If you're having a different experience that's unfortunate, but stop trying to project it on all of us. They're not projecting it onto you. This is a forum for discussing things, that's what they are doing. Stating their opinions and why they feel that way and others either agree or disagree and explain why. I went from watching almost every tournament last year to having watched all of 0 so far this year. Bought the CE HoTS for beta and was super excited. Played maybe 50 games since release? Just a loss of interest not only in the "storylines" but in the game as well. Sc2 had more to pull people in because of the 10 year span between it and BW. It's only been a few (not that it's a bad thing) since the actual release and this expo. Can't speak for others but the game is just a lot more boring. Way too much about build orders and direct counters compared to just good play. | ||

It's not possible to have entire summaries on the sidebar because there's not enough room for it. This thread is turning into me teaching people how to follow esports, I think I'll stop now. You have to see the bigger picture here. If it can be accessed with one click, and it is a VERY IMPORTANT content, why not add it in the main page? Pros: Immediately see what major events in the month. Cons: A few lines of space. It's not even debatable. And they dont have to go as far up as November. I'm talking about something like this (imagine top right column of tl) Events (Calendar) ON AIR: Day[9] Daily #595 Stream: Day[9].tv Wiki CTL Artosis Stream: ChanmanV Upcoming events: [ More ] 6h 30m [GSTL] MVP vs. PRIME 9h 20m [DSL] Rising Stars… 12h 20m [SL6] Group Stage 13h 20m 600$ MouseShake Cu… 20h 20m [URTL] iMp vs SCS ------- UPCOMING MAJOR EVENTS: June xxx - 2013 DreamHack Open: Summer June xxx - HomeStory Cup VII June xxx - 2013 MLG Spring Championship How awesome and helpful would this be to fans! | ||

It's not a terrible idea and I wouldn't be against it, It's just already relatively simple to find the information. I can see why it might be confusing for new people but that's why I'm in this thread answering questions, because once you know how to follow the scene efficiently It's quite easy. | ||

Still, it would just be convenient, practical, and smart for all concerned if we have a summary of the month`s premier events in the front page. | ||

Truth be told, TL "sold out" with the whole DOTA thing. I don't blame them though, it IS very popular and VERY good money. | ||

Bleh, it's not that bad. Anyway: I quite often open up the TL homepage, check who is streaming at that time and have a glance around, I do this 2-3 times a day (sometimes more). Recently I've noticed I don't have a clue what the hell is going on as much as I used to. I mean, right now I know about the WCS but when is the next MLG? Couldn't tell you without poking around Liquipedia. When is the next Dreamhack? TOMORROW YAY - But again I check for this, since Dreamhack is a 'local' tourney. But look at the front page. Dreamhack starts TOMORROW as I said. Apart from a 'Featured Article', I don't see a 'Big front page' article saying its almost upon us. (Oh wait, I do when I filter DOTA 2 back in, they have a big thing about that NOT SC2). It's quite small there, basically almost missed the thing. More premier events being previewed on the front page (3-4 days before they happen please) and can we have some more filters in the Calender? I mean like MLG, Dreamhack, Homestory etc etc. Okay kochanfe, maybe it IS a bit complainy :S TL:DR Please give us more options on the Calender and where's the big 'SC2 Dreamhack Summer' thing (like Dota 2 has). | ||

The OP complains about not knowing Proleague players...and what does that have to do with anyone other than him? /terrible thread Yeah, I'm going to agree with this. The only tournaments I watch is WCS Korea and Proleague now a days. Lots of good high level play, storylines, great players and of course it's koreans vs koreans so you know it'll be the best games possible (as opposed to watching random foreigners fight it out in WCS NA) | ||

Unification brings more dulness than excitement. I liked it when there were 10 events simultaneously, people were going crazy for their own event, audiences were funny and excited. This year I think the best so far was DreamHack, which proves it. | ||
