I hated how the rounds were set up, they set up teams that were in seeded in the 30's against each other so one cal-im team would face a cal-o team and knock the cal-o team out. So all 6 of the guys on the cal-o team get to play one match for 300 dollars (50 dollars a person to play). It just feels like so many teams (including mine) went down there with no expectation of winning anything, some teams not even a single match, and paid all that money for it.
oh snap I didn't know he played at that CPL.

I worked at CGS with Greg before it collapsed so I've been in gaming production stuff before. It's better than before but a lot of the same misconceptions are floating around.

also i should start playing sc2 again since i went to the midnight launch, did my placement matches then promptly stopped playing. now i just watch matches all the time and laugh at people calling idra an asshole for making fun of crunchers alleged fatness
I'm Israeli actually but I do have a high tolerance for spicy food and curries. Idra is a funny, I enjoy when he rages, he had a lewltastic couple games + bm exchange with minigun last night on his stream.

Yea our shooter/editor and casters are flying out to Ohio tomorrow and friday. They're going to be doing interviews with the players and a big event on Sat at the sushi place across the street from MLG. Here is a pic from yesterday when we did a dry run of the setup for the interviews

Everyone says that we're catching up to the koreans, it's so far from true, watching GOM versus the top NA leagues is like night and day. I wish it wasn't true.

I couldn't agree more. The euros are ahead of NA in terms of skill also but still not enough to pose a threat to the koreans.

GL was a pretty decent team. Good group of guys. They were always quasi affiliated with GsS I thought.

NS was a ton of fun. I think the source version is still in beta.

NS2 broke off from source and made their own engine from the ground up. Still in beta which is only to those who preordered it a while ago
