I mean fuck the people that pay money for this tournament and work may not have a chance to see what happened right away. I paid my money like I'm sure plenty of other people have only to see the results plastered right all over tl's front page. C'mon ya'll have got to be smarter than this. You don't see Oscar winning movie plots on the front page of every site covering the academy's. This is common sense. In the future for PPV events give at least a couple of days. TL dropped their spoiler policy for SC2 about a week ago now. There was an announcement. If you worked and couldn't watch the finals, you should have watched the finals before opening one of the premier SC2 news hubs in the world, regardless of their old spoiler policy. Past experience dictates that it's very likely the results will be spoiled somewhere you didn't expect to see them. Your comparison between GSL finals spoilers and movie spoilers is ridiculous. More apt to bring up sports websites/forums or newspapers, because they are analogous to what Teamliquid.net has become. Both of these mediums immediately post results to big games on their front pages. Lets say you missed the Super Bowl, but really wanted to watch it, so you record it. Do you cry when you walk by a paper stand the next day and find out who won the big game before watching it? | ||

Game 1 was a textbook standard PvZ for that map. Granted, Genius did some cute Phoenix control to come out of the first few attacks relatively unharmed, although he lost most his sentries. DRG overcommits a tiny bit on Genius´ third, giving Genius just the edge he needs and his deathpush rolls all over DRG. Unexciting to watch. Game 2 was Genius doing some weird all-in that would have worked if he didn't bungle his micro and flew his Void Rays around for a good 10 seconds instead of just nuking the Spore while lifting the Queen. DRG mopped him up from there. Exciting game to watch, especially with DRGs ovie placement, up until the moment where Genius for some reason pulls his VRs back. Game 3 was epic in a way that it was a total genius build, sending all sorts of wrong information to DRG. Genius stopped probes at 44, so basically he HAD to destroy the third or lose. DRG eventually figures it out, but then wastes a lot of larvae on lings that do nothing and Genius simply walks over his third. What´s exciting about this game is the tension `will this work or will it not´ similar to game 2. When DRG threw away about 40 lings in a vain attempt to delay the stalker ball you knew it was over though. Game 4 Genius goes double port and masses some Phoenixes, but DRG spots them when there are 4 out and also spots the dual stargate thanks to Genius conveniently placing them at the edge of his base. The game is basically over then, but Genius decides to embarass himself and bore the viewers by turtling with sentires and rushing carriers. Meanwhile DRG macro's up and kills him with his first attack. This game ended when DRG spotted the dual stargate and 4 Phoenixes. Totally dull. Game 5 was a copy of game 1 and Genius should have easily had this if he didn't move command his 4 sentries into like 15 Roaches and would leave a Zealot in his wall instead of losing his main Nexus to a ling runby. So what we get to watch is 2 players playing textbook and when things start heating up, one makes a juvenile mistake and throws the game. Funny enough, DRG trades army for economy and is wide open to a counter attack after the dust settles, but Genius runs the length of Metropolis a few times, giving DRG ample time to remax. Game 6 was on Crossfire, so basically after game 5 we knew DRG would take it 4-2. Even then, by some miracle, Genius *completely* outplays DRG for the first 15 minutes in some interesting engagements and when he has his giant stalker ball and kills the third the game gets really exciting. Muta's are harassing and all Genius has to do really is deny DRG a third while he takes his own. Of course, he first walks into infinity spinecrawlers and loses a third of his Stalkers and then in a fluke of what must have been amnesia, he splits his army in two, allowing half his stalker ball to get slaughtered. An easily won game turns into a race to see if he can kil DRGs third before the muta ball becomes too big to handle. Genius, yet again, walks his army back and forth a few times, attacks into horrible positions even though he has blink and hands DRG the title. Of all games, this one was the most interesting up until the moment where Genius decides DRG gets to win and runs his army into all the spines. Was it exciting games? Well, I guess. It's the GSL finals and the atmosphere was great. I didn't watch it live (7 am and all), but watched it before getting spoiled (really, you expect to come to this game's major non-Korean website and expect to browse it without getting spoiled... really?), and I sure liked watching it. Well worth the time spent. But great games? Meh... not so much. | ||

They really weren't considerate enough to those type of people. seriously agreed especially if you only visit once in a while how the hell are you suppose to know if their policies change? i do hope they send everyone a email notification about this cause this will most likely drag on way to let the members down teamliquid!! | ||

To everyone complaining about the new spoiler policy: Please take it to website feedback. There is almost no chance that the TL staff will even see your concerns if you post in here | ||

That's the new format, the current season is officially over. I think you're right about the 12+16 players. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/0/02/GSL_Sponsorship_League_format_2012_Season_1.jpg | ||
