I'm sorry but why the hell are prime and startale seeded to second round while hoseo and fnatic who made it further than them need to go through the first round again?

It might work like the GSL Point Ranking system, where a Finals + (however far Prime and Startale got last season) gives more points that Fnatic's and Hoseo's performances.

I suppose that makes sense but I'll wait until they properly announce the next GSTL season.

IMHO TL should do more to encourage interview translations. Gfx team, writers, mods etc all have a special icon, we need one for translators as well.

Also (half )thanks Seeker, appreciated as always.
It was stopped because of format changes no?
When it started the GSTL was using a superior group format
Got rid of it because it switched from a league format to an elimination bracket. You'll note that the fantasy season ended when the GSTL went to the playoffs. That's because fantasy works better without elimination. Fantasy football/handegg also ends with the regular season and doesn't include the playoffs.
if you've had a Red Bull, you've had a Bacchus/Hot6iX.
Dude, this hurts your credibility quite a bit. Red bull and Bacchus is not even REMOTELY alike. Bananas and pizzas are more alike than Red bull and Bacchus.
i vote to have the OP post neutered and fixed , i dont find it appropriate that hot6ix is going out of their way to sponsor gsls, and this fucking OP is publicly insulting them saying their drink is basically shit. How ungrateful.

I think the main active ingridient is the same? Although Red Bull and Hot6iX is the better comparison. Bacchus, while containing the main active ingridient wasn't really marketed as a ENERGY drink. Red Bull, Hot6iX are.
I heard Bacchus is like really thick almost like cough syrup and tastes really bad. I really want to try Hot6 though. Im glad theyre back to sponsoring GSL again.

I don't care if the active ingredient is the same. What I'm saying is that no one on their right mind can say RedBull and Bacchus taste even somehow alike, let alone the same.

No, it's not thick at all. It flows like any drink out there would. As for the taste... yea it's not for everybody.

Yeah, Bacchus is not carbonated for one and has more of a herbal bitter aftertaste than Red Bull.

Pocari Sweat tastes like... Propel water but less sweet and citrus flavored with a different aftertaste.
Propel used to be good but now I think it tastes really different and just plain bad. I dont think Id like Pocari Sweat.

I live in Brazil. Over here we play this thing called soccer. It's the most popular sport. Oh, you live in US and don't know what it is? Well, you've played American Football, you've played soccer, since it's similar... notoriety wise.
Hope I've illustrated well your logic, and notice why sane people would find it strange.
I'd love to try a Hot6! I'm positive anyone could order a case from some venture or distributor. I'm always positive you would be paying a pretty shinny penny as well.

Yeah it's kind of unsettling
Yeah I kinda agree. It's inappropriate.
Definitely. Seeker thank you for doing this translation but your personal opinion on Hot6ix is better suited for Blogs, and not for a thread which is basically about Hot6ix being so nice to sponsor a lot of Gom stuff. Although is was kinda fun to read.
Also agree with nokz88, i definitely understand that sentence like him.

Yes, soccer has the same notoriety in Brazil as Football has in America they are both the most popular sports....I dont see how this is faulty logic.
I never said they were the same thing or even similar products, what I was saying is Red Bull is one of the most popular energy drinks in America, Bacchus is one of the most popular in Korea and thats how he was comparing them, not by taste. Five Hour energy isnt all that popular in America, Hot6 isnt all that popular in Korea and thats how he was comparing them, not by the taste. They are similar in notoriety in their respective areas, which is what OP was saying too. Neither of us were saying the taste is similar.
Pocari Sweat sucks, and it's expensive at my local Mitsuwa. The taste reminds me of melted lemon lime big stick popsicles. The saving grace for me was when I put it in the freezer until near frozen point; it was actually good and refreshing, but that's too much of a hassle.

Read the whole thing again. He's telling us how he went to Korea and tried this thing, and he's trying to explain to less fortunate people who never went to Korea what Hot6ix is and what it tastes like, and compares it to Bacchus.
And then he comes up with this:
if you've had a Red Bull, you've had a Bacchus/Hot6iX.
The whole shebang is about trying to explain how Hot6ix tastes, and then he compares it to something alike... in notoriety?
Hey we love to eat rice with feijoada over here. Oh you have no fuckin' idea what it is or what it tastes like. Lemme explain: It's just like hamburgers... notoriety wise. You've had hamburgers, you've had feijoada. I'm sure now you know what it's like. Glad to have helped.

uhh this is the single worst comparison I have ever seen.. burgers? Both Hot6ix and Redbull are energy drinks. Him saying that if you have had redbull you have had Hot6iX is a good comparison. Perhaps they taste very similar. A burger and rice are not the same thing.. His comments almost come off as if he is not comparing redbull's taste to the others anyways. It seemed as if he compared hot6 and bachus or w/e.
Sigh. If you can't separate translation from your personal opinion then it is best not to post at all. This was very unprofessional to read. I could feel the tiredness in it.

omg this thread turned hilarious for an outsider, and yes Seeker should definitely have a translator icon or something, or a bed icon to remind him of what he can never do. or something.

I didnt dodge the question. You said how does "this" sentence make sense. Because you said this, and not that, I thought you were refering to my initial statement. But Seeker said stop so im done with this conversation.
SeeKeR, I am so disappointed Anyways here's the full translation:
Hot6ix continues to sponsor the GSL for Seasons 4 and 5 During 2012, Hot6ix sponsors six out of eight GSL tournaments
The remaining seasons of the 2012 GSL tour have been infused with "Energy up! Power up, Hot6ix!"
On the 30th of August, GOMTV announced through their talk show, Baneling, that Hot6ix of Lotte Chilsung Beverages would continue to sponsor the GSL through Seasons 4 and 5.
Hot6ix began to sponsor the 2012 GSL tour during GSL Season 1. From there, having seen sales growth of over 10% compared to the previous year, it decided to continue and sponsor GSL Season 2 as well.
The rise caused by the GSL didn't cease. According to industry officials, Hot6ix's marketing budget, slated for cuts due to sluggish sales, was maintained due to the sponsorship of the GSL, and this was the driving force that allowed the Busan Haeundae finals and even terrestrial advertising [T/N: I believe this means advertising for the GSL, though I could be wrong] to happen.
Having seen the synergistic effects of the GSL-Hot6ix sponsorship, Lotte Chilsung Beverages chose to sponsor the GSTL Seasons 2 and 3, gaining great popularity with the fans, and just earlier decided to sponsor GSL Seasons 4 and 5.
Hot6ix has become a major sponsor for the GSL, sponsoring six out of eight seasons of the 2012 GSL tour. Out of the five GSL tournaments, Hot6ix has sponsored four of the events, with the only exception being the Monsieur J GSL Season 3. Out of the three GSTL tournaments, Hot6ix has sponsored two, with Season 1 being sponsor-less.
This ongoing sponsorship of the GSL by Hot6ix has allowed GOMTV to run a stable league from which both the league organizers and sponsors are able to benefit.
The Code S Ro32 of the Hot6ix GSL Season 4 is marked to begin on September 3rd, and the first round of the Hot6ix GSTL Season 3 will will start on September 7th, proceeding with the cooperation between the GSL tour and Hot6ix.

Hey guys Im a GSL noob. I want to watch it for the first time live tonight in a little over 3 hours. Where can I find the stream? Do I need to pay for it or is it free? Thanks <3
Without Jinro and Ret there was absolutely no way for Liquid to play in the GSTL anymore... which is fine, they are a free win right this second. Give them time.

just go to Gomtv.net make and account or sign in with your FB or twitter, and then you can watch when the stream goes life. There is a free stream but sadly is really bad quality but you can make due if you just started watching.

Hey now, Team Taeja is never a free win. And HerO just did really well last night. But yeah, it's disappointing but understandable that they won't be competing in the upcoming GSTL.

This. Sweat is not a word I associate with a tasty beverage.
irrelevant. It's not going to sell in English countries now is it? so who the hell cares what the name means in english. answer: only you.

The main reason they will not be competing is that they only have 4 active players in Korea at the moment. Jinro retired and HayprO left Korea. A co-op with another team (for instance EG who are in a similar situation) would have been an option, but -- alas -- it wasn't meant to be.
Can anyone say whether or not paying for gsl over another league like nasl is worth it? I only have time to watch one league and getting nasl would allow me to watch on ipad for free and the streams are 1080p compared to goms 560 which is pretty low res considering the other leagues. Thoughts?

It has a few drops of Reach the Mantoss sweat, some Flash tears, designed by the Hair toss Bisu, and quality controlled by Jaedong, and Finally packaged and marketed by Boxer.

I watch pretty much everything and I think NASL this season is going to be fantastic. There's even a promo code for $3 off now (maybe nasl_rotti?) For $13 you get around twice as many games in much much better quality, and the player pool is just about as good and perhaps more interesting. It's going to run for about 4 months while gsl already started. Also tasteless is really starting to bug me as a caster, while I love Rotterdam and I've really grown to respect Gretorp watching the NASL Hots stream. (For instance in the GSL LR thread, they were joking that they would bet anything that Tasteless has never seen a single By.Sun game let alone play ladder on his free time, meanwhile these NASL casters are running overnight Hots play marathons when the beta comes out)
