It was tough between GSL1 for FruitDealer and GSL3 for Jinro, but I have to go with Jinro's insane success in GSL3. Seeing him in that booth again and again every week was awesome, and I've never cheered louder than during his matches. Also of course this season held the huge amount of TL players getting in, and Ret's great early round domination.

I enjoyed season 2 the most, Season 1 the least by far, I'm surprised the poll shows the opposite.

The results are exactly what I was expecting, tbh. First GSL had novelty on its side plus the imba Terran vs the powerless Z (and the baller name of Fruitdealer). Second GSL was "can a lossless zerg beat someone who uses only marines?"). Third is what? A protoss who, while good, doesn't have much drawing fans in vs a Terran who has all-in'd a lot with many people angry about him even being in the finals. Plus, it hasn't even happened yet. Maybe you get the 7 sickest games ever in SC2, but the poll timing being before GSL S3 means you can't factor that in.

The other problem you have is an unclear poll: by listing the finals winners for each GSL and no accompanying text you split the voters between which GSL was better overall with which finals was better.

GSL 1 because I could not believe what I have witnessed. (and 'cause of the sweet Fruitseller music video)

hard to say, GSL 1 because fruitdealer won when terran was stupidly strong... However the skill level in GSL 3 is way higher.. But All-ins galore :S... Guess i'll go with season 1.

GSl 3 was worst IMO, wich is sad since so many foreigners got in. It's just too bad every tvz (coolest matchup IMO) was just terrans 2 raxing... The leenock vs clide matchup was amazing though.

As far as exitment goes GSL 1, as far as games go GSL 2

Season 1 imo. Because despite enormous disadvantages, one zergie pulled the win out of his ass. Season 3 is thus far the worst one due to the new idiotic map system and a sudden increase of cheesy all-in terrans. Season 2 was awesome, objectively the best one, but fruitdealer man. Fruitdealer.

GSL 1 just because I loved the story behind FD and the video after he won was so sick. The only macro terran it seems, Jinro to semis is huge and Zerg bong fan fighting but really enjoyed the first as there will never be another like it I believe with such a storyline of a player.

Season 1, because Fruitdealer had to deal with pre-nerf Terran with pre-buff Zerg.

Also, because he proved that skill can overcome balance, even against the best of the best Terran at the time.

I didn't like season 3 because it seemed like more games were lost than won. I got the feeling a lot of players moved on because their opponents made mistakes rather than by playing well.

Season 1 was by far the best. It had the novelty factor, strats I've never seen before [low ground cannon rush on meta. wtf!], tester holding when he really shouldn't have been able to [2 gate proxy against his 1 gate on meta], and a Zerg winning it all when Zerg was arguably the weakest race at the time. Season 2 was interesting simply because of marine spread micro I've never seen before, and Season 3 was by far the worst because of all the 2-4 rax bs all-ins.

This should be a vote on which GSL is the worst, not the best.

GSL 1 was bad. Seems like most people have already this "earlier all was better"-mindset
GSL 2 was pretty good.
GSL 3 the best so far from the skill etc, but not as entertaining to watch than #2
