Can't get me down! Haveta watch the vods any way D: On September 08 2012 09:15 SpunXtain03 wrote: I still think it's disappointing that the players are being cast from replays now, rather than playing live at the TLHQ. If a team considers its players to be too young to compete in foreign tournaments, then they should not be entered. Like it or not, being a progamer requires some sacrifices. These kids are getting a headstart in life with huge cash bonuses, and they are living the dream that thousands of people wish they could - making a career out of gaming. Because Creator and Life joined the tournament, two other potential candidates were not able to join the tournament. If you're not willing or able to make the requirements you shouldn't be in it - at this point, I'd recommend Team Liquid need to consider whether or not they should reinvite these two for the next TSL. They've shown a lack of commitment, and disappointed fans - and they are being paid a lot of money for it. When you think about how disappointing it is for the TL staff, the fans, the other progamers who couldn't be in the tournament, and think how easy it would be for the teams to either send a coach or captain with their players, or even a family member, it just seems a bit of a let-down to me. Maybe we need to start introducing 18+ tournaments... lol. It is SO disappointing that we won't see it live! But no one's at fault. $16k is a LOT of money. Live audiences are awesome! We know that, and hopefully the stars align next finals and we avoid GSL entirely. Priorities! I love TL! You love TL! A ton of Koreans love TL! Players on teams have obligations to their team. Let's stay positive people. Jet lag is a real thing. | ||

The only difference between live and replay is that the banner covering the replay features is bigger, the casters wont know the results and neither will we. | ||

Well things were very different back in TSL3, the foreigners were still underdogs but not as big an underdog as they are now. The skill gap used to be close enough that you could be fooled into believing that Thorzain and Naniwa were as good as the Koreans. Now the Koreans dominate so hard that having an all Korean finals makes it a bit hard to distinguish this final from any other Korean final. | ||

I don't think TSL4 will have the same "make into a recognizable figure" effect that previous TSLs had, because of the reasons above. I hope the players at least see this as a big thing so that we get good games. | ||
