Few things in life beat pizza and movies, and we've got the StarCraft equivalent. Relive some of the most entertaining StarCraft matches in history while sitting down to a Papa John's pizza on us.
We're having a VOD Night with BaseTradeTV! Relive some of the greatest moments and games with us at our online viewing party on Discord, where we'll get to hang out, share a laugh, and hopefully not balance whine too much.
The first 100 Americans will get a free Papa John's pizza to enjoy while we watch! Claim your free pizza below!
We've compiled a list of VODs that we think we'd all love to rewatch, and it includes:
GuMiho vs MMA on Antiga Shipyard from GSTL 2012 S2 Grand Finals
ThorZaIN vs MC on Tal'darim Altar from TSL3
MaNa vs FireCake Just kidding we're not masochists
Idra vs MMA on Test Bug from MLG Columbus 2011
And many more!

Man I am really enjoying this. Makes me miss MLG. There was something special to staying awake the whole night, to watch this from europe and see who was the last european in the LR thread .
Unpopular opinion: Mvp vs Squirtle Game 5 was one of the most overrated games of all time. Nothing but turtling for the first half and only popular because BC archon toilet. If it weren't in a GSL finals no one would care, but the Mvp circlejerk is strong.

I wonder how big the online playerpool is
you find games. but ranking through took me forever for some reason (did it 1-2 months ago), like 30-0 or something until I hit diamond and then it took nearly as long to rank to masters. dunno why, maybe they never set back mmr properly and now everyone's is really high and when you start from 0 it takes forever to catch up
The fact that the poll swings so fast after the first banelings is my favorite part of this game. The fact the last banelings are hidden by the overlay is my least.

Yes, not sure about the Pizza Party at an NA event, but they delivered on everything else now and this VOD night was also partly to make up for the delays.

Some of them...
Quote from Nazgul: "It is safe to say that not delivering on all of the tiers for Papa John's is something I am not proud of. I take our word very seriously and it saddens me deeply that we did not come through on this within a reasonable timeframe...Out of all the tiers promised 8/10 tiers were delivered on." '
If only he was saddened deep enough to make it right.

This event + the grudge matches were steps towards that. Not sure what else you want Naz to do.

If you've ever read Plato's Republic, one conclusion is perhaps the only defensible definition of justice is doing what you say you will do. Anything but is an injustice that is condemned by all, even yourself.
"For the pizza party the difficulty is that there are basically no events for StarCraft to do this at nowadays. "
Host a LAN event in NA then for the pizza party.
"For the showmatches cross-game is a difficult concept more fun in word than in practice."
Well, then why was that an option? The community didn't come up with the options, Team Liquid did... do what you say you would do. Get us some cross-game showmatches!
Honestly, the degree to which this matters isn't much. But it is the principle that matters.
Anyway, when it comes to making things right you go above and beyond when you wrong someone. Delivering incredibly late with substitutions because the initial promises made were deemed "too hard" to follow through on by the people who made them, isn't making things right. (That is actually textbook bait and switch marketing, which is illegal...) It may make things right in the minds of a few, and perhaps it makes things right in the mind of Nazgul, but at no point is this going above and beyond for the community that was wronged.
But the promotions probably made TL some money. And that was what really mattered.
