Yeah that was apart of the reason i think.
The OSL finals had a peek of around 9000 viewers, Last night's GSL was around 17000 peek.

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?
I just woke up from the coolest dream I've had in a while...
So I was in a buss, singing Call Me Maybe, when the buss driver stopped the whole vehicle in order to tell me to shut the fuck up. As he stopped, Jaedong walked into the buss. My jaw dropped but the buss driver took him as just another passenger so this pissed me off immensely and I punched him in the face. Both of us got kicked out of the buss by this action.
Jaedong told me he had no place to stay for the night so I gladly invited him to my place. He accepted and when we arrived a second later (we instantly arrived to the place for some reason), he asked me who that was - and then points towards my MKP photos I have on my wall. I tell him something like "You don't know MKP?" and kinda just told him that he was a nobody (...), and then offered him to show him how to play SC2.
So we sat down and apparently I was still rocking one of those old CRTs - he smiled when he saw that I hadn't upgraded to LCD. After I showed him a replay of a TvZ, he then told me that we should play against each other - so we did. He went upstairs (where there are no computers irl actually, lol) and we started playing. I don't remember anything out of the match but I do remember absolutely crushing him. After that, he came to me and told me that it's no fun that I win so brutally - he doesn't learn anything from that.
We ignored SC2 and I asked him if I could watch him play BW and he said yes. This excited me so much, so we sat down and he started up the game... and that's when the dream ended
Fuck, why did I have to wake up?!

Have you actually won a game yet? Or are you just quitting every game. It might wait for you to win a game or 2 before it decides to place you in a league.
Not sure why you're tanking though. The metagame hasn't changed that much and it's pretty easy to jump back in. Id say even if you changed race it won't be long before you're up around masters level again.
Striek confirmed for Head of ESL

A bit off topic (going off topic in the starcraft thread no way !?) but I have 2 extra Dota 2 beta invites and I figured I'd offer it to SC2gaf first before going to the beta begging thread.
When that happens I hate myself for never learning how to lucid dream
Very mild GSL spoilers in the spoilers. If you want to watch the VODs and the first games just show the placeholder, then go to the next match between
Yoda and GuMiho
Rain had to withdraw his match because of MLG, that's why they just showed a placeholder

First ladder game of the season I'm playing a guy who I'm 99% sure was maphacking. Specifically the production tab hack. I still won because PvP on Daybreak is a joke, but goddamn seriously!?

Clarification: nobody goes gate gas forge with no scouting and no probe on the map without hacks.

Is WoL getting the same UI update as HOTS?

At masters, no way.
Going gate then gas then forge makes no sense even at silver unless you KNOW you're being proxy gated or cannon rushed.
Yes, eventually.
I'll be around this weekend if you're keen to play a few 2's.
(thats tomorrow for me ;P)
they're in spaaaaaaaaaaaace, they cant have rocks.

Pretty much this. They could have just named it "Uneven ground"
Sounds good!
LOL is so dull to watch. Playing it is okay, but I'm surprised people can sit through watching a match.
I'm busier than I thought this weekend and it's apparently impossible to find MLG Gold Memberships anywhere (why do they even fucking mention it still exists on the website when nobody carries it anymore? why the FUCK did they even decide to sell an online membership exclusively in two retail stores?) so I'll probably missing most of MLG this weekend. Oh well!
Corran Horn
May the Schwartz be with you
Gold was a fuck up on their part. Like part into the year they wanted to stop selling it but because people bought it or it was still in those few retail stores they still had to support it.

Someone probably had the wrong settings set. My guess at least.

you can double bunker the ramp too
actually, since you cant wall ramp to nexus anymore, can toss even forge expand on that map anymore? seems like you'd die to any 2 base aggro since the natural has two entrances and the first wall would have to be forward of the ramp. your wall cannons cant even protect your nexus. -.-
