It's not less legit because they invited yellow, now is it? | ||

This is an event tournament, which means that its #1 goal is to entertain the fans, not necessarily to determine the best Starcraft player in the world. Also, let us not forget that Yellow has won numerous golds in event tourneys and is considered the god of event tourneys. | ||

I think being real is when there's a huge pool of players fighting for a place in the ro32 through prelims where they literally play up to 8 hours of games back to back to back. It picks out the cream of the crop and then those 32 who've proven they have the potential duke it out for their shot at a starleague championship. This is just an invitationals, fan service  not very legit imo | ||

I'm hoping that one day, GomTV will try out a big 64-player bracket fed with open qualifiers just like their GSL Open era back in 2010. Of course, this would be the most resource-intensive and probably wouldn't happen, but one can dream. Funnily enough, this actually isn't the first time GomTV has broadcast BW alongside their SC2 stuff. Back in 2011, they broadcast a match of BW as an April Fools joke right before the GSL World Championship match between Mvp and Julyzerg. Two employees dressed up like the players and did a TvZ on Lost Temple, with Tastosis jokingly calling it a "low graphics mode" and pretending the impostors were the real players. Of course, the match was very short, finishing after a bunker rush and a worker pull iirc. The real SC2 match commenced shortly afterwards, but the whole thing was hilarious and well done. Too bad I can't find the vod since GomTV is being awfully slow porting over their old vods to the GomExp Youtube channel. | ||
