Definitely hots, up/downs are after the Code S finals and this seasons Code S finals are after hots release so i can't see it being in WoL, that'd be really weird.

You need to explain why it happens specifically in code A and not in code S... (Unless I'm mistaken, haven't seen that many code S games from this season)

Think GOM missed a trick here of not making Code A HOTS, like MLG is doing with it's qualifiers. Wait are you serious? This is still a WoL season, playing on a BETA should NEVER happen and only be the last resort. MLG and other only do this because they know that they will get bigger viewer numbers. So you think people in Code A should be able to earn a Code A and a Code S spot for HOTS by playing WOL? Whilst practicing extensively on HOTS so they don't get behind? Like IPL 6 for example is all about WOL, yet MLG is all about HOTS. That means everyone has to play 2 games to keep up with the demand, because most people have switched to HOTS now or are atleast practicing more on it. I can see that being a problem for the level of games we will see in both competitions, as they are pretty much right next door to each other as well in terms of dates. I know it's a beta and things can change pretty fast, BUT in terms of keeping the games up their and to freshen things up anyway i think it would be best to do a HOTS Code A this year and a HOTS IPL 6. We are less than 40 days away from HOTS don't forget. solution? we need WOL/HOTS frakenleague

I guess you should qualify for HotS GSL by playing HotS but that'd be unfair to those who focused on WoL and dropped to Code A
|
better safe than sorry i guess :p

Seed is playing this pretty well. Center forced to overreact heavily due to a lack of scouting information. Gogo Seed.
With triple CC I wouldn't mind Terrans to just scan (even twice if necessary) instead of just blindly building 4x Bunker and pull SCVs though.

(Unless I'm mistaken, haven't seen that many code S games from this season) Neither have I, I'm rarely awake at this hour (western USA) and GOM's ticket prices are lolworthy. I can't recall the last time I saw this much cheese in GSL though.

Center is gonna die so hard to that timing of Seed.
|
Seems like he messed up the 8-gate storm timing some. Why wasn't he across the map and attacked just as the upgrades finished?

I don't think GOM have yet announced how they will make the switch to HOTS. That they would just 100% switch I don't think they would do.
Don't mix GSL with other event since GSL is a genuine league, while the others are just event tournaments done in 2-4days. GSL goes on for a month for about two months.

Storm research completed before stim o_O'

Dafuq Seed not using that HT in his main on the drop T_T

lol center -_-
EDIT: Why would you pull scv's and clump them vs high templars? I mean i get you want to buffer vs zealots but jeez
