*OMG CHILL GRUDGE MATCH TONIGHT!!!!*
I HAVE NEW ZVZ CHOLERA BUILD KEKEKE


Hehe, so yes, this thread doesn't have too much current content, but I think it's needed since the last one was even lamer. Hopefully this will eventually get some details out about new changes in the tournament that deal with stuff important to potential players at TL.

Also, my humble 2 cents from doing casting both for CSL season 1 and a few games with top foreign players online or at WCG Open: CSL and TSL or another traditional competitive SC leagues appeal to almost entirely different audiences and players.

Both are great for the foreign SC fanbase, just to different aspects of it. I don't post much on either TL or SC2GG any more because I'm trying to devote more time to growing an audience that's mostly not involved in the current SC community. Well mainly I don't post so much because of taking courses and playing FO3, but shh.

I'd say most of my viewers for my videos are very casual enthusiasts who don't play at all or only play with 'friends'; and who just want to watch some fun games without any involvement in the forums or community. I'd say a majority of the college players on the CSL teams, with some big exceptions, belong in this category too (which explains their - and my - rather bad play).

But, thousands of these folks like watching games with bad plays too :O Based on views, as many people watched my VODs of CSL playoffs/finals and the Cotter Cup, both of which had games that were on average on the level of D+ or C- players, as they did casts I've done of top foreign players from replays, or as most of the Korean games. Watching odd and imperfect play doesn't appeal to a lot of people who post here, but there's still a whole lot more who do like watching and laughing about them.


The TSL, WCG qualifiers, ESL, cups in Cali, etc. are absolutely great for the game, its long-lasting community, and all of us who do like watching solid play among non-Koreans (which includes me). But, the CSL is a completely different tournament where most of the players are from the "casual", previously uninvolved crowd of viewers I mentioned above - who definitely can reach the same level as the players with just some practice and do like the idea of watching amateurs who do make lots of mistakes but still can win (or at least compete in) a tournament.

Some of these viewers have told me they found a dusty copy of BW and started playing on Bnet or Iccup for the first time in 5+ years, or are much more excited about and will buy SC2 when it comes out. And that can only be good for the game.

so if cholera and hazel are doing this CSL, what happened to the pay CSL?

does that exist anymore? If not, that could have been made clearer by just saying that this is CSL - costs.

I'm still confused, but right now I think it stands like this:

There are two CSLs. One with a website, and nothing else. The other has everything else.

You seem to be a very shrewd and agreeable business person. We should be partners. I will put a CSL banner on my website and you put a HotBid banner on yours. Everyone prospers.

Xeris, this isn't hype. It's "We're doing stuff, of which we have said nothing. Stay tuned." You don't need to say that.

Also I will offer 30% of Vandelay Industries for your Light hat.

Wait, if there isn't a $5 entry fee I will not be participating.

EDIT: @ Chill: Isn't that precisely how TL does stage-1 hype?

If there isn't an entry fee, how can I be sure that I'll be fighting quality teams? Without some sort of entry barrier, everybody and their dog could sign up and I'd waste precious SC time fighting non-A-rank players!
