I just watched the VODs after coming home from work and DAMN it was AMAZING! I enjoyed the other games I saw as well from the GSTL but this series blew me away. Especially the last few games were easily some of the best I've ever seen - Squirtle vs. MVP gameplay-wise, and Bomber vs. Losira drama-wise were really, really cool.
And Artosis' commentary ... dude. Sometimes his style can be annoying and bordering on the arrogant, but today I once again realized how good he is at what he does. The entertainment and energy he adds to Tasteless' great casting is priceless and was just as awesome as the games themselves.
Best 5$ I've ever spent on Esports.

LosirA started the BM as far as I'm aware of it, so it was natural to respond with the same.

It's sooooo funny.

I loved it all. Obviously the games themselves were beats and amazing, but the casting also really was _amazing_. The archon delivered bigtime.
When games have luls or are a bit slow, Tasteless is just genius. When games get insane and its hitting fever pitch, Artosis is so wildly exciting and fucking AWESOME that it just makes the whole thing so damn oh my god good.
When IMMvp was coming back against Bomber... Artosis had me in fits of laughter AND incredibly excited. Then his random outbursts of nerdgasmic-energy bursts during game 8. Every big engagement just seeing if Squirtle could break the tnakline with Artosis screaming with nerd-excitement.
The to top it all off, when NesTea got called up and he just plain broke down. His voice went suddenly aggressive with pleasure. It was fucking awesome and reflected perfectly just what the nerd world was thinking when NesTea stood up.
Artosis seriously, seriously loves this game and it shows. I fucking love the casting archon. <3

Squirtle vs MVP was one of the best games ever.

Totally worth $5... That was the single most epic night of SC2 I've ever watched so far.
|
I'm so happy to have seen this live. It was one of those events you just had to be there for. It was nearly three and a half hours of an emotional roller-coaster.
|
man those matches last night were truly epic epic epic, especially when Immvp v bomber the come back from mvp was just unbelievable, pure awesomeness & entertaining.

Best game 8 on Best map Terminus RE!!!
Whoever made that map is a FUCKING GENIUS!
I hope that will be the future of SC2! It was so like sc1, map control! I LOVE IT! DAAAMN

As much as I loved watching this last night, the final game was so lame. That's the kinda crap I see on ladder and makes me hated pvz and xel'naga lol, but otherwise so cool to see it all. Such unique interesting games, full of different little tricks and everything.
Only thing that kinda concerned me was Squirtle vs MvP, where there was literally 7 orbitals spamming. At one point I saw an expansion with one scv, 8 mules and its like uhh, who needs scvs! Just get a 200/200 pure army and mule the rest!

Buying a season ticket means I can see all vods from GOMTV (since GSL1) until the season finishs? Or only the vods from the current season?

You can see all VODs from the season you purchased the ticket for.

amazing games, feel really lucky to watch them live, just like the nama/mana and kiwikaki/morrow series

They aren't exactly slow either, since there is drops, warp-ins and all kind of stuff going on all the time.
Incredible Miracle really deserved the win, the MVP-Nestea one-two punch was too hard for Star Tale to handle. I am really impressed by all the relatively unknown players from both those teams.

That was one seriously sick series
/dance anyone ?

If games 7 and 8 are the future of Starcraft 2, which I think they are, then this game has a beautiful future.
Blizzard needs to stop holding back on the maps.
