:D Always get a bit worried during the wait. Hope we get some breakout stars this time. I love me some toss but a new zerg dark horse would be welcome. | ||

Edit: There's no need for FS and CB again, everybody knows those maps, It's not like we have to learn how to play those maps on ladder from the pros. | ||

Like 5 times at least. This is one of my favourite BW games of all time.. doesn't change the fact that map pool is just INCREDIBLY boring this season.. *Yawn* | ||

Edit: There's no need for FS and CB again, everybody knows those maps, It's not like we have to learn how to play those maps on ladder from the pros. yeah.. FS and CB still being played at this level is truly a bad joke.. The map pool is definitely more boring this time around, if you can even believe such thing can be possible.. I was really hoping to see Power Bond and Tres Pass being played at pro level.. these pro players always go for fun builds on these new maps.. I just hope the games are going to be of awesome quality, at least.. | ||

If a map is popular to play, you can be sure that it will be popular to watch, because the players will have practiced it, and may pull out interesting or unorthodox strategies. Of course, I am basing this on my idea and Foreign Tournaments, the structures, supports, sponsors and all must be somewhat different in Korea. Also, saying why are Big scale tournaments playing CB or FS is just like, uhm, stupid? I understand if you are sick and tired of seeying this maps on stream, (I don' t even like CB to be honest), but really man... All in all, you could be a little more cheering, instead of saying that's the map pool is boring. like what do you except will come from this behaviour? I don' t think Ksl reads these threads on TL, I might be wrong, so this is like sending a letter to someone who will never receive it. | ||

I've said that I hope that at least the games will be of good quality and the tournament will be better than the last one. And because of this atrocious map pool Nothing more "cheerful" will be coming from me until the tournament will actually start and we are able to see the groups, the games, the production, etc. Nothing wrong with standard maps at all, but ffs.. this is a pro tournament of the highest caliber.. go for 4 to 3 ratio - 4 standard ones and 3 "odd" ones just to spice things up a bit. That's all I'm saying. Was always like that in korean tournaments and it should stay that way if you ask me. But still.. Using FS and CB in a top tier tournament in 2019 is just inexplicable to me.. | ||

Not a fan of the map pool either, but it's what you'd expect from a blizz run event. Still hoping that one day some other company, maybe SPO or OGN, finds an agreement with Blizzard to run their own events so Blizzard doesn't have to anymore. Though I doubt that modern Blizz would ever wave/reduce that massive fee. I'm so grateful to Afreeca for paying it every season/year. That CEO is one hell of a guy. Still having my fingers crossed for Bisu, but Blizzard had to do this with Twitch, when all the big Starcraft streamers are on Afreeca... | ||

That's why delivering innovative maps should be a priority for the KSL production. | ||

1. Is Bisu gonna try and qualify? (Maybe the koreans watching his stream would know best) 2. Saying that all matches will be casted in English - does that include qualifiers as well? | ||
