gsl 3 cheese killed it for me. MC and jinro made it tolerable though (MC is kind of a badass). I voted one because I fruitdealer was so epic. I stood up every night to watch that guy play, I crossed my fingers every game. Twice I almost died because he was so close to losing, then all of the sudden he pulls wins out of his ass. So many nerd chills.

GSL 2 had kyrix vs foxer which was awesome. Boxer did pretty well and the boxer nada match was godly. Nestea also gets much respect. Over all the games were better in season two but FD made season one for me.

GSL 2---

Damn those Nestea v Foxer games made me actually cheer IRL. Great games that had me on the edge of my seat!

GSL 1 had epic Z winning against all odds finals with some sick macro games. Plus, it was the first GSL so always good.

GSL2 had Foxer's sick marine play. <3

GSL3 not great, but Jinro has made it one to remember.

I think GSL2 had the greatest entertainment factor...

- Boxer vs Nada, just seeing BW legends playing again was awesome
- the rise of Foxer and Kyrix, culminating in their epic bo5 series
- map veto system was in place so we saw a lot of better games (in my opinion)
- exciting finals (even though the games weren't great, it went down to a tense final set)

I guess the overall standard of play has been higher in GSL3, but I think the map lottery and the rise of worker all-ins have turned a lot of people off. GSL2 was the most exciting for me.

Seriously? FruitDealer's finals? People like one sided matches and sloppy play by a terran? What??

boxer/nada run and jinro's run were equally good. Overall GSL2 was more entertaining, but jinro wins my vote

Jinro + MC rampage = I'm enjoying 3.

I seemed to base my decision a lot on the final, and GSL1's final was definitely wayyy better than GSL2. GSL3 would've had the potential to be my favorite with an improved foreigner performance, but all the cheesiness combined with no map veto ruined its chances for me =/

The level of play has risen enormously with each GSL season. As far as I'm concerned, they will continue to get progressively better. Next year's events are going to be godlike.

I'm surprised GSL2 is in last. I find that one to be the most enjoyable with Kyrix's hyper aggressive Zerg, Boxer vs Nada, first time seeing insane marine micro, Zenio air-bitchslapping Idra, Rainbow not getting eliminated in the Ro64, and not having half as many allins as GSL3.

Am I the only one who enjoys micro battles every game?I think GSL3 is by far better then the others new builds,new all-ins, new players,protoss, wacky games like bunker rushes,4gates on different timing,BitByBitPrime doing all-ins every game and Jinro stomping people...it shows how the game evolves.I hope next season the 3 races to find a good solid macro openings and to make those wacky micro all-in games more special then now.

I loved season 2 for boxer and nada but I'd have to go with FD winning when zerg was pretty underpowered and doing it on LT/kulus etc.

Jinro was really impressive, but the amount of cheese in this season hasn't impressed me at all, FruitDealer in GSL 1 especially with the story behind it with zerg being considered heavily unfavored ZvT and him just coming up and beating every terran he came up against like they were bad was just really really impressive and made for a great and exciting GSL

GSL 2 easily. Fauxer was great, and the series against Kyrix was amazing, probably the best of any series in the GSL.

Also there was BoxeR and NaDa, I don't need to explain why that's awesome.

guys. he SOLD FRUIT TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY.

how does this not obliterate the other two?

made me so happy when he won. i was meh at best for zbong (more happy foxer lost), and i want mc to win, but dont really care/have any emotional attachment to the guy.

but this is purely GOMs fault. I wish they did more to make me care about the players... cause i really want to.

GSL 2 because of Foxer vs. Kyrix ... that match was just incredible.
GSL 3 also had some good moments, aka Jinro-moments, but overall there were just too many damn all-ins.
