My account is free from the shackles of the authenticator that was on my broken iPod! Hooray! And I only had to take a picture of my driver's license and send it to Blizzard. I guess if your real name isn't on your Bnet account you are totally boned.
Now to add one in for my new iPod and actually write down the "restore code" thing.
Playing last night made me think that I might try to get back into playing more again.

May the Schwartz be with you
I'll tvt you
what a shitty agreement they made
even if naniwa deserved punishment that's extremely deceptive to both mlg, the viewers, and the competitors who were there
You really believe that anyone anywhere would sign away their ability to exclude players based on their conduct? Maybe you should read some ToS because every one you read will include a bit where they reserve a right to give you the boot for any reason.
it would be a shitty agreement if they signed that away.
I think he's referring to the change GOM made without notifying MLG. Not the kick of Naniwa. Though ToS' always have a term that they can change things whenever they want too :lol
Naniwa - MLG relation
1. MLG says the highest placing non Code S player gets a Code S spot.
2. Naniwa Wins -> MLG has an obligation to Naniwa
MLG - GOM relation
1. GOM says that the highest placing non Code S player gets a Code S spot, but according to MLG they are allowed to change this whenever they want.
2. GOM changes it's format, doesn't inform MLG.
On top of that GOM actually used their invites to Providence, which makes the fact that they didn't inform MLG extraordinarily strange.
I'm pretty sure when I say that GOM is not a very good business partner.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Of course they will. That doesn't mean GOM is going to die out or anything but it will be better for the viewers since competition will force companies to produce better shows.
(And maybe lower prices on subs too)

Good thing custom games are the only thing most GAFfers play now-a-days.
I'm worried that we are seeing the beginnings of a KeSpA for Starcraft II.
^
I was obviously referring to MLG's agreement with GOM
I love how people spout all this bullshit about Korean honor when the shady shit that's happened this year is mostly coming out of Korea.
ROFL. Wow, he does look like a little kid.

I will be!
The only one in Korea who can challenge GOM is OGN, and they're even MORE restrictive and authoritarian. OGN also has a terrible track record of interacting with foreigners and does not care at all about having foreign viewers.
GOM isn't perfect but it will improve with time, and it's probably going to be the only Korean Starcraft league that provides English commentary for the lifetime of SC2.

In a recent interview (in Chinese), the coach of the Chinese team Invictus Gaming, iG.EdIsOn, revealed that he is planning to organize a China Union Team to participate in GSTL after Chinese New Year (23rd, Jan).
EdIsOn said during his stay at WCG, he talked with some Korean coaches about setting up a team for GSTL. He is still in negotiation with GOMTV over some details and expects to get confirmed ASAP. Once confirmed, he will set about organizing the team. The China Union Team will consist of around five players from different Chinese teams.
So if everything goes well, they are expected to appear in GSTL 2012 Season 1 (27th, Jan).
Awesome!

So I'm a total scrub looking for some peeps to do some comp stomp, and maybe graduate to actual versus play. Having Skype and a mic is preferred. Anyone interested? Send me a message on here, or add me on Steam. I'm not sure what my account "name" is on SC2, or if it's just my email--which, obviously, I won't give out here.

Watch out we got a Gold Leaguer here.David Kim thinks the balance is good?
David Kim should watch the last funday monday, where one player gets moneydumped and makes only marines all game, then kills large armies composed of units that "hard counter" marines, including tanks, banelings, and colossi. Just sayin'. The guy didn't even micro. Just a-moved and killed !@#$. 7 tanks and a few colossi supported by other units vs about 60 marines with a few medivacs, and the marines won? Yeah. Balanced.
If only foreigners could get their act together and form a new F.United team with Huk, Idra, Jinro, TLO, MorroW, Naniwa, SaSe for GSTL.
watch out, we got a plat leaguer here.

So, I'm still just playing against the computer to get more comfortable with Zerg, but I think I am! I think I have the opening down to where I'm comfortable using it, I just need to learn how to manage larvae better, and how to transition to the mid-game. And how to scout. And how to be more aggressive. And...
play team games like a true champion.

I can listen to this forever
Me too! The most in a row I ever managed must've been like...12. Maybe. Probably 8-10.
Of course, TvT tends to drag those numbers down...
