A thread I always wanted to make. In the ~2 days until Vods are up somewhere, many hidden and not so hidden traps are lurking. Feel free to add.
Youtube
- read comments accidently
- no Anti spoiler vod: only three vods added for a best of 5
- bad Anti spoiler vod, the "no way": 6 minute TvT
- bad Anti spoiler vod. the "can't be unseen": PvT BO5 shows a Hatchery in the preview Pic for set 4
- bad Anti spoiler vod, the "I've seen you before": set 4 has the same preview Pic as set 3
- bad Anti spoiler vod, the "bad rating": set 5 has only a 3 star rating instead of 5 Stars (back when YT was a good site)
Teamliquid
- Liquibet = death
- Elo Peeks thread pops up
- fanboy threads pop up
- Random Pics thread contains loser's facepalm
ICQ
- lol you see how JD roflstomped Kal lol
RL
- Yo dude have you seen that? Flash lost to Hyuk, he's out man!!!
|
thread with a title revealing who won and asking for discussion
ex: "[D] What could Flash have done to win?"
|
now a days, i feel like its actually quite hard to spoil yourself unless you actually try. TL's pretty good at closing any thread titles with blatant spoilers.
And a lot of people overlook the VOD tracker which usually has torrents up soon after the games. wfbrood also has vods posted shortly after the game.

small vod thread
all problems avoided
|
That's why you have to watch it live. Would never a VOD of a football match. Following an obscure sport (outside of Korea and TL) takes some dedication.
When I miss a game, I personally read the LR thread to try and grasp some of the emotions that went through the match. Then if it sounds any good, I'll watch it, not caring that I know who won.
For SC2: Fanclub thread visible on the sidebar.
Also, the allkill thread.

Yeah, don't use youtube to follow starcraft. Small VOD thread is a must for anti-spoiling

Accidentally figuring out how many sets there were in a match, and being able to deduce who wins a game based off that. (For example if you know there were 6 games, and its 3-2...)
You have to watch out for this on PLU especially.

At least the VOD/YT problems. Bad names for threads are generally close/renamed pretty quick, so as long as nobody IRL (chances are probably pretty low) and LQbet doesn't get you I don't find it too hard.

alffla's fantasy's gg timing thread anti-spoiled lolol
|
Lol whenever I open a live report thread of kt and theres like 60 pages of discussion it means flash has lost. I remember a year ago when KT played hite and Flash lost to effort and then the ace match to snow. There were literally over 80 pages in a LR thread for an ordinary proleague match. Hmmmm, I wonder what happened 
|
Bad Anti spoiler vod: The map in the preview pic doesn't match with the map order of a set.
Happened to me too many times.

I didn't mean to get Anti spoiler tipps but the small Vod can't be mentioned often enough, especially for our newer members. Yeah, it is not really hard but it still happens to me on a regular basis that I get spoilered from a yet unknown angle.

lol :D
My best Anti Spoiler was from my Youtube viewer days when Flash bunker rushed Fantasy (or 2 other big names) in game 5 and the TvT video was only like 4:30 minutes long.

A few more:
Youtube:
-video icon shows burning terran structures (how flash losing to hyuk was spoiled for me)
-for TBLS, the number of likes. More likes means TBLS raped, multiple dislikes means TBLS lost.
TL:
-speed at which winner's interview was translated. If it's posted within 4 hours that means SKT/KT/Oz/Khan or TBLS won
|
I always end up spoiling it for myself. I'm like "i forget who even played two days ago!" and then go lurk the tourneys, end up in the thread themselves, and inevitably: "Well i'll just check the recommended games!" "but who's playing" "oh god"
T.T i suck so much at not spoiling myself!
|
I want to add -All Kill List thread pops up
+ Show Spoiler +]didn't really want to watch the SKT1 game but it was the last remaining from the last 2 days for me and no all kills till then... (still congrats fantasy!)
and with that guy uploading to own3d.tv it also spoiled for Oz vs hite  + Show Spoiler +the first game being linked at that site is set7 -.-

lol, you have real life friends who talk about SC? lucky...

back when cheep was more active translating, if you saw stx/whoever interview posted instantly in the sidebar or saw stx/whoever interview translated by cheep in bw forum you knew stx won

This goes for me and SKT too lolz. But I usually don't check for interviews immediately after matches, so that lets people get caught up with results a little.

when the "recomended games" section says something like "winner uses exelent harass, really entertaining" and then when you watch the game toss storm drop early.
|
haha. I think many of have experienced these spoiling moments when you least expect them.
Once, was a YT preview pic of the dude taking of his headphones in disgust, and the other looking nonchalantly forward.
And last round's Oz vs KT game, where I had to sleep early and missed the game. And after running back home the next day, my brother had an IM that said, "lol, they didn't even need Flash lolol"
....That made me so angry haha
