GomTV use battle.net to play games. I imagine that there is very little lag, however, considering how good Korea's internet infrastructure is.

Idra is playing from the US so lag won't be a problem.

but in the GomTV tourney, they're all in the same place....right? or was that a production trick to make it appear as such?

Yeah. They're all in the same studio. They play through battle.net though because there's no LAN client currently.

Day9 and the best NA players on the weekend? I think not. :D
Hoping for HuK vs IdrA.

Huk to win tournament, idra to win super final.

Wooo. 1/2 so far.

I kind of feel there should be a cinematic of Idra emerging from the ground after Huk thinks he has completed the game...

Impressive play from HuK this weekend. So much better than his BlizzCon performance.

Toss players learning the value of Sentries. that's the biggest difference in all Protoss players as time has gone along. people have gone from having one or two of them to having 5 or 6 of them per army group.

what new twist am I looking forward to most? more use of Hallucination.

I can't wait.

The GOMtv tournaments are in Seoul, Korea. And the Korean battlenet servers are in Seoul as well. So not much lag there.

Because Starcraft-GAF is the best Starcraft community out there.

But no seriously, it's all just Slasher.

EDIT: I think he just feeds djWheat some info on communities that are active. We got shoutouts at MLG DC as well because of him. Not sure what his exact affiliation is, but he keeps us posted on some tourneys and gives us shoutouts.

slush creep spread has been pretty poor these last 2 games.

I wasn't watching too much, but I did see HuK having an observer around in at least the first game. Also heavy pressure means that if you pop up a creep tumor it'll just die since the Toss's army is sitting right there. Then you have to drag your queen out or miss an inject, so the constant pressure causes the energy to go to larva instead.

More importantly HuK goes Zealot sentry in the beginning and isn't afraid to sac his zealots for a trade. He knows that the early pressure forces lings and HuK gets that sweet, sweet early +1 to have his zealots 2 hit lings. In almsot every game HuK get 6-8 sentries before even making his first stalker and just masses an absurd amount of energy before transitioning into stalkers (if he needs them) to clean up (and survive) then gets his expo and robo.

It's just really really clean PvZ. Can't wait for IdrA to play him, I think HuK will come out on top using this kind of strategy unless IdrA has specifically prepared for this kind of build and aggression.

Everything is moe to me
its the kind of build that calls for baneling support, which isnt really standard fair in pvz.

i also think idra will be fine.

On battle.net for the gsl: I think gom have some kind of special deal with blizzard, perhaps a server of their own for the tournament to run on. I remember that artosis said during a cast that its imposible to message the players from the outside world because of something special blizzard did for them, so it could be something like this.

On slasher: He works with djwheat to make his various shows.

Hey I'm rooting for IdrA, but this is a hard early game tactic to respond to, especially since IdrA is the more macro player.

Like I said, if he has a solid gameplan for the early game, he'll be fine.

they set up new battlenet ID's for everyone for each tourney so that noone knows what thier ID is and thus cant message them, at least thats how i remember it being described.

[16:16:09] mairu in space: but used special IDs

Too lazy to retype that :(
