they don't do daylight savings time or something
I really like it when the games are at 1:30 instead of 2:30...
ok since i saw no warning in OP, is there anything special I need to do to get a livestream? just downloaded and installed Tvants and nothings happening at YY except it loading for a few seconds then nothing.
go.go has golaiths out, I doubt 910 has cloak, 910 loses a tank crucially, but it still doesn't look like go.go can break this contain. 910 has a bunker out there and MY STREAM IS FROZEN WTF YAOYUAN
at this point I assume go.go is behind, but I can't tell
go.go lands his barracks in 910's base and starts making marines. lol.
go.go forced to lift his nat cc, it's in the red and wraiths are hitting it
it looks like 910 has taken his nat now
this stream sucks, if this keeps up I'm going to bed
910 pushing out now, trying to break the contain go.go had at his nat
unfortunately, he has no goliaths, and go.go just drops on his sieged tanks
well
he had enough tanks so he still has a sizable tank force
firing line established in the middle of the map
lol, sci facility with covert ops in the middle of the map for go.go, now getting shelled by 910
ghost out for go.go, a nuke silo is going up at one of his expos
seriously, this is supposed to work?
both players have half the map now, I think 910 is in a slightly better position b/c of his army size and OMIGOD MASSIVE DROP IN 910'sS MAIN HOLY COW 8 TANKS SIEGED DESTROYING EVERYTHING

I didn't understand that part in the original post, could you explain it more?
This match is event match with the Beautiful Foundation. so MBC game will donate 10% of prize money by the name of players(in this case, by name of go.go - Kim, Chang Hee - ; 910 didn''t get any prize money).
i've lost all hope in 910.. I expected him to suck, but 7-0? seriously, quit SC please. Its not like he was up against Flash or something. There's a limit to how much someone can possibly fail in pro SC... and this is it. Pack your bags, go home.

and nice paycheck for go.go he has to be dammmn ii won the lottery on player pool have fun with that sea savior lulz
EDIT: will this count towards tlpd wins cause if so gogo is already at like 60.8% or something this will make him look like a huge gosu, not to say he not playing well
Woaaah 910 you fuucke'd up bi-g taiimmeee!! He will never be able to talk back to the bug terran again, never ever. go.go can allways pull the "well i 7-0'ed you"-card on his ass.
He doesn't even have to say a sentence just "7-0". Everytime they meet "7-0". They could be in different cars he just had to form a silent "7-0" with his mouth. 910 looks out the window and go.go walks by with a "7-0" look on his face. 910 opens up a letter and magicaly sees a "7", a "-" and an "0" randomly togheter and right then a lightning flash and he sees go.go smiling for a split second in the window.

That's so hard.
Don't forget whenever 910 tries to talk go.go has to interrupt him with "7-0." "I..." "7-0" "B..." "7-0" "W..." "Knock knock" "Who's there" "7-0"
Short of accusing straight collusion, I wonder if it was something like 0-3 or 0-4 for 910, and then he stopped trying, to be certain he'd at least have to get treated to a very nice meal by go.go. But then again, the prize money increases in the later games, so there's incentive to play each one.

But Savior...
I hope Yaoyuan is merciful. Or at least that there are VODs. If you play enough games you have to win some of them, is what I always say. And by always I mean that is the first time.
Money from this tournament aside, I have a hard time believing that 910 would be willing to immediately subject himself to, what will amount to be, never ending ridicule over being 7-0'd. Anything he does from hereonforth is pointless, and anything he has accomplished before (though not much) has been eradicated. He is "0-7" boy, and that's a pretty hefty title to willingly bring upon yourself...
910 obviously threw the games. No pro in the 10 year history of starcraft has ever ever lost 7 televised games to anyone without winning a single game, regardless of what kind of monstrous skill gap existed. Let alone 910 losing 7-0 on a single night in a mirror matchup to a similarly skilled player who, before this series, actually has a flawless 2-0 record against.
The pay structure pays out exponentially for anyone going on a 7-0 streak, and it's so stupidly obvious they set this up to split the money.
910 throwing this was so obvious it's not even debatable.
I think the result was legit. I mean it can't be easy to play those last games when the series is already lost so 7-0 isn't that incredible of a result. It's more merciful to quit after 4-0 when a player is already beaten down to the ground.

Some hundred dollars? We're talking about $2500. Possibly slightly more since the he was the one who looked bad by losing 0-7.
10% went to charity so thats $500 gone. OGN probably wanted a cut of go.go's money too. after this go.go probably will never earn any money on starcraft besides his salary, so he probably wants to cherish this gift from god. That doesn't leave much left for the kid who got stomped 0-7 and is probably getting disciplined for making his team, who is sponsored by the same company who ran this event, look bad.
910 seems to be taking it _pretty_ easy, making faces, smiling and laughing all the time, in the end even pinching go.go's chops and putting his arm around his shoulders. If this was not staged i'm the emperor of china.

Are you insane? Do you really think OGN will take a "cut" from go.go's little prizemoney?

I agree that there was something shady going on for a series between these two players to go 7-0, but this quote is only semi-true, sAviOr did win all 6 televised games against iloveoov that he has played, all very dominant wins, and its pretty hard to say that he wouldnt have won another stuck in the middle of any of those others.
