kids need to stop whining about spoilers. the semifinals have been over for days now. its about time time somebody bought you up to date. The time in which it was completed has nothing to do with being spoiled. If a movie came out last year that someone you know hasnt seen yet, but is going to watch it that week, would you spoil it for him simply because "its been out for a year now". Your argument is stupid.
I have to agree. When we read a book in english class and some faggot spoils the ending, it's still considered a spoiler regardless of the fact that the book may have been written hundreds of years ago.

Sports are not movies and books. They are meant to be watched and discussed live. You say there is no harm in just having generic GSL banners, I say there is harm. Remember this FP image? I'd say it's far better than a generic one. What you're advocating is never having relevant images on our front page. In the future there will be more time-sensitive stuff, not less.
Soon, everything will be streamed and discussed live. It will be more like a real sport (like soccer or football or w/e) and less like a delayed movie. Are you going to ask ESPN to spoil the results on their front page? I understand SC2 and ESPORTS are not there yet, but that's definitely the direction we're moving in.
So for now, our policy will be 24 hour, possibly 48 hour spoiler-free front page. After that it's on you not to visit TL until you watch the matches or bookmark the sections you want to visit. It's your choice. It's fine if you want to DVR the NBA Finals to watch 4 days later, but you wouldn't ask ESPN to not talk about it.

Well done Waxangel! Hope to see MMA take this, Slayers fighting! 
|
i wasnt aware of the hatred of polt..nor do i see how it is warranted.
|
This TL "commandment" may need to be adjusted...
"Don't be an attention whore and give away the results of games, sporting events, movie endings, etc. in the title of the thread/post. Also, if you're going to reveal stuff in the body of your post, then be decent enough to use the - Hide Spoiler -"

J. He's the person responsible for the terrible streams at MLG Dallas.
K. He's also the owl in those Tootsie Pop commercials that steals the boy's candy and eats it in front of him.
I lost it right here hahaha, I can't wait for these finals! I really hope MMA wipes the floor with Polt
|
Awesome writeup <3
Just opened the LR thread for the occasion :p
And the spoiler discussion is ridiculous, i'm sure ALL the people who complained already knew the results (or didn't care enough for the results so they shouldn't care about spoilers)

In the tradition of one-sided GSL finals I predict MMA mopping the floor with Polt 4:1.
What's interesting to me is that even if MMA wins he's still going to be Code A, right? That's quite ridiculous! The champion of the "SUPER" tournament to participate in Code A after beating both Code A and Code S...

Same thing happened to Mvp in the World Championships. I guess the powerhouses in Code A have more to fight for, considering they're locked out of more than like $1.5k in income per month until they get up into Code S.

I'd say 48 hrs is good policy, I never watch any live games just VODs.

This was great to read and the Polt write-up was hilarious!
I want MMA to win so MKP can become Optimus.
Also, I think MMA is just going to crush face.

Why does this say 15:10 KST, but its 14:10 kst in liquibet?

Polt Fighting! The guy has struggled in the past and has worked hard to turn everything around. Seeing him win the GSL by beating MMA and avenging MKP will make his victory that much sweeter

Go SlayerS and MMA, crush Polt! ;@

Is the DRG vs SC showmatch happening at 15:10, or is it earlier?
Apparently, the DRG vs. SC Special League Final will be at 15:10 and then the Grand Final, of Polt vs. MMA will follow at 16:30 (or directly afterward).

Always bet on the underdog Polt 4-3!
|
Wow, reading the history of these guys actually makes me look forward to this finals. I was pretty bummed before, but now I think I'tt stay up and mess up my sleep schedule to watch GSL.
|
Oo,this is gonna be awesome. Two different T styles duking it out. I hope MMA puts this in the bag.
