This is a website for English-speakers to watch matches that are aired for the Korean time zone. Real sports analogies don't apply. In BW, this was obvious, and there weren't spoilers. At some point, because there were so many NA and EU timezone matches, people started wanting instant results threads with spoilers since they watched the matches live. And that's fine! But applying the same logic to Korean matches makes no sense. Agree, doesn't make sense to spoil the results when the timezone plays a huge difference. A grace period seems appropriate considering TL is a community, not just a news site. In our current BW coverage, we still don't use spoilers and I would hate to think that I spoiled the tournament for a reader. | ||

 In fact there hasn't been a no spoiler policy since 2012 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tl-community/314832-tl-frontpage-redesign-and-event-coverage-changes | ||

This is no longer the case. Of course the change was not recent, but KeSPA Cup has brought to light how problematic it is for Korean events in which international fans are heavily interested in. | ||

Well, KeSPA Cup was an entirely new situation when it comes to news. First, the only coverage for Korean events is usually previews with silly puns in the title, with no specific recaps. Second this was the first tournament this year, and the only I recall at all, which got an individual recap for every day. This is usually not a thing TL does even for multi-day tournaments. It was so... different. | ||

I can totally understand why they are doing it but TL was my go to website for finding vods of events, i will use reddit or youtube/twitch if i really don't want to get spoiled from now. Although, reddit isn't any better. I could understand Neeb was the kespa cup champion since /r/starcraft was filled with posts like "Didn't think I would ever see something like this in Korea" or "Remember when people were laughing at Aligulac because it ranked Neeb in the top 10?" P.S: I normally don't miss on events this big so it is not a big problem for me. But i didn't have access to internet at all times for the last week, so i had to watch kespa cup from my cellphone later | ||

If I was paying to put up ads I'd probably not like the removal of this feature.. since people like myself will simply avoid the site until they can catch up on the vods | ||
