Wow, I got like, the GREATEST idea ever on how Gomtv could sell more tickets:

Let the people pay by players in Code S. You Terran? You get twice as many games as P/Z for the same money. That's unfair. It'd be cooler if Gom sold tickets that allowed you to watch one races video's + Semi's and finals. And than, give a discount of 30% for Z/P in case half the games are Terran.
In fact, I find that a whole lot more fair, I have nothing to gain from wathcing Tvt time and time again, it takes long, is boring, Idon't care about tank wars, I don't understand their shit, so actually, I pay for bs?


This is such a stupid post, good lord. Do you even read what you're typing before you press the button? This is a game between players that play different races. If you don't fucking like it, find a game where there isn't that dynamic. People whine about such stupid shit.

Edit: And just in fucking general, who fucking cares if there's more people of one race? It's cool you have a race but stop fucking threatening an organization that puts out premium content that is there for the fucking community day in and day out--all over something so ever-changing as the number of slots taken by certain races in a given season. GSL has edited their maps, modified the process by which players qualify and worked diligently to make certain Protoss and Zerg players have a chance. The last two GSL products have been phenomenal with two championship series that were the to-date premier series in StarCraft 2--both TvZs.

Stop talking about Protoss. Stop talking about Zerg. Stop talking about Terran. Start talking about StarCraft 2. 99.9% of the people who post here aren't even on the level to discuss imbalance in a meaningful way, wouldn't know what to change without ruining the game and are your typical whiny person who can't approach things without tearing something down.

Finally: If the 10 best players mechanically, mentally and competitively all play Terran and it could be identified (herp why these discussions are retarded) , would tournaments need to make it so only 3 of those top 10 spots were occupied by Terran?

That's the problem. You don't know that these people aren't just the better players. You really fucking don't. All you see is the race and assume. Balance is not derived from 50/50% match-ups, nor are they derived from an equal split of participants. Until you can grasp that simple reality, you're going to be making stupid posts.
And on the pedestal these words appear -- "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

MC and Supernova are slucking pretty hard. MC getting outplayed in every single tournament really.

Supernova isn't all that good eaither anymore.

New blood comes in. You like it or not, here it comes.


Lmao. When you say "lately" you refer to IPL. Speaking of lately, let's refer to Code S, and Blizzcup. Yea Lucky is "better" alright lol.Supernova not that good? Oh I guess you really don't know what you're talking about lol. No point arguing with you when you couldn't be any more wrong.

No...just no...that would be such a huge convoluted mess of planning and payment options. Just learn to enjoy TvT or don't watch it..pretty simple.

No, it wouldn't.
You sort all games in 4 groups:
All
Terran
Protoss
Zerg
Now, you give people the option to buy either.
All: 100% cost
Terran: 50% + (15/32*50)% cost
Zerg: 50% + (8/32*50)% cost
Protoss: 50% + (9/32*50)%cost
This way, you still pay the 50% equal (organising, just basic cost + finals) and the second 50% is based on the amount of players your race has in Code S Group Stages. I think it might actually sell a lot more tickets because people that won't pay for TvTs they won't watch, will buy the tickets now.

By the way, how should I 'learn' to enjoy TvT. Why should I learn too? Because I HAVE to pay for it if I want to watch the GSL? That's nonsense. utter and total nonsense.

Makes no sense financially. It's much better for GSL to force people to buy whole-season tickets instead of letting them only watch the games they care about for less money. Especially as those people would buy the full ticket anyway for the matches they want to watch anyway. If anything when you get to choose which matchups you want to watch, the total cost is supposed to be much higher.

Also, TvT is amazing, just be happy it's not ZvZ or PvP.

I would imagine that people would be delighted if 90% of their selected race got knocked out in the first round, and they're unable to use their ticket to watch more than a couple of games for the rest of the season.

Not for leenock and jjakji, they both got to pick 1 person each from the lowest seeds.

Hey guys we all know ForGG was the easiest possible opponent for Leenock so obviously it was a good move, he knows ForGG can only cheese and as it's the style he's familiar with it should be an easy victory

Lennock: Yeah I'll pick this Fin guy I've never heard of him he must be bad.

TvT is an amazing match up, honestly. I'm hoping some of the people who hate it today aren't not hating it simply because they've stopped watching all TvT ever since it was just tank viking back in the beta, because it has evolved very quickly into a really exciting match up. That would be a pity.


On that note, I've been wondering. What if two terrans both play [pure] bio? I don't think I've ever seen this, even outside the GSL? It would be funny because it would be like a "normal" match up, haha.

Well, I watch the occasional TvT, but the differense between TvT and PP/ZZ is... It's just much slower. TvTs can easily stretch 40 minutes and while that might be interesting for some: I don't give a fuck about Terran.
I agree some matches are very interessting and highly paced, but some others happen to leave the casters to fill in 30 minutes of time because nothin interesting happens.
That is bad.
That is boring.
That, I dont watch....

I think TvT is pretty amazing, but I see what you're saying ... sometimes it takes forever to kill your opponent even if you're significantly ahead and/or have better macro. You see games where someone gets the advantage five minutes in, and the game still stretches out for 30+ minutes, because the guy with the advantage just can't close it up. It does offer more chances for comebacks though, which is pretty exciting.

Nice...He's called "The Pretender" for a reason. I heard he mindfucked polt by going bio against him on ladder but switching to mech in the gsl. Polt probably practiced more for bio, which is partly why he got dominated. Go fOrGG!

RELEASE THE GRA... oh my lord, that group!

Great group for NaDa though, I'm hoping this GSL he can have another deep run, NaDa in the finals would be perfect.

Like everyone else I can't wait to see how ForGG does in his debut season of code S.
