I'm pretty sure Vekalisk just sifted through pictures that looked like they'd go well together when put into a banner and balance each other out nicely.) Anyways, even if you think it's biased, the problem is that the other banners that have been proposed are simply not as well-made. Vekalisk already said if he has the time, he'll modify it, but he's not obligated to change it if he doesn't want to or can't find the time, in which case, it's someone else's job to make another better-looking ("unbiased") banner. | ||

Your complaint that it's biased needs to be weighed against its prettiness LOL That's such a shallow remark. Propaganda posters can be pretty, too! No matter how pretty kim jong ill's posters are, they can still bring a bad message! This is the finals, both sides need to be hyped up equally, which includes the freaking banner. Nobody's going to be hyped about it when the poster shows one side clearly having the upper hand. And it's unfair for the players as well. | ||

Genius does look victorious and DRG seeming rather despondent beside the thumbs down. If I had no idea that the matches were still unplayed I'd think Genius had won. Not that I think it should be changed though; it is an excellent banner. Thanks for being honest. | ||

Nobody's going to be hyped about it when the poster shows one side clearly having the upper hand. And it's unfair for the players as well. I sincerely doubt that the hype for a GSL final will be destroyed or made by a banner. Hype for GSL games has, for instance, never been destroyed by badly-made banners (of which there have been many) or by the lack of banners, and having a nice-looking banner is leagues better than having a badly-made banner or having no banner at all. Can't believe you also compared propaganda posters, which are created specifically to convey certain messages to an audience and made by professional artists/designers, to a fan-made banner whose sole purpose is to look nice at the top of a LR page. | ||

*Goes back to GIMP* (To make more hype stuff) EDIT: Until a better one comes along. Also there's no need for perfect political correctness. BW threads have bi-est banners all the time and they seem happy to just laugh it off. Chill guys. | ||

Whether the author intended it or not, the banner does send a subliminal message that one player is better than the other. You might want to read up on this. http://tribes.tribe.net/e388baea-51eb-417f-9390-06fe37f92e41/thread/57cf1caa-84f0-4bc9-93ba-98bf85014733 So yes, the banner is very close to propaganda, intentional or not. | ||

He just didn't like that Genius is dominate with a thumbs up and DRG is looking down and ignoring the viewer. We can all agree the banner looks really good, it just doesn't give that hype edge I want (I personally like the whole UFC type banner with the two fighters facing each other fist raised, more than this) | ||

And making the thread a week earlier was a great move, imo. I tend to forget when GSL stuff is until it's happening, so having this up early keeps it in mind and gets me more hyped for it. | ||
