Hopefully the GSL does a good enough show that other big leagues get more sponsorships ie: MLG, IEM and maybe some new organisations. Think of it in terms of Football. You have the GSL (Your European nation's national league (EPL, La Liga, Series A, Bundesliga and so on(Big name players)). MLG and IEM as a smaller league like(The SPL(Some big players but not as many and a lot that have potential)). | ||

Now that the non-Koreans have gone, I guess I've lost interest in the GSL. At least when IdrA/TLO were in, I'd make the effort to watch their Game 1 matches after the fact, and if they were the first game of the day, I'd watch the series before working. I don't really know enough about the Korean scene to decide if matches are worth watching before I go to work; and the inability to watch anything apart from the first game when you don't watch it live (without having to pay for it) does sap the will somewhat. I still think that the GSL is a good tournament though, in spite of my lamentations. | ||

There's some crazyskilled players left in the tournament, and the most quality games are yet to come. There's so much shit these guys do that I don't even comprehend, and I'm a relatively skilled diamond player. Many of these players have the potential to end up being the next Boxer or Jaedong, and I'm sure we'll be seeing them again in subsequent seasons of the GSL. It may seem slightly less entertaining due to the complete lack of knowledge of these players, but just wait until next season, where half the names are the same and you start to put faces, playstyles, personalities, and rivalries with the wash of names you've been hearing over the past month or so. The GSL is fucking epic, and it'll be even more epic if you keep watching it and familiarize yourself with the currently unidentified korean players. | ||

one of the things i liked about starcraft was that [real life] race was lost behind computers and skill [and manners i guess] was the true measure of a person. | ||

It's totally understandable in one sense, and I don't think it has anything to do with racism. If they made baseball 2.0 tomorrow, and it had 20 new teams + the Tigers, and the Tigers didn't make it to the playoffs, you'd likely be quite disappointed (assuming you're a Tigers baseball fan) and a lot less interested in the baseball 2.0 playoffs. That being said, as I already stated, the games would still be epic, and after a season or two of watching, you'd become familiar with these other teams and start to enjoy the games much more. So keep watching! | ||

See thing is, they simply aren't pro, in fact some of the time you feel like your watching the old BW school league. Quite frankly, I'm just not emotionally invested in the players any more, I'll catch it if I'm awake, but Cellawerra, torch, artosis, Idra and now TLO going out, has really killed my enthusiasm. If Nada does make an appearance in the next GSL, as is rumoured, I will be watching GSL religiously. | ||

Most people watch because they have someone to cheer for. It's not only about the level of play that the players will produce. I mean with the players in broodwar you read their interviews and you get to know their personalities and you get a feeling of who you want to watch. It is also easier to feel connected to foreigners for the same reasons. In the GSL I don't think we know much about the players left at this point so we really have nothing to connect with and so we don't really care. People also watch based on matchups. Right now it's mostly Terrans and Protoss playing each other so there's no entertainment for people who cheer for Zerg. Oh yeah and a lot of people think the game's kinda broken. | ||
