YellOw is PRETTY huge in Korea by going to variety shows and reality tv shows. I think he also coach a pretty successful LoL team as well. | ||

Honestly if they want to improve the ratings, they should hype it w/ an actual brackets w/ qualifiers. I feel like each season should have a certain amount of "build up" until the final for "charges". Those build up are such that have a large player pool, the final will have that much impact as these guys in there actually slayed many people to achieve that spot which really "proves" that they are the "best of the best". But GOM TV season 4 had 8 people, most of whom aren't even considered as a top player. Did they even invite Killer in it? How about Bisu? What about PianO? They should invite actual competent guys in order to compete at the highest level and to attract fans. All in all, let's hope that they increase the player pool to have a higher standard of tournament like the original Gom Classics. | ||

It was dumb though they put a really terrible timeslot, a very inconvenient viewing option and a really really weird map pool. | ||

There is no way in hell they woulda done something like this before. It works too (did you see all those girls in the audience for yellow? and then like 5 ppl watching for the rest of the series lol) It was dumb though they put a really terrible timeslot, a very inconvenient viewing option and a really really weird map pool. Yeah that is the reason i asked if it was successful and if we can expect another season. I just didn't know if there was an audience after yellow was gone, but apparently not? | ||

I don't know why the games turned out so mediocre (I understand like yellow getting crushed) but hey, was fun. | ||
