Yea, pretty sure they said that the tournament will always be played on the most recent patch. And since there's no lan you pretty much have to practice on battle.net. Having tournament in patch 1.0 and practive in 1.1 is not a good idea.
Foreigners fighting ! :D GO TLO, IdrA, Artosis and TorcH ^^
lol @ you can apply if you are Pro, amateur, or foreigner... Its like foreigners are below amateurs... heh, I know its not meant that way, was just funny...

IdrA and TLO should make it to the semi's at least. But what is with the sept 10?? Isn't it sept 4?
Anyways, thanks motbob
It will be hard for both IdrA and TLO to make it to the semis. I actually think IdrAs group looks quite hard, then again IdrA is a beast, but TLO's group has some extreme names. I highly doubt TLO will make it to the semis. TLO will have to beat guys like Tester and Check.
I'm so pumped for this, it's been ages since we've seen Tasteless cast games. Plus it's awesome to root for foreign players in a Korean tourney. It would be nice if more bw pros would switch to SC2, but until there is a sort of SC2 proleague with sponsored teams I doubt many will switch.

Yeah I know, but I am such a huge fan of him that I am sure he will make it.
We got to belieeeve in the heart of TLO :D
Thing with IdrA is that he is very consistent and always racks up a huge number wins that its seemingly impossible for him to crash out now in the early rounds.

Apparently the army happened to him and thus he can't play.
Is there content being streamed on the "Live" stream for premium users right now? It only gives me a count down timer for the event to start when I click the Live button (free user). What is the video resolution at 1:1?

so, hypothetically if I were to buy the premium ticket, how do I access the premium stream? seems like you pay via paypal, never used it before; how do I shot web?
Hey guys, I bought the premium stream like 2 hours ago and downloaded the Gom Player. How do i launch the live stream in HQ after it starts? Much help is appreciated!

yeah this is why I wanted to ask before buying
I actually bought the MLG premium stream and had to go out for the two days and only watched like 1 game in HQ, but I don't mind as long as it supports sc2 ^^.

ruh-roh.... having all kinds of lag issues with the website... I almost paid the $20 but decided to see if they could handle the traffic first. Fingers crossed they can actually get this thing up and running.
Same here, payed for the HQ and it says that there are too many viewers and I should wait a few minutes and try again later. And now the site won't even load.

Well it doesn't recognise that I've purchased a premium ticket and I'm struggling to open a LQ stream in IE. Isn't South Korea meant to be a world leader in broadband?

Are you logged in? I paid for the HQ stream like 15 minutes before the event started and it works fine for me.
Yep, logged in. It showed I had purchased a few hours ago, now its not showing up as purchased. I'm tempted to purchase it again, but I don't trust their system to process it.
I had trouble with the login admitting my existence at first too. Keep tryin guys, it let me in eventually, running pretty smooth too- no lag whatsoever for low quality stream.
Anyone who hasn't paid for the HQ should be watching restreams (that are working fine now btw) and taking a load of the GOM servers, as soon as the restreams came online I turned off the GOM player.
Ok I have more faith now. Its showing up again as "purchased". I feel more confident the problem is either on my end, or something I don't really have to be that pissed about (mostly just concerned something fishy is going to happen to my card)

Since you paid via Paypal, Gretech doesn't have acces to your credit card.

Is anyone else having issues with the GOM site? I went through the whole account activation process, got the activation email and clicked on the link to activate but I can't log in. Every time I try, I get "We cannot find your email or nick-name. Please re-enter it." I've tried putting in my email, the nickname i chose, and my real name and none work.
I also thought that maybe the activation didn't go through so I attempted to sign-up again but when I did, it said my Email and Nickname were unavailable. So obviously the activation worked but I can't sign in.
Anyone have similar issues or know how to solve it?

I had that same problem, and I "solved" it by just using the log in with facebook option instead of making an account.

Ugh, thanks for the suggestion but I just tried that and it says both my email and Nickname are "duplicated." I can change my nick easy but I don't want to create a whole new email just for GOM..... how annoying. Perhaps it takes awhile for the activation to go through the system? I guess I'll just try logging in tomorrow.

Just do a password reset and relogin with your new password. It worked for me.

Thanks man! It worked like a charm! I had pretty much given up but I I'll finally be able to watch now.
Anyone planning on making a live report thread? I'd make it but then I wouldn't be able to update it until tomorrow so it'd seem kinda pointless. If anyone wants to do it, it shouldn't be too hard to copy my or pachi's syntax and take the matchups from this thread.
Hey guys, I'm watching Idra's round 1 games on GOMtv, and I have a question:
Who the hell is controlling the observer's camera? It's on Idra's base while there is Reaper harass going on at his natural, and now it's stuck off on the bottom edge of the map.
Are all the games observed by someone this bad, or was there just some technical issue for Idra's first game of round 1?
In that game, the observer camera was following Artosis' screen, but both he and Tasteless thought it was following Tasteless' screen since he is the designated observer. So it's just an issue for that game.

ditto
edit: i found a way to watch it with the korean commentators on soku.com, but it's just not the same :<
TLO and IdrA will do better next month if they put a little more effort into scouting hidden stuff. Seriously, hiding things all around the map seems to be the foreigner exploitation strat of the month.
Hmm It's possible we can see a ZvZ finals :O:O:O That would obviously make a lot of whiners shut up if that were to happen. But nonetheless patch 1.1 from ro16 onwards.
I'm rooting for Tester and Inca !!! two most sickest players in my opinion :D
TLO doesn't have practice partners good enough. Since he was playing oGs player he had to play mostly with guy who didn't make it through prelims. If he fought someone beside oGs he could have won, he has potential. I can see him in ro16 nex GSL if he doesn't play someone from top8 or someone from oGs on his level.
IdrA lost due to playing zerg. If Blizzard fixes this i see his potential to get to ro8 and if he doesn't meet someone from top4 it can be even ro4.

Don't make this a whine thread and have you watched the games at all? There were some fundamentals that both TLO and Idra lacked in the decisive games which is what made them lose. The biggest of them being scouting for proxies. That is just 1 fundamental in which u see other koreans scout the entire surroundings of their base before going to the opponent. So do not say something like IdrA lost due to playing zerg. And don't say TLO doesn't have practice partners good enough too.
If you watched the gsl games or vods then you would have known that they held a inhouse ranking tourney and TLO ended up above hyperdub which means they have atleast played several games against eachother.
Hyperdub was the better player overall in the series and same goes to lotze (or losira?) although there were some luck involved in some cases (counts for other players too).
Don't make this a whine thread and have you watched the games at all?
Yes, and I watched interview which You didn't. TLO clearly said that he wasn't playing with oGs players before match. Inhouse ranking and games prove that his opponent made big leap and it's no miracle but training and coaching with best terrans SC2 scene from oGs team. This is perfectly logical. Lack of scouting on this level of play isn't because of bad fundamentals - don't make me laught, it's the same as in BW scene. It's due to routine and routine comes from two places succes or in our case practive with same guy, and TLO admitted that it was one guy. He also said weird thing about nukes, which tips us about level of this guy.
IdrA played more solid game than his opponent and still lost so I blame it on being zerg.

We will see in next GSL since I made predictions.
Talk about denial, Idra lost because he didnt scout the map and let the protoss have a hidden base
It's not my prediction, but it is my hope. Tester is just so much better than everyone I hope he can overcome the handicap of just not playing Terranautowinz

thats funny cuz in his interview before the match he said this..
"Team-aAa : Do you train with Korean people and do Custom Games ? TheLittleOne : From 11 to 18 there’s a in-house practice in the combined TeamLiquid and oGs, so I’m playing oGs players all day long."
