Its an established eSport field in South Korea with plenty of leagues and tournaments going on. Players have decent salaries so there's no reason for them to switch.

Has the veto function changed recently? I vetoed Backwater Gulch, and got a game on it. When I checked to make sure I had actually vetoed it, I noticed that the veto menu says "makes this map less likely to be chosen for play." I thought it completely removed it, as I had maps like Kulas Ravine and Steppes of War vetoed, and don't remember drawing them.

So where are you able to watch Starcraft tournaments like TLS and GSL for free on the internet? Or are their websites that put up the replays?

Will you ever actually forget to make one of these topics this month?

Will the TSL be available on a free stream or a stream we have to pay for?

As far as I've noticed, It has always been like that since release, and that what it does is interferes with the matchmaking system - It will lower the priority of matchups on this map. As an example, if someone with your EXACT MMR was available but only on this map (they'd veto'd all the others - I know this is not possible, I'm simplifying) but someone with a slightly higher or lower MMR was available on one of the maps you hadn't vetoed, then they would select the person with a slightly different MMR as the map is preferred by you. This preference is 'weighted' against the other factors in the matchmaking system (such as relative MMR and other maps available) to help decide your matchup.
A final note to consider is that from what I've experienced, your previous matches are not taken into consideration when your next map is being chosen. However, I'd have to sit down and blast through a lot of games to actually find out if this is true - I need to start remembering to turn sc2gears on before I start SC2 so I can gather this kind of data.

What does Blizzard plan to use as portraits/icons for the next two expansions..? They've used about almost every possible unit per race, and a few 'heros'. It would be stupid to see repeats/or half-assed "infested x" icons.. They'll probably just add portraits of any new characters or units that they include in the games. Remember they're just going to be expansion packs, not entirely new games.
yea true but in wc3 there were extremely different icons with the expansion
maybe they will change the tiers so you get less icons per amount of wins

Anyone know where I can find the video they played in Code S Ro16 Day 1 after the jinro vs hongun series?..

Isn't it smarter to tell your banelings to unburrow and either blow up instantly like Detnonate would, but with the added bonus of chasing down the few remaining units left over cause they're now unburrowed? I believe its because of the delay it takes to unburrow, at least that how i see it
actually no thats not it, its because when the banelings unburrow they push the units above them out of the way making large holes thus greatly dimishing the amount of splash from the banes.

Does GSL allow Chinese GSL vods to be up outside of their websites? I saw some sites with chinese vods and I don't know if this is favorable for GSL since less people will buy tickets and support Esport.

Because SC1 still has a huge art in it, probably more then SC2 which is more tied to gimmicks rather then perfecting your macro/micro (yes bring the flame on). I've played SC1 for 12 years but I want to focus on SC2 because it's new and much simpler which is something an old gamer like me need now.
My questions: Why haven't I been able to find any of the MOTM on the EU server?
Question 2: How do you micro marines when kiting, is it really just move command + attack?
Question 3: In SC1 there was a huge depth on how to micro mutas, move them and hold position to spray etc, but in SC2 im not getting that feeling. The only micro avaliable is magic box and possibly shift + A on various targets....

Hi I'm playing zerg and has a problem with my rally points for my hatcheries. I put all my hatcheries on 4 but occasionally I find my rally points for drones and army suddenly disappear. I know it's probably something I'm doing wrong but I can't really figure it what, so if someone have had a similar problem and know what caused it, please share.
Could it be that I have 4 marked and double click a unit that then dies? This could be it perhaps but I'm not sure why I would do that so often.

I don't have that problem, you can select all your hatcheries to one hot key, click the orange line on minerals (all hatch to one field or seperate fields), and the white one to the ground. Perhaps you have your armies on 1-3 and by mistake click ctrl + 4 on your units? I keep my hatcheries on 7-0

It's because either you rallied your units to a unit that died, or because you right-clicked an hatchery. There is no fix for that btw, but i find it useful.

The question is rather: Why do you play SC2 when there's Brood War?

Tasteless was talking about something called a "vg board" in the TOP vs TheBest game. I suppose it is not video game board :D anyone?
I am on the verge of losing my mind, Ive been searching for it for quite some time now :D
