oh really? where did you hear this? code S seed incoming?
He said it in atleast an interview or 2 recently plus on his twitter and facebook. His flight is actually sooner than he even expected, I think May 2nd if I remember correctly.
He also said that he does not anticipate participating in the GSL because his house is on Jeju Island and so he would have to take a plane to get to the studio. So he is still focusing on foreign tournaments but he will have to just travel a lot more.

Lol. Found out about the real life mineral mining activity from the last SoTG, that was priceless especially when Sen made the machine go all wonky he looked scared shitless.
Now Select and Violet? Think ill tune in this time.

They said the paywall wasn't ready, but next week would require the subscription.
This is a SUBSCRIBER ONLY event. You can only watch if you have a Season 3 HD Pass for NASL Season 3. There will be no free stream.
This Showdown will also have a 480p free stream like last week, so you will NOT have to have an HD pass to watch this week!
NICE! NICE! NICE! Sucks that from next week I won't be able to follow Showdowns but at least I'll see sure to be amazing series with Select and Violet! <3
So, just to be brutally honest here with my personal opinion, because I wish nothing but the best for NASL... if you want to put these Showdowns behind paywalls in the future, it would probably be best if they were of the highest quality. Streamlined transitions, no sound flubs, no awkward shots, you know the rest. Just some friendly criticism. This isn't based on what I've seen so far, but more as how I personally feel about something that would be behind a paywall.... obviously, tonight's show hasn't really started yet. Last weeks, while enjoyable, was full of issues.

wow... that was... well said!
i completely agree with you. they are bringing great players but the production needs to step up
Definitely like the attempt at a cool live audience, even a small audience is better than none (winkcough), turnout is kinda disappointing, but it's a barcraft not the GSL. Interviews were awkward but funny, Select's 'cat' comment was hilarious. Violet's f-bomb was perfect.
Bonus points if the winner actually does any kind of celebration involving doing a shot at the bar.
The analysis was pretty much right on the money. I thought Select was going Mass Marines since he double expanded and went double upgrades, but that wasn't the case and got punished pretty hard for it.
nice decisions the whole game for violet. select prepared (overprepared?) for his mutas so he just retained them for map control while grabbing 4 bases and ran to ground upgrades, infestors & broods.
was definitely helped by select throwing away supply in unattended drops.

It sucks that he is back after the aLive fiasco, but unfortunately he brings in viewers and getting him to SoCal is relatively cheaper. Still, if the event is PPV and he pulls some 6 pool antics, the forums will rage with the wrath of 10 bonjwas.

The solution is if you were previously offended, do not watch. I won't be, its not worth my time.
