Yeah sorry I was getting mixed up with JKS. Yes, SKS is TesteR/Trickster, he has finished his military service and will play in Clan Wars. | ||

If i remember correctly, Squirtle was some kind of a force in Brood War, so it makes sense to put him out in starbow. A rivalry that is now years old will most probably prove a good Clan War. | ||

I try to ignore them best I can but it's quite difficult to click full screen without seeing them. TotalBiscuit, would it be okay to temporarily enable my adblock on YouTube for purposes of watching the ShoutCraft? I know it sucks but I do normally have it off and I subscribe to you on Twitch so there's that. I really want to support the tournament, but man, I hate spoilers even minor ones. "Is it ok for me to deprive you of your income?". What do you expect the answer to be? Ifyou have an issue with it, put the video in full screen . Just as an FYI, the starcraft channel only manages to monetize around 35% of its views, Adblock is responsible for some of that. The channel is commercially unviable and only continues to exist because it's being effectively paid for by my other work. Now imagine that every other sc2 content creator is in the same situation. And most don't have anything else to fall back on. Yeah. | ||

Well I give you $5 a month through Twitch so I hardly think I'm depriving you of income and I would only disable it for the ShoutCraft videos (I have Ad Block disabled on Twitch, YouTube, TL, MLG and Reddit by default). It's just....unfortunate....the way YouTube works that by having adverts it is giving a way the match length and number of matches remaining. This happened with Millenium vs Evil Geniuses. I knew that JYP and Xenocider were going to win because of the amount of yellow dots on the bar indicating the remaining games. It was a very disappointing spoiler for me. If you feel this is unreasonable I will leave Ad Block off. | ||

If you feel this is unreasonable I will leave Ad Block off. Ok so the ads do not giveaway the number of matches remaining, we are adding anti-spoiler footage to those vods and putting in "fake" ads so every video looks like it went the full 7 games. So no you didn't actually know JYP and Xenocider were going to win, you just thought you did. If any series doesn't go the full 7, we pad it out to make it look like it did. There's also significant pre and post match analysis that means you can't determine the length of a match accurately either. If you're going to use Adblock then just use it, don't ask. You're never going to get a content producer saying "no dude it's totally fine to Adblock". I very much appreciate the $5 a month and it's far more than your ad views would give, but just make the decision yourself on the facts and not on misunderstandings. Our VoDs (with the exception of the first one, which we quickly learned from) are designed to be spoiler-free and they will continue to be in the future. It just so happened that the series you watched went to all 7 maps. | ||

I don't need ad block since that's the case. | ||
