What do you guys think about this GOM eXP sub? Worth it? Is the streaming and VOD quality good? Are the VODs usually available quickly? Never been a GOM subscriber before but I'm considering it.

It's all off twitch now so vods are instant. Gom production is the best in terms of putting on a show.

The music is no different at all. Thank God they didn't remaster it.

Oh fuck me that's amazing, so glad they finally did this. So agree about the sounds as well, it's one simple area of the game blizzard could improve so much.

They need to make Ultralisk tusks to actually sound like motherfucking tusks instead of grinding pocket knives together.
Couldn't agree more with this. The Ultra's attack should sound ferocious, menacing, not that almost squeaky sound effect they have in place now. That's been bothering me for so long lol.

Yeah suppose you can't go wrong with GOM. I went with a premium sub for next year. Excited to have the GSL back.
 
Ladder is going insane. Sad for Xenocider and Illusion.

Illusion could have gotten in if he started way earlier and didn't have Byun and a smurf account blocking him from wins. The points are really close. Xeno could have won if he kept playing and got 40 points or more.

Man Demuslim just jumped like 4 spots LOL.

Wait, what? So ByuN has a smurf account in the Top 7 right now? He shouldn't qualify though.

Eligible players must be a citizen of any of the countries within the continental Americas, hold permanent residency status (green card) or hold a valid work visa. Proof will be required for each player prior to confirmation and announcement of the lineup. Any proven instances of attempting to manipulate ladder rank through practices such as win-trading or account sharing will result in immediate disqualification from the qualifiers. Players must play on an account with their real name or proven legal alias to participate. Blizzard will individually verify each account to ensure it's legitimacy prior to formal invitation being presented to the qualifying players.

And who the fuck is TtSYF.Hitman?

Yeah Byun has a smurf called Puppyking in honor of his dog lol.

He can't qualify just like Rank 1 ForGG can't qualify for Shoutcraft.

he probably faced him alot on ladder on got loses.

Yeah Byun and barcode Terran screwed over Illusion.

What a douche. Why is he playing on the NA ladder anyway? No wonder he sucks and hasn't shown any results in forever.

lol Byun is pretty bad after his breakout in GSTL HOTS. However its unfair to blame him for playing on NA when Taeja and a bunch of Koreans do it including ForGG.

I hope Byun makes a comeback in Proleague.

It happens Saturday and Sunday, huh?

Should be fun. Hoping for a Scarlett vs DeMu semifinal and I predict a Scarlett vs MajOr grand final with Scarlett taking the whole thing
with relative ease

Love all the cuts, HATE the addition of Habitation Station over other amazing maps from the Red Bull Map Contest like Graveside and Synapse.

Fuck gold mineral expansion maps.
Pretty much in the same boat. I think there were other, more deserving maps that could have been added. I'd also have liked to see Polar Night out of the pool. Replace that with the second GSL map or one of the RBMC maps you mentioned. Still, overall I'm just happy to finally be getting rid of these old maps. They were stale months ago.
 
Not happy that Aziuereijnf Stronghold is still in the map pool. Way too big and way too good for Oracles and Mutas. Oh well Vetoed again. Looking forward to the other maps though.

Oh yeah, most definitely. Bel'Shir Vestige and Akilon Wastes outstayed their welcome for too damn long.

Glad Derelict is gone too. It made for some fun TvZs on occasion but overall I don't like the ridiculous amount of empty space in the middle of the map. Too easy to retreat and doesn't really reward players who like to go for flanks.

Whirlwind, on the other hand, is an absolute classic. Wouldn't have even been mad if they kept that around for a bit longer.

So it looks like all the players and casters who will be participating in ASUS ROG NorthCon this weekend are all having the adventures of their lives just to get to Neumünster.

The storm to end all storms is apparently hitting Germany HARD and making seemingly all forms of transportation impossible. All flights have been getting canceled, routes by train are getting obstructed... people having to result to piling in a bus or hitching a ride in a car.

Some insane shit.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
