Marking the end of group play, Group D continues the StarCraft GOMTV Star Invitational’s best of the best going head to head. The quartet is composed of players whose chances are as good as anyone else’s in the 16-man fight for the title. Before Bisu’s move to SKT1, the group had 3 MBCHero members. The players are all familiar with each other’s styles, meaning some cheese tactics and innovative plays can also be expected.
Cast of Characters
Name: Taek-Yong Kim
Alias: Bisu[Shield]
Race: Protoss
Team: SK Telecom 1 (Recently transferred, originally MBCHero)
Strength: During Savior’s reign, Bisu rose up to become the anti-Savior and dethrone the Zerg Maestro. Each time the players met, Bisu fortified his place in the annals of StarCraft fame. While Bisu’s Dark Templar/Corsair strategy is not entirely new, his technique and skill at its implementation are flawless. Continued…
Group C of the StarCraft GOMTV Star Invitational is complete, with two players advancing. Hit the jump for the full results — spoilers ahoy.

VOD list:
Stork vs. Iris (Blue Storm)
Hwasin vs. Iris (Katrina)
Hwasin vs. Free
Stork vs. Free
Stork vs. Hwasin
Iris vs. Free
Group C of the StarCraft GOMTV Star Invitational follows up with some potentially awesome games to watch. Stork looks like one of the favorites to win this event, while all the other players are close to being in top shape. Interestingly enough, there are no Zergs in this set. Expect tanks and dragoons galore tonight.
Visit the GOMTV schedule page to find out when this is all going down.
Also keep in mind that these matches are all being shoutcasted in English by Nick “Tasteless” Plott. GOMTV considers this a test-run for Tasteless, and future employment for him (and English StarCraft enjoyment for us) hinges on his viewership numbers. So, hit the GOMTV GSI video on demand page to view completed games, as well as the aforementioned match schedule page to see when the next battle begins.
Tasteless is casting every match…now to the previews!
Name: Byung-Goo Song
Alias: Stork
Race: Protoss
Team: Samsung KHAN Continued…
Every event features a group of death where players who should all make it out of group play won’t. Only two players can advance, leaving no room for error. In the GOMTV Star Invitational StarCraft tournament, one slip up–a mis-struck key, a poorly micro’d unit–could be the downfall and an early end to any member of Group B.
Cast of Characters
Name: Jae-Dong Lee
Alias: n.Die_Jaedong
Race: Zerg
Team: Lecaf OZ
Strength: Jaedong’s stock has been rising as of late. Fans believe he will fill sAviOr’s shoes as a Zerg superstar. Jaedong is nicknamed “Legend Killer,” bringing down veteran after veteran consistently. His record stands at an amazing 90-43, a 67.67% win rate. Additionally, his Zerg mirror is heartstopping: 30-9. Against Terran, he stands at 38-16, winning over 70% of the time.
Weakness: They don’t call it the group of death for nothing. He faces a decent Protoss and two players who eat Zergs for breakfast. Continued…
THe first show of the new format! We talk about the Fox news scandal. We take a look at the video from the AVN show in Las Vegas especially for the fans. We send RObert Summa to the future again and hope his wingle comes back in one peice. We got our hands on some deleted scenes from Cloverfield that you won’t want to miss! We leave the show with a brand new 16 minute long, EG Classics.
Today on Epileptic Gaming #147.5 the hosts bring you a fun filled free for all. Summa reports on some technology from CES 2008, news of the week, we announce our Wallpaper contest winners, and djWHEAT explains his views of PS3ology, the sister cult of Scientology.
The story only thickens… Wire recently reported that due the holiday Xbox LIVE outage, Microsoft is issuing a complimentary downloadable game to all current Gold subscribers via it’s LIVE Marketplace. Well, we learned today that three idiots Texans have consulted with their lawyers and decided it would a wise idea to place a class-action suit against the technology giant, stating that the outages represent a breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation for which the company is liable. The plaintiffs allege that “Microsoft knew the increase in subscriptions would increase game-play on its servers, yet failed to provide adequate access and service to Xbox LIVE and its subscribers.”
I give these guys merit for what their trying accomplish, but apparently Texas school districts do not believe in teaching reading comprehension. It took me a less than two minutes of scanning Microsoft’s easily accessible Xbox LIVE Terms of Use statement located on their website, which outlines the fact that their services are “as-is,” to figure out this lawsuit won’t do well. The full clause is printed below.
16. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY
We provide the Service “as-is,” “with all faults” and “as available.” The Microsoft Parties give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws that this contract cannot change. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, workmanlike effort and non-infringement.
Although I don’t hold a degree in law, or any other collegiate degree for that matter, I can safely assume that these clowns are wasting their time and money.
