i have to say i really like whats happening in the tl opens. There are only a handful of korean progamers that we can watch in code a and s, and some more in GSTL, however the currently less known players also seek exposure, and a weekly tournament hosted by the biggest community sc2 website is a great place to do so. For me, like the guy above said, prefer high level games over nerchio or whitera stomping noobs till round of 8 any day

How is it free dinners? They work hard to be good, why are you even complaining, go practice.

Gah I would definitely sign up if it wasn't at such an atrocious time for Australians.

Oh well. I guess we deserve some disappointments for having the GSL at such an awesome time. (7:00 PM) =P

Good luck to all involved! I'm incredibly envious of the person who gets matched up with MarineKing or Polt first round. =(

Hah, next week they'll announce they'll host these cups on KR server as europeans aren't participating in NA very much, americans that can compete don't, others just get rolled and it's just koreans competing each other with delays.

Might be interesting, though, to see if you could host it on KR server. As they don't have many weekly small tournaments and they seem to be willing to play in them.

Will future TLOpens be used as qualification for TSL4? If so, it blows for EU players to be at a permanent disadvantage when trying to get into TSL4.

And will TSL4 favor NA players aswell? It makes little sense to favor one group in the qualifications but not in the main tournament.

you qualify for a 1000$ tournament iirc, so it's not that big of a deal
