The ticket does last for a season. So this whole super tournament = covered by the 10 bucks. I never notice ads, but I think that's because the times I bought my 10 dollar ticket there were no ads ever. Even so, I think 15 seconds in between games to tell you to buy GSkill memory isn't too big of a deal.
Just go for the standard 10 with ads.

I wish GSkill made the ads that GOM plays. It's always those stupid Bing and Chase ads that get really old after the 3rd time you hear them.
That being said though, they're only 30 seconds and come right before the actual games so they aren't that bad.

I was suspecting this. I won 15 of 17 matches, and my opponent was favored in ALL 17 matches, and I saw no promotion. In my first 35 wins this season, I only had about 10 losses. Still stuck in Silver... :\
I want to get out of this league not to just say that I'm no longer in Silver, but the matches are getting really predictable. I'm winning like 80% these days in 1v1, and I see the same tactics from each race.
Protoss - 4gate fail, they lose to my counter push. If not that, they go too heavy on colossi and lose to my viking/tank/marine mix.
Zerg - They rush too quickly to Brood Lords and Infestors, they lack upgrades to keep up
Terran - They go for tanks, but they try to do it off of 1 or 2 base and can't keep up with production. They lose to my superior tank/viking count.
I'd rather be back to winning 50% of games and seeing more interesting games.

You mean the same ads we see for every stream we watch as well?
$10 ticket it is! I'm excited. ^_^

Watching Destiny play as protoss and fuck up hardcore and still win handily makes me sad.

Doesn't the article say it is more to do with platinum to diamond players though?
I've taken like over a week long break right now from SC2 with all the big games coming out and my schedule, but I hope this issue gets ironed out if it exists. I know I have a big margin of wins in my gold ladder and was sitting at #1 forever while I was constantly beating platinum players. I'll have a big bonus pool when I come back to it soon, and if this issue is real and fixed, then I'll hit platinum relatively quickly.
Schedule for the Friday stream for MLG Columbus is out
http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/17#watch_it_live_online
Thats a ridiculous schedule. So many great games.
You can vote for which other 3 matches you want streamed at 5.30, 6.30 and 7.30 here but the results are heavily favoured for one matchup in each vote already, so it looks like its kiwi vs mma, tlo vs losira and select vs idra.

That's a pretty grueling schedule for the pros too. Wish I could watch.
And just purchased the GSTL ticket !!

Sorta. It's less pressure on them since they all make it to the championship bracket. This just determines seeding. MUCH less games than the people coming up from the open bracket.

why on earth did I just play a game on scrap station, when it's one of the maps I've thumbed down in the map preferences?
Also, how am I supposed to beat a drop heavy terran as a protoss? The only way that I don't lose massive amounts of probes is if I spot it immediately, have my units in my base and have blink on the stalkers. It's also not possible to ever move out unless I invest obscene amounts of minerals in cannons, which don't really help me if I want to defeat the terran.

2-0 tonight, felt good, although I'm sick of only facing Terrans in Bronze league. They never expand.
A fun replay where my opponent ONLY MAKES THORS.

Thumbed down maps can still appear while laddering, just very very rarely.Trickster said:
Keep one or two Zealots/Stalkers in your mineral lines along with a cannon. Yes, it will slow down your main army and push, but if he really commits a lot to drop-heavy play he can't get super far ahead of his own.

Honestly, I should have expanded multiple times during that game, especially once I realized he wouldn't do anything about it. I could have had seven bases all safe, with the ability to hit 200 supply in the matter of one production cycle.
EDIT
EG Master's Cup is suffering from the casting. I think it is DJWheat and inControl.

May the Schwartz be with you
Updated OP with links to new gaf tourny and gsl tourny. For the lazy *me*
Only few teams I care about, one of them is not playing (TL) and the other is EG and thats only because of like 2 players.
EG suffers from the who cares about non korean teams in such a long period. I think it would work better in a prior GSL format of one weekend.

Both the first and second "youre screwed" 's are so damn ironic. Glad to see you beating him soundly.
Oh, and at one point I was like "awesome should do _______" and then you did it. Moving on up, man.

GG man! Siege tanks are pretty amazing!! You could've absolutely demolished that guy if you would've built more than ~35 SCVs, but your unit composition was enough to get the job done.
I found it funny that your opponent went overkill with missile turrets, but still left quite a few blind spots for drop harass in his base for a while.
I think it is:Keikaku said:
Gas/Pool first + 8 lings early on + speed with good control. (2 rax pressure)
Snipe early scv's bunker and catch reinforcements instead of fighting the main force.
After that I don't know. Queen + ling production?
If it is the all-in I don't know. I remember months ago there was some pool first / hatch first larva count management crap, but the maps are bigger now (unless you get close spots, then you die).

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?
So I just came back from a job interview... I ended up talking about SC2 to the boss for approximately 15 minutes (out of the 30 minutes I had with him).
Guys, what do you think? Will I get the job?

edit: I even mentioned Neogaf and I was THIS close mentioning Panda to him...

Haha, it was just weird man...Pandaman said:
We started talking about why I should be getting this job and stuff like that. Then all of a sudden he asked me about my hobbies. Of course, I had to mention SC2 and I discussed how the game works (I mentioned how op ff is...). Then he asked me if there's a community for it, and here's where GAF came in :lol
Oh shit, he might even read this sometime... HIGH possibilities of that so in case, I'll just say: Hello sir, I had a great time with you two
You can truly see how dedicated I am in this community! Hoppas så otroligt mycket att jag får jobbet!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJMzuARnXmk&feature=player_embedded#at=198Pandaman said:

Every Terran should bunker block a zerg's ramp who goes 14/14 just to make a point about shitty ladder maps.
