I've been following these matches, actually.
It's fucking cool to see the immense skill of these players.
To bad both of you don't join in on the fun >:

Jaedong is an amazing player, but so is Flash. I'm just sad neither one is protoss altough Terran vs Zerg are the coolest matches.

I hear casual people plays wow. Soo I think that works against you.
Jaedong was the zerg player right? I think it was him who put on quite a damn show not to long ago.

Yeah, it's the best Zerg in the world.
He had a crazy comeback against somo... Lomo dude, it was badass as hell, I think it's the quarter or semi-final.
Helgeran made me start watching these and I'm stuck. I can't believe they can keep track of so many things!

I've been watching since the quarters..... stayed up tonight to watch finals. Amazing mutarape by Jaedong along with scourages screwing over any science vessels.

I think Flash had some good micro when he both killed scourges and radiated those damn things whatever their names are.

guardians.... and yeah flash played ok last game.. but i think jaedong wanted to let it be an EG win after 2 BG rapes. I didn't know jaedong could be so scary with mutalisks... i had mainly seen amazing defiler/lurker and zergling stuff by him.
What a disappointing final after all the hype. All the finals this season have been 3-0s except the PL final which was 4-1.
JulyZerg - BeSt 3-0 (Ever OSL)
ForGG - JaeDong 3-0 (Arena MSL)
Samsung KHAN - OGN Sparkyz 4-1 (Shinhanbank Proleague)
JaeDong - FlaSh 3-0 (GomTV Averatec Intel Classic Season 1)
All the other finals I enjoyed very much but this GomTV final not so much because of:
a) Stream problems
b) GomTV fails to put a good show on, probably because of lack of funds.
In all the other leagues they took time before putting the players against each other and there were HUGE stadiums full of people and you'd hear the cheers very well, in GomTV I think they drowned the outside sounds so you'd hear Tastless better and I'm sorry to say Korean commentators > Plott.
It's nice to hear someone speak a language that you actually understand but they need to get at least one more commentator with Tastless there, preferably someone Korean who has a deeper understanding of the game and speaks English(if such a thing exists..).
This played out more like watching laggy VODs than a true final, I hope next season GomTV will fix their problems with KeSPA and get a real stadium and give us a more refined show.
Though admittedly they'll probably need a lot more funds, recognition and support for that.
One can only hope.

I actually like Supreme Commander much more, fucks sake I want a job so I can get the expansion and play with more players, apparently they balanced it a lot better.
Needs more FBH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_8tRPIeRPQ (watch the ceremony at the end of the video at least, it's worth it, starts at about 12:30)
From the Proleague final yesterday, much more entertaining than today's final.

Supreme Commander had one flaw.
The slutty unit cap.
However i cant wait for Total War: Empire

If you ever played the Supreme Commander campaign, you would know that in the first missions you had to fight enemies with higher tech while you had low tech that meant an explosion in poor units, making it nearly impossible to defeat the enemy without playing for several hours.

I did, I guess you realy suck. I thought it was quite simple to just go al gunships, kinda like Total Anhilation.

That's why most players played Skirmish and Multiplayer... Durrrrr! :p
SC > al other RTS games.
It's fucking retarded to think it has nothing to do with macroing, the thing is, it requires BOTH micro and macro + goood timing.
But realy now, this isn't about what game is better then another soo lets stay on topic, if you don't happen to enjoy these matches then don't watch them.
Currently pro-SC has shifted to be more macro based, which is one reason why many of the old players don't do so well.

I don't really care about all the "glamour" and shit. To be honest I think it's silly, especially with those racing suits they wear!
GomTV whatever had okay quality on the replays on the website, you could see what was going on and I think Tasteless did good commentating (at least I understood what was going on half of the time thanks to him, I'm really bad at SC so yeah).
That's the important part, not how much firework you can shoot off or how many fangirls (fangirls, that's insane) you let in.

As bad as C&C is now, i prefer both the gameplay and the story over SC.

The starcraft tournaments are at least a lot more honest than other gaming tournaments I've seen for the most part if you look at the WoW crap they're basically trying to make the game into something it's not, just like south park did ( since when did the game have open pvp? ) yeesh.
Damn I swear these Korean commentaries dudes are on illegal substances... They just spam so fucking much I can't concentrate on the game.

A live show is more than just the games, if you want to just see games you can download the replays of them afterwards. Also the insight of the Korean translators is a stupefying.

That video when he ran around on the stage in only boxers was fucking awesome, by the way. Very nice to some fucking happiness! I guess when I become better I might want to have more "hardcore" translators, but right now I can barely remember what all of the units in Stacraft do.
Edit: Would've been badass if it was "Boxer" running around lol.

Why won't firefox let me watch...? Says something about the protocol not being affiliated with any program.
This GOM player thing....

This may seem like a stupid question, but have you clicked the play button? The videos never start by themself and I can start to look at them instantly, they aren't very high quality.
