I don't think they remember that this tournament misses all the heavy hitters from BW and skill level is way down from prime time of BW. Heck most of players who qualified cant even win one game out of 50 against former BW pros (currently playing SC2). Still I enjoy watching TLS more than any SC2 tournament currenly going on. | ||

Im sorry, i cant agree at all to what you say here. If you take a look at the Qualifiers, you'll notice that many former bw players came back and did not win the thing. Naugrim, G5, Infernal were all in the top50 of the foreign scene in their respective prime to me. i can only imagine you saw the 4th qualifier only, which was slightly underwhelming. But take a look at sziky vs pusan showmatch and tell me foreign bw is declining  topic: i dont like that NASL show, but as long as they push our tournament, i dont mind ^^ | ||

Jangbi winning OSL (or earlier OSL) is a bit different skill level than TLS don't you think. Current foreigners do make a lot of mistakes, mainly do to BW requiring more mechanics. | ||

Well in that case, yes. But thats nothing new. In bw Koreans always dominated in professional play after Grrr. As it became standard for TL Events, koreans arent even allowed to participate. Its standard NASL hype stuff. They always tend to exaggerate things | ||

That main guy was really nice and supportive. And the guy on the far left was nice at first and then started to use his SC2 agenda against us. Overall I think they were really nice ot give the TLS exposure and it inspires me to work harder on its content.  dRaW if you didn't watch the video, those are your reavers they are saying you lost to the sunken! | ||

I think it is fair to say that coming into see BW for the first time, it is a little bit harder if you don't know the players and personalities in the scene. Even for myself I am only just starting to know who is in the foreign scene as I had really on paid attention to Korean BW. It's hard to jump in blind and have people to root for and so that requires a little bit of time and investment. Hopefully, between the games and interviews people can start knowing who is in the foreign scene- perhaps later profile pics would help? Who knows. But this is a passion project. We put on the best that we can, and the numbers we get, is the numbers we get. I am certainly excited about it and foreign BW was barely on my radar before.  | ||
