip forward or backwards I put my hand over the screen so I can't see how long the match is.

Well the length of the game is sufficient enough to spoil me. Like for example if Shine or Kwanro is playing, if the length of the game is like 20+, then they lost.
