And this-slightly-longer-than-usual-week we've had quite a few gold nuggets. We've proven that GG.net forums can help you with anything, people have done some ass kissing, we've been dreaming ourselves away to a better world (one where there is an actual Beta), and we've had Fantasy vs Jaedong! And, as every week, more than that!
Let's start out this week with something random. It's slightly old now, but I didn't want to post it before the trail went cold for certain authorities. GG.net community will help you your most dire moments in life: Like when you need to hide a body. tacoWraps and Front242 are the go-to-guys in these situations. Clearly.
Continuing with random, unimportant stuff: Join the sucking up! And yes, flattery does pay of at GG.net. Each poster will be awarderd extra star points! Seriously.
We are all waiting for it. And I'm sure this has happened to quite a few of us by now. What if you actually finally saw that email in your mailbox? The beta is available now! It would be just like this.
Over to some actual community news recently. We all know Ret has left ToT for ESC. Funny how everone is referring to it as him "leaving ToT", not "joining ESC", btw. Anyway, it also seems Yayba left ESC at the same time. Read about it here, After Ret left, ToT did some recruiting themselves. Probably not to replace Ret or anything, because it seems nobody really knows who this new guy actually is. Anyway, give it up for Chilean ToT)Seifer(!
We also had the epic showmatch between Rekrul and Artosis being settled now! It's seriously hard to get a more epic semigosu showmatch than this! Read all about it!
What could possibly be more epic than Rekrul vs Artosis you ask? Well, I'd say OSL Semi JaeDong vs Fantasy would probably qualify. Does JD fall in to terrible slump after the ProLeage finals where he got stomped, or will he once again be the Phoenix and rise from the ashes? How will Fantasy fare vs this monster in a new BO5, this apprentice of geniuses?
Have you ever thought about what happens to all those random contests all over the place? Beta keys, T-shirts, random hardware stuff? Apparantly, there are actually peaple who win them for real. Never really thought about that...
I will leave you this week with three replay packages. Exotic, secluded and very much isolated Chinese G-league, much more familiar ICCup A rank rep pack and a YGosu 1.16.1 mega package.
And finally before I exit the stage this week, this is how real men practice Starcraft!
