Just pay the $10. I finally did and it's worth every penny. I may be living off of cereal and ramen but who cares! I get to see epic SC2 games!(without screwing up my schedule like it did last semester)

The season ticket is definitely worth it to anyone considering. And as an added bonus, you get to contribute to the proliferation of esports. Win win!

Such epic games from all players. The code A matches between Butterflyeffect and LittleBoy left me kinda worried about the state of SC2, but damn. The code S games were just absolutely insane. The skill gap is ridiculous.

I agree with you. I don't worry so much though, as I'm sure theres tons more people around the world way better than those you currently see in Code A. Which is a shame really, that they can't get out there and show what they can do.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

There's a lot of guys in Korea itself who can easily perform in Code A. Haypro and Huk being two of them obviously they are better than a lot of the players you see. But it's not just Haypro and Huk there are tons of Koreans as well who are going to make it in. It makes sense because Code A is partially based on games from a long time ago. Give it some time and you will see a much higher level of play in Code A. The system just didn't allow for that in GSL4 yet. GSL5 will be much better the open Code A qualifiers will be really tough.

But it would also be fair to say that this test run of GSL definitely missed out on a big opportunity to impress spectators with superior play. The good thing is, it's early and the tournament really has a high ceiling

the GSL seems kind of structured around code A, considering how outstandingly difficult it is to remain code s (1 game group play? Yeouch!))

I disagree. Only now in the Code S matches and as the Ro16 starts are we getting consistently awesome matchups. The first three seasons were all preliminary to setup the talent/skill filter that BW starleagues have had momentum with for years. Now that the filter is in place, things will only get more awesome.

Huk is more a late macro game play rather than MC a early cheeser type play. But hopefully Jinro will smash through this next round and win it for the foreigners!!! TL HWAITING

Well said. Just from watching stream's from players in Korea (Huk, Idra, TheWind) it's pretty obvious there are more than a few players capable of showing excellent matches who most foreign fans have never heard of. I think the quality of matches will definitely be on the upswing.

Huge props to Nazgul for always going well beyond his role as a manager for his players!

Can't wait for the next round of Code S! :D

Nice recap of all the games I missed! Jinro and IdrA advancing makes the foreign scene proud. Sad to see Jinro facing MC in his group once again; I hope he learned a few lessons from their series.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

There will not be a replay pack.

There was a Jinro replay pack a while back in the TL weekly.

So watch that :D
