But we can agree that SSL9 is the one that most reminisce the professional days.

We had all of that for the last two seasons. Well, except Bisu ^^. Also, Kim Carrier only joined last season and we had juice girls instead of booth girls, but yeah, it was pretty similar and awesome!

Hopefully, it keeps going and growing for a long time.

Well I personally would be content with SSL staying on the level that it is now, with a couple refinements of course (A custom overlay for in-game with resources + supply would be nice, the booths not falling apart mid-game xD, the small things overall), but of course any improvement that they can make is always welcome!

Also I don't think Sonic should have much trouble finding a sponsor for the next season if as many people attend live/watch on afreeca as there have thus far!

+ Show Spoiler +
On the in-game overlay thing, can somebody actually explain why that hasn't been done, I mean it's not like it's a foreigner only thing OSL had it, MSL had it, SPL had it, GOM even had unit counts (Granted I don't actually think it's necessary to have that.)

MSL didn't have it, and the SPL matches that were broadcasted on MBCGame didn't have it.

I get such a happy, warm buzz in my stomach every time I check out how much SSL is growing <3.

We've had some great games from SOSPA based tournaments. But what’s great about the most recent SSL is the passion and emotion which has been lacking a bit in the proto-proleague for understandable reasons. Pusan was so close to tears when Terror beat him. It makes the games so much more exciting when there’s this level of emotion and passion shown outside the game. It really does start to feel like a proper Star League again.

A lot of this has to be the fact that there’s a crowd and that their interacting so much with the games and the players. Reminds me of been back in Yongsan with the crowd yelling Song Byeunggoo and blowing horns and vuvuzelas (until they got banned). The good old days, we’re not too far away from been there again.

edit: I'm talking about this kind of thing

Still adding it seems fairly easy.

Does anybody actually think that not seeing supply is a good thing?

I think it's good and bad. It does increase the entry level for those watching since you have to know something about the game(supplies and such) to tell who's winning although commentators can dispel that. I think it can create some suspense as well if you don't know but I don't think it's a deal breaker if you do either lol.

I think that would apply if you were talking about production tabs, but for supply/resource thats already available from replays all I want is for them to add it to live.

Also it looks nice.

Sonic's using the resolution expander so TL's resource overlay would be in the wrong place. There's a workaround I could explain to him I suppose, though.
