C'mon...make it an annual event...tournaments lose meaning when they occur so frequently...

GSL code S would be so much better if it had the frequency of the bw proleagues or less...

Make it a bigger tournament...increase the prize pool...have longer series...more competitors next time, just dont rush into it...the quality and excitement will suffer otherwise.

I want TSL to be something special like The big tournament every year, but I would be ok with it if it was twice a year.

have about half a dozen tl opens just because you can, then run tsl4 qualifiers. restarting straight away would be kind of nuts

ton of things that could be fixed as well, really didn't like the qualification format and the amount of invites:qualifiers ratio

I think once a year at least, probably wait a month minimum though. It would be sick if a timeframe was released, telling when the first qualifier will be, even if its not for 4 months or something.

A Summer/Winter or Spring/Fall TSL would be perfect. Two a year seems like a good number to aim for since in between qualifiers could be held weekly and just keep building the TSL brand. Also as much as I loved the invitees I would drastically reduce that to 1/4 of the participants and let everyone earn their way in.

Another thing I would think would be awesome is instead of having the Finals only Live try and budget a bit more money and fly out the Final Four participants and have the Semi's Live and a week later the Finals and Third Place match Live as well.

Can't wait for TSL4!

Making the TSL more frequent will make it BOOM. TSL will become the biggest and most profitable SC2 tourney on earth, easily.

I think once a year is best. As a seasonal event, TSL just isn't as cool.

Although I want more epic games like the ones we had, TSL would loose it's prestige if it was too common. It wouldn't be as cool to win a TSL if there were several every year. It wouldn't be the same brag status

. I think once every 6 months is good, if not more.

It's hard, because once every year is too little. Especially in e-sports, but as I said it's impossible to claim you've won the coolest tournament if it's played too often.

Once a year. The less frequent a tournament is, the more prestigious is. I personally feel not very much prestige for gsl, it happens too frequently.

Once a year is enough. We'll get bored too easily if it happens too much in the same year.

And why not bring a TSL with SC2 AND bw

Thank you for saying exactly what I wanted to say.

I always want more TSL, but we don't want to make it into something incredibly common. A little break lets it keep the mystical feel it currently has.

Twice a year max. Inflation is not good and TSL should be something special.

Wait a bit.
Agree with two events a year max. It should be something special that you really look forward to.
There is enough constantly-ongoing events, don't want TSL to blend in with them/lose its spark.

new entry on the poll:

dont make the tourney last 2 monthes.

honestly it took so long (especially getting through the round of 32) to progress that, by the end of it, the nostalgia of the tourney itself was gone. Thank God for Thorzain, he kept the hype up by being the underdog.

if it went like everyone predicted with an all/mostly korean final 4 dominated by MC. i dont think viewer count or the level anticipation, would have been half as high.

Wait a bit.

ThorZain needs his 5 minutes of fame, he deserves it. Improve on the rules, get some new ideas together (IGN proleague for inspiration+more work on LAN part) and hit it in a month or so.

TSL 4 life.
