If you find yourself having an emotional link to a player(s) surely your ultimate hope comes down to that player aspiring to becoming the best in the world? Why win a second rate tournament with little prestige than an event that makes people notice you as being one of the best players in the world? People talk about the money, and how its not "fair" that koreans could end up taking it all, but so what? If people want to take the game seriously then they need to step it up a gear, and events like this isn't allowing it. So then I guess that the fans of the teams that never make it to the Premier League should just give up because they will never get to see their players be the best in the world? | ||

Thanks for the concern, but I'm not too worried about that. If my point is made, it would be worth it. I'm tired of listening to that crap. Besides, I uttered nothing derogatory and never will. That's the stuff that should stay off the forums. And I agree that TSL3 had better production value than IPL1. So far I've heard really good things about IPL2, so we'll see! | ||

What I want to do is to tilt the balance a little bit, and have American players earn more time not having to worry about their living and spend that time practicing and up their game Translation : Americans sucks therefore we don't want to compete with the rest of the world atm I don't understand the mentality involved here , you can only get better by practicing / competing with the best. I don't think i would be watching this league (Nasl has horrifying production but the rosters is amazing and the games were awesome) i rather watch NASL season 2. Do they at least allow Huk to participate ?( or does he counts as koreans now that he practice alot and in GSL code S?) i would love him to win this league. The NA players aren't protesting the presence of koreans in the tournament because they are too good. Not sure where you got that idea. That's completely false. Koerans aren't participating because they don't care to because it's an online tournament in NA, or they didn't make it through the qualifiers. | ||

Because it's quite true in this analogy. Hey, someone who gets it! I used a similar analogy that I personally like a wee bit better, even though we are both kinda saying the same thing. In my opinion, the skill gap between college football and the NFL is much larger than that between the Koreans and NA players. I said that people in the UK still get hyped for the Premier League championship which features some of the worlds best players (i.e. Rooney, Torres, Tevez), even though at least the world's top 3 players (Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka) all play in La Liga out of Spain. They aren't THE best, but it's way too close to make a fuss about. Though the analogy is a little shaky because I focus solely on the individual rather than the team, but I think you can see my point. | ||

But also wow, great interviews, a TON of really informative stuff there. Glad they're doing it this way, building up IPL slowly for season three where they'll have a huge prizepool and korean players. Very nicely done. | ||

the production value of the first IPL caught me off guard, I certainly hope the second season is as good, if not even better. | ||

Not entirely sure why people are taking a dump on the guy who made the premier league remark, he's absolutely right. Sports fans watch the match because it's the match, not due to who is playing. They do not ignore all of the matches that aren't being played by the top couple of teams, they enjoy the sport, regardless of who is playing it. The idea that you can't enjoy SC2 unless it's being played at the absolute razer edge of perfection is something I'll never understand, not to mention is a fairly harmful attitude to have. I actually feel sorry for people that can't enjoy SC2 unless it's being played by Koreans, how terrible to be denied so much entertainment simply due to some self-imposed restriction. Agree. One tournament without Koreans is fine by me! They're playing in everything else for goodness sake. I get as much enjoyment out of the Euro and NA scenes as I do the KR. Looking forward to this tournament!! | ||
