That's why you should watch the games. The maps were excellent imo. Then again everyone has their own likes / dislikes. | ||

I can't watch the stream live (while I'm in lectures) and it is only four days of content so I'm not sure. I could think of a lot of less worthwhile things I've spent 3 quid on mate xD Todays matches weren't stunning given 2 of the weakest teams were in action, but the format is fun and team competitions are generally entertaining imo. Get some nice match and player variety etc. --- On the subject of ads, I just loaded a few VoDs and didn't have any play. | ||

The best player in the team shouldnt play when under pressure and one game away from elimination. He should play early, maybe get some wins, and then when his weaker teammates enter, they have the confidence from being in a winning position. I wouldn't be surprised to see IM using Nestea and Mvp as their first 2 players, or Nestea as first and MvP as last (he seems to handle pressure well). For oGs it doesn't really matter, they have 4 S-class players anyway  Yeah because Flash and Jaedong are always the first to be played in winners league  MKP either has it in him or he doesnt...if he cant handle the pressure he's not a true ace player and thus not a true S class. Am I being to harsh?  | ||

Ace for a team with the overall talent level(not very good) of Prime, yea, he doesn't have it right now. | ||

I agree 100%, Prime has definitely fallen from being the top team during the beta to rather mediocre currently. MKP is the only reason why prime i watch Prime clan match and the only reason why Prime is still relevant as a top team. | ||

Anyways, I really enjoyed the games on Taldarim. The ridiculously huge map size really prolongs the game for the better, and it seems that players are only scratching the surface of its potential. It was nice to see games on that map end after multiple engagements instead of one. I was a bit disappointed to see the Crossfire game end so quickly and lackluster, though it was due more to the Terran player's mistakes than the map itself. I look forward to seeing legitimate games on that map. | ||

fOu chose to send out 3 Terrans to try to take down Squirtle. it might be indicative of Korean opinions on the current state of ZvP, but it's way too early to tell with just 1 match played out so far. | ||

Actually, if you live in Europe, the matches are between 10:00 and 14:00, so if you are working (or taking your studies seriously) you won't be able to watch the streams anyway. I get home from work around 16-1700 and the HQ VODs are usually up by then and they don't really need any buffering. (The first season was terrible, the second ok and the third and onwards have been great). In other words, GomTV is providing very good value for money for Europeans, but you have to pay because you can't watch the SQ stream because of the time they are broadcasted. | ||

Yeah, it's very easy to miss the stream. But luckily the ticket costs dollars: 3,7€ for GSTL ticket and it'll be only ~7,5€ for GSL March ticket. Strong euro ftw. I have spent six times the amount of that on a single bad game. | ||

The format is really entertaining and the new maps make for some interesting and entertaining games. The HQ VODs are awesome and play without any buffering here in Norway, which is about as far from South Korea as you can get. | ||

Today there was definitely on the low side of possible matches and it still took about 4 hours...and I only paid 5 dollars. Plus it was exciting to see Tester, Alive, Fruitdealer, and Rain all on stage. And for the rest of the tournament IMMVP, Nestea, MC, Slayers_Boxer... If you can't tell I really enjoyed it and really looking forward to OGS-TL vs IM tonight! | ||

Squirtle (don't know much about him, so I assume he isn't nearly as accomplished as Nestea or such) but was he lucky or improved heavily? 4-0? That's very nice! Also surprised another player (again haven't heard of him [much]) beat CheckPrime AND MKP? impressive Squirtle has pretty solid PvT, I feel like fOu should have sent out a zerg or protoss after set 1 or 2. He has obvious room for improvement (putting his zealots in FRONT of his stalkers), but his build orders and unit compositions were very safe and hard to counter. Thebest ALMOST had him on tel'darim but after he got like 6 colossus and 10 phoenixes, there was no amount of marauders and vikings that could take it out  | ||
