The VODs can be found here: http://www.afreeca.com/estv01/ and then you have to click on the "전체보기" right over the VODs toward the bottom of the page and then go to page 3. The url stays the same all the time, so you'll have to navigate a little on your own. Other VODs can be found on http://estv.kr/Vod. It seems there's been some group play with the losers from the first round. I tried to update  WSL with it, but I haven't checked out the VODs yet myself, so there's no scores or anything up yet. Feel free to add them yourselves if you watch them. Just log into LP with your regular TL username and password and click edit. | ||

I'm a huge fan of starcraft as a competitive activity, however I don't want to watch TLO play innovation. I'd rather see a top level zerg like Soulkey or Symbol duke it out. I've never cared about race or gender I just want to watch insanely good matches between the actual top level players. If I want anything other than that I'll had over to Husky's channel and watch Rotterdam go carriers or whatever other cute thing he uploaded that week. Making a post about an all female league is the equivalent of making a post about how some YouTube hero is holding a tournament between just foreigners. | ||

This thread is for them. Do you also complain about PewDiePie and other people doing the whole "Let's Play" gig of terrible games? | ||

They're added to the brackets on WSL now  They're the only ones I bothered to add right now.. Feel free to add additional info to the bracket if you watch the games. You just add the name of the map where it says "map1=" and the number 1 or 2 where it says "map1win=". Aphrodite is 1 and LING is 2, so if Aphrodite won the first map and if that map was, say, Icarus (I don't know which map is the first, so this is an example), then it should look like:|map1=Icarus |map1win=1 |vodgame1=http://etc. | ||

COME ON KHALDOR, be a nice guy and stream it like you did the GSL qualifiers ZombieGrub said earlier that she might be interested in doing it, but I don't know if she meant officially for ESTV or just voice-over on the vods. Anyway, all the vods are added to the Liquipedia page now, so it should be fairly easy for anyone to provide a casting for the existing vods if they feel like it (although I'm unsure how that would go down with copyright etc. This isn't Brood War times anymore...). | ||

just perused through some of barbie and aphrodite's games. seems like none of the other girls are anywhere near as good or as pretty as the 2 of them. the other girls play like they're ridiculously nervous too. it might have been better to just stage a aphrodite vs barbie showmatch just to get to the point. the highlight so far of these games for me are aphrodite's outfits each time she plays or casts. | ||

I think they're tomorrow (tuesday) at 20:00 KST, but I'm not entirely certain (not speaking Korean). An earlier vod claimed that OTL was gold league, but she's beaten both a platinum and a master player, so that may have been a smurf (or misinformation). Or she may have cheesed her way to the finals. I haven't watched the games properly, so I'm not quite sure. A gold player just won't beat a masters player, cheese or not. | ||

Making a post about an all female league is the equivalent of making a post about how some YouTube hero is holding a tournament between just foreigners. Well, I also don't understand people's fixation with players based on nationality or skin tone or gender, I just like to see the best games. Though while I can't understand it literally, I can rationalize and accept that people are different, thus have different tastes, thus enjoy different things from me. And so there are people that just enjoy seeing their favorite player despite the fact said player will probably never win a tournament in his life, I can't understand why, I just need to accept it. However, more relevant, there are people that like to see the best games from the best players, but they also like to, and want to see the next generation of gamers rise, be they foreign, Korean, male or female. And while; watching Mvp work his magic or Bomber macro his heart out, or Innovation parade push someone to death; never gets old I still want to see new faces and I want to see if or not they can rise to the challenge and reach the top, if they can become champion contenders because, ultimately its exciting to also see someone new come into the scene and shake it up a bit. Hopefully more initiatives like the WSL come about, I really do need to check out the vods in my spare time. | ||

So gold in Korea is like high masters/low GM on US  Jokes aside, I just remembered that there was something weird about the league placement of one of the players and I double checked and got my suspicions confirmed: OTL was originally presented as a bronze player. Then, later, they had upped her to gold. Smells of smurfing. | ||
