There were literally fucking people in the NASL thread who complained that more Koreans needed to be invited. Then these exact same people create threads stating that the lag was too great when Koreans played foreigners and they didn't want to watch it. Are you kidding me? It's these same shitty posters who bring up lag in every thread. These vocal people haven't done shit for the community except bitch. That strikes me as ironic considering your quote. | ||

That's crazy money assuming all the players could even get visa's to come here which is a long shot to begin with considering Ukrainian players have been denied visa's before to go to WCG before iirc. The way it is set up it takes a month to view the games because it is only showed on the weekends. However, because the games are casted from replays, if they were to simply meet at a location and played the games, it would take them no more than a week, maybe two in order to get through all the games. Given, it is still a logistics nightmare and most likely would not work, I just wanted to say that your time span seems a bit exaggerated. | ||

I figure the reason that Blizzard segregated the servers was because of lag issues, so it's natural that you would get this. They know what they might be getting themselves into so yeah. It's fine. People will complain, and they ought to, but TL can't do anything about this. | ||

however, another thing i saw was korean pros making grossly bad decisions and miss timings etc. did latency probably throw these koreans off their game so that they played subpar ? perhaps. did latency directly cause them to lose games ? absolutely not, and shame on boxer's gf if she made statements implying this was the case. there will always be this controversy looming over tsl, but seriously, after seeing qxc vs genius and adelscott vs mvp, you can not tell me the two foreigners won because of latency. those were cases of pure outplaying, what am i saying, damn straight owning. on the other hand, goody vs. nestea ? i don't know man, i got serious doubts about that one. still, the legitimacy of the tsl isn't compromised. what happened was that mvp and co. did not prepare enough and took this tourney in jest thinking they could use their solid overpracticed styles and win. what they got was builds and styles they almost surely never saw before, let alone practice against, that were executed superbly in most cases, and with the occasional lag spikes on top, they just fell apart. have to note i am a korean pro fan and i was upset that mvp, nestea etc. got owned so hard. BUT rewatching the games and having the ability to downplay my bias, i must say that if anything, this whole lag debate thing brings into question the actual skill level of the korean pros, and their level of respect for the non-korean scene. the korean netizens can whine all they want, one iem showing korean domination means jack squat, so i'm waiting on the first lan tsl-like tournament to settle the matter, if that kind of shit is relevant - which it isn't to anyone with their heads not up their butts. in the end, it was good matches, and judging from the viewership and the sheer amount of discussion the tsl has generated throughout the world sc2 scene, this tourney has been a huge success from both the spectator and the business points of view, which in a sense makes it inherently legitimate  | ||

It's ridiculous to ask questions like "Has the legitimacy of TSL3 been compromised?"... | ||
