If you have everything you need (money and time) to repeat the succes right now, then just go for it imo. So long as you don't compromise with the quality. | ||

Anyway, I suppose that it would be best to do the TSL as a Bi-Annual event, keep it special but not so far apart that people forget etc. I mean 12 months is a LONG time. | ||

So keep it sparse, keep the magic alive. On another note, I would love to see Bo5 in the Ro32. I know that would take a long time to cast but I think it would give the better player more of a chance to shine. I'm not saying (at all) that this TSL was somehow unfair, but simply that the competition was so damn tight, it hurts to see it based on Bo3. | ||

don't "whore it out" , keep it special and memorable. if tl want to organize another tournament in the meantime ( or some sponsor is very keen to give out money), make a team league! | ||

GSL doesn't lose prestige, because it's like.. monthly. In my opinion 2 times a year would be great even 3. The state of the game, who is the best, who currently has the best strategies, what patch we are on. It changes daily. One Champion a year is waaaay outdated when the next TSL begins. | ||

a bit less pauses between the broadcasts perhaps? (if possible, with all the MLG, Dreamhack and other big lans there might be too much on one weekend) Or simple more series on one broadcast day. Well, if I think about qualifiers (more than last time/for korean server as well) it´s perhaps time to start them now if I want 2 TSL a year  | ||

It needs to be special and great (For example OSL/MSL)Like look at the GSL, new GSL tournament every month. Thats alot of games and you don't have the time to look at all of them. Then you also know that it will be a new soon. So you only care of the semi-finals and Final . Or maybe thats only me. >.< | ||

Besides, I'm still recovering emotionally and physically after that insane final. Almost had 7 heartattacks, one each game. I'll need time, as a spectator. I'm sure Day[J] will need time as well. Gosh, I seriously got worried for his health in that last game in particular. Fuck man ... That TSL shit is serious ! Can be hazardous to your life you know. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

 . 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I, for one, strongly disagree. TSL 3 has given us the comfort of being able to watch live in the weekend, when most people are at home and not working or studying their asses off. Making it last less and still have the same amount of games would mean streaming weekdays, and sure, some would be able to watch live, while for others it would be dead night (think like 3-4 am) and others would still be at work/school. If for some having the tournament more often would make it less special, for me not being to watch it live would make it less special. Just my 2 cents. | ||

The format of the tournament lasting this long is what BW starleagues did and makes it a lot more exciting then if it lasted a week or 2. It provides hours of endless entertainment and lasts 2 months is awesome. I hope the TSL goes like MSL/OSL of bw, 2-3 times a year (can't remember which) because they take like 3 months to do a tournament would be awesome .I do hope TSL4 qualifiers start in like a month or something with less invites, would be awesome :D | ||

Team Liquid understand their fans and as such, their VODs are free. (NASL and especially GSL take a hint) you can watch whenever, and however you want. perfect example of a perfectly timed Tourney of the same(or at close) hype and player pool was the IPL. the action was consistant. the player pool was 32, the production value and everything top notch. and the length, perfect. like 2 weeks long. im sorry but waiting TWO WEEKS for one set (the finals) was just too long. | ||

Start qualifiers in june through august. Tournament begins late august through early october 3 invites (naniwa, thorzain, kas) 6 European Qualifiers (5 point leaders) 6 American Qualifiers (5 point leaders) 4 Korean Qualifiers (3 point leaders) No cross qualification (players may not attempt qualification on 2 different servers). That's just my opinion. | ||

There's so many other tournaments out there that no one with only 24 hours in their day can follow and TSL (at least to me) is the most exceptional and prestigious Starcraft (2) competition there is. Simply because it's been around since BroodWar and I have so many fond memories of the first two. Not to mention the great production values, player line-up and matches. Turning it into a regular tournament schedule-wise would take away from the bits of history that come with every TSL, simply because there'd be so many matches going on one after another, comparatively. I also like the kind of "exclusiveness" that comes with being a TSL winner, or even having made it to the Ro16. Not many people can brag about it and holding a TSL every other month would also make this obsolete rather quickly. Summary: I would really like two every year, but I'm also okay with one. Not really liking the idea of more than that, but of course I'd still watch every single one, no matter the intervals inbetween. | ||

Additionally, keep the form of having the games casted on Saturdays and Sundays, allows for greater # of viewers in my opinion, lets the tournament last far longer, and allows for greater hype throughout the course of the week leading up to the matches. | ||

I mean who of us knows that at the moment the Icehockey WorldCup is taking place ? Maybe a bunch of Canadians ( haha, sorry for that troll joke, im not even american but i like this kind of jokes ^^ ) Answer : maybe 30 % of users. Where I live : Virtually no one. BUT IF THERE IS A FIFA FOOTBALL WORLD CUP WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT ? EVEEEEEERYYYYYONEEE. Hell even people who dont know nothing bout football will probably know the host countries till '22 ( Brazil, Russia, Qatar ). Why is that ? Because its special. Why is it special ? Because it's only once every 4 freaking years. Damn. So if TSL is supposed to stand out from other big tournaments like GSL or NASL, once a year seems like a reasonable time frame. PS: Sorry to all Icehockey fans. I do like Icehockey | ||

I don't want another qualifier to happen right away, but i don't wanna wait another year TSL 3 was amazing, if TSL 4 can bring same level of casting, players and excitement i want to see it at least twice a year, but don't make it something we expect and get bored of eventually. Rather once a year than just another monthly / quarterly tournament! | ||

I think that if it's something you want to continue doing on a regular schedule. You can definitely do more than once a year but not by much. The months of TLOpens to qualify and the stretched out Bracket play in itself probably span 1/4th of a year? Even more, just checked it. The first TLOpen Qualifier was on January 8th 2011. That's what 5 and a half months ago? Two times a year, not more I'd say. And considering the stat above, it could be good to look into condensing some parts. Otherwise you would be chaining them and I do feel that takes away from the hype and prestige. Maybe seasonal? Summer and Winter, that's pretty old school | ||

I think this format is and has always been one of the TSL's biggest strengths, and we've definitely seen that reflected in its results. So for this poll I'm thinking about not the next broadcast, but when the next qualifiers will start, and I think they'll have even more hype and interest if they begin within 0-3 months of the previous finals, rather than waiting ~6 months to hold only one TSL a year. While yes, overdoing it is obviously bad, the full qualifier + broadcast format takes about 6 months anyway, so barring a massive format change I think the TSL would fit very nicely at twice a year. | ||

I think holding these once a year doesn't quite seem enough -- assuming TL has like a sponsor and stuff ready to go... but we certainly don't one every other month like the GSL, of course. I'd like to see two or three a year, depending upon their length and sponsorship availability. I'm definitely ready to lose pathetically in the qualifiers again. | ||

Also, I'd like to add that TL has always been known for the quality productions it issues, and the staff has never been afraid to delay a project for as long as necessary until it's perfect. I'd rather be hyped up for a balls-to-the-wall, uber-quality tournament consisting of the highest caliber of play once a year. The TSL would become devalued if held too frequently. | ||

Maybe if the TL organization is hankering to run more tournaments they could get a team league going...although that would pose about 2 billion problems with the frequency that players are currently changing teams. I have to say though, I wouldn't be entirely opposed to the Korean format of 3 starleagues per year. In fact, if they could keep the prize money high for each event it would be pretty sweet. So I guess I'm undecided haha. | ||

The main reason I say wait a while is because it sounds like the behind the scenes guys need a break. Let them have their rest so that when they come back TSL 4 will be every bit as perfect as TSL 3 was. I don't know if it is some intrinsic property of TSL or if Hot bid and R1ch really are wizards, but it seems like TSL has no choice but to be completely epic. It goes without saying the ro32 will be excellent. You know the finals will blow your mind. I expect the other leagues are studying TSL very hard to figure out what the secret ingredient is. | ||

There's still the same world class players competing so I don't see how winning a tournament that happens annually rather than twice a year or even more often makes it any more or less of a feat. Besides, WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO WATCH MORE STARCRAFT, PEOPLE?! Come on now lol. The TSL makes weekends more enjoyable. Is a bit of prestige really worth it? IMO definitely not. You, the viewers, aren't even the ones that would gain the prestige anyway, so who (other than the players) gives a shit? And if you do then maybe ask yourself why? I'm not even sure if any of the players competing in the TSL would care about the prestige aspect. Wouldn't they want more oppourtunities to compete in such a great tournament? | ||

the best part about the TSL is that it never collides with the other tournaments, because you guys match the individual players schedules so well =D (apart from having created the best matches sc2 has seen so far <.<) i would say, get to work XD, but let me practice over the summer to join a TL Open and get my ass handed to me! | ||

The TSL for me is something bigger than a regular standart tournament. Therefor the winners to me are bigger than the winners of a weekly online cup. Excello.IefNaij liquid.tyler aka the one and only Nony mouz.ThorZaIN To make sure, that these heros stay among kings, TSL can't spamm the Winners-List. | ||

so, not weekly, monthly or sth. and more players definately. 1 half a year is perfect. I think there should be more players, like 64 with half invitees half qualifiers. games should be condensed in like 1 month, max 2. I would love it even more then! | ||

TSL needs hype and build up, two TSLs in such a short period is just not healthy for anyone. Let the SC2 scene settle down before the next TSL imo. I think twice a year is most optimal. One in spring and one in winter. Once a year would be fine too. Otherwise you become the new GSL where its just tourney on tourney on tourney, and its hard to remember and sherish the moments once they do happen because a new tournament is already happening. | ||

Don’t get me wrong I loved TSL 3, and I can barely wait for the next one! It’s just the rarity of the event that makes it so much sweeter when it’s finally time. Too much TSL might makes it the norm, but when it’s less often it becomes a prize. Even if it does start coming more often I’ll be tuning in, because the TSL would still be awesome. And hey, maybe I’m wrong and it’d turn out better. | ||

Too many tourney's, too often already. Keep the TSL as a special thing. OSL and MSL only happen 3 times a year, and that's 6 whole tourney's a year. I feel like the few times it happens increases the importance of them. I vote one year wait. | ||

I think twice a year is a good pace. I really think SC2 e-sports is getting close to saturation and I'd rather TSL remain special and unique. six months between the start of each TSL shouldl achieve that imo. | ||

people keep voting start qualifiers now because they're still jacked up on the most recent games, but they don't get or don't care that the tournament's relevance will suffer from the freshness of the last one, and it will lose a lot of prestige if it occurs too often. one per year might be a bit too much though just because the scene in sc2 is so god damned big and volatile, the TSL needs to be fresh in people's minds. 3/year seems too much because of the cluttering of major events, and the TSL is and most certainly needs to remain a major event. wait a few months, do it twice per year or every 9 months, and prepare the schedule for it depending on what MLG and GSL announce at the start of the year and work from there. | ||

The elimination bracket is a Ro32 and will likely stay that way, no? Assuming TL keeps the weekend schedule (which is brilliant) that gives us: 2 weeks for Ro32 (Sat/Sun x4 matches each) 2 weeks for Ro16 (Sat/Sun x2 matches each) 1 week for Ro8 (Sat/Sun x2 matches each) 1 week for Ro4 (Sat/Sun x1 match each) 1 week for Grand Final/3rd place (Sat/Sun x1 match each) This is 7 weeks minimum to run the actual tournament. Assuming that we keep the same format, we have: 16 seeds/invites* 8 qualifier winners 8 qualifiers on points This adds 8 more weeks of qualifiers, assuming they run one a week. (It would be possible to run more than one at a time of course but that's going to screw things up I think.) So the point is, we're talking a minimum of four months to run a TSL. That limits the TSL to a max of three seasons a year (similar to the MSL/OSL). Practically, it limits it to two seasons a year given staffing, sorting invites, scheduling, etc. TSL has been running a little less than once a year so far. I think the optimal idea is to continue the TSL as a "yearly" tournament and in fact make that the official position. I'm not inherently opposed to two seasons a year, though more is just a really bad idea - but I'm in favor of limiting the occurences. * And here's the note. I think that it would make more sense to seed 4, and then invites should be top performers from other tourneys (GSL, MLG IPL, NASL, Dreamhack, etc. depending on which events develop as most prestigious). I mean, 12 invites (or the 13 we now have) seems like a lot, but if you have top 3 GSL invited, top 3 MLG or IPL, top 3 Dreamhack, or whatever, that's completely a legit field. | ||

I could see it going twice year. Preferably with a summer season winter season sort of alternation so they feel distinct. Maybe there can be some sort of format difference? Like massive bo3 round robin groups, cut to bo7 top4? This way it feels like two independent special events, not repetitive. | ||

Keeps it elite and precious, ensures it's a BIG event with BIG prizes which again ensures it dominates the scene. It gives you something to look forward to, rather than being just that event you can qualify next month for too if you fail this time. | ||

Now is time for TSTL in the break between the TSL's. Also at people who write that we should have more than 2 a year. TSL should abolish the invite system. Only top 3 of previous TSL should get autoinvite. Rest should fight hard in TLOpens EU,NA,KR for spots and points. | ||

As a Pro Spectator, TSL was amazing, Being a PRO sc2 player needs to be a full time Job! Besides, who isn't hyped about more ThorZain the Champion matches? Or the Insanly Motivated Angry Naniwa Vegeta like Matches! Liquid Nation is so awsome. Once a year is just Silly..... Who the fuck would want to wait 10 months between TSL's. People saying the Hype will go down... Are you Kidding me. All TSL needs to do is bring in new maps each tournament and the Fun will never stop for spectators. Cause to be honest, Crevasse, Tal'Darim, Terminus are fun maps. There is so much Awsome potential for sick series in tournament Games with a Nice Prize Pool. GSL is once a month... TSL should be TWICE a month! | ||

The tsl3 has been one of the most fun to watch tournaments I have gotten a chance to kind of participate in. From the qualifiers, to ro32 upset madness, to the awesome TvT slugfest that was Thorzain vs Kas, and of course the finals. Just everymatch played with such heart, I loved it. Point is I would say make it once a year. Hype it up, get everyone excited, and do it right. And by do it right I mean do it exactly the same and hope it turns out just as good. | ||

I would rather have that 1 amazing tournament every year, that gets 100% effort put into it. Then have the same tournament being run 4-5 times a year, not getting enough time to prepare and not have 100% effort because by the 3rd time everyone is tired. | ||

But. I know that making TSL possible is an HUGE (humoungus?) effort and to make everything so smooth requires many hours of work so I think that TL staff deserves some time to rest and enjoy the credits of the excelent tournament that they gave us. Besides: if we had TSL every month and a half it would surely lose quality and interest. I aprove TSL every 6 months (an year is to looong...!). | ||

That said, the TSL3 was the best online tournament ever, in my view, so I'd love to see something similar from the geniuses at Team Liquid. Just maybe on a smaller scale if it's going to be more regular. EDIT: While keeping the main event, of course. | ||

2 is fine. 1 every 6months. 4 is interesting since you can have 1 for each season of the year, Spring TSL, Summer TSL, Fall TSL, Winter TSL. you can decorate the hype with seasonal decorations, so much can be done with this that i would even go as far as saying go for it 4 times a year, ;\ | ||

I feel 1 a year is a little too spread out, and now is too soon after the epic TSL3. | ||

B) I don't want the TSL to feel like "yet another big tournament" that happens often. GSL is awesome, but it starts to lose its luster after having 6+ a year. C) Why not stick with the traditional once a year? Keeps the hype huge, although we could have more spread out qualifiers | ||

Very few things in StarCraft get me that pumped, that excited. I don't want that to change. I don't want to be checking the calendar going "Oh, they should be announcing TSL this week if they want to start it on time." Whether it's yearly or twice a year or whatever, just keep us on our toes about it. | ||

Doesn't mean you can't do TSL Jr. Start your own monthly torurnament, but make it less prestiege-y then the TSL. | ||

SC ESPORTS are flooded with weekly tournaments, GSL, leagues etc. Having another TSL right now (and continuing in that vein) means it is in danger of being swept up into a big cloud of ESPORTS noise and losing that special je ne sais quoi that makes the TSL so special. | ||

2 months of qualify and 2 months tourney would mean 2 months break if its a twice a year event wich would be perfect to me. But i question the comunity has so much influence since its a sponsored event... | ||

Twice a year at most. People voting don't need anymore are the group of people that think the tournament is horribly managed, and though that is true to an extent, it gets better everytime its hosted. | ||

Though, doing a qualifier system, somewhat like a poker tournament, would be interesting.. Open Qualifiers, Random Ro'X'/tourneys, and events strung throughout the year, offering up an invitation to select few people, and the ability to register to each of these 'invitation' events regardless if you were knocked out of any other event. Just my 2 cents, and it's probably been/being done. | ||

I would not be opposed to a true team liquid league but keep the TSL something special and let the anticipation build up between events. | ||

Also, my wife would leave me. She's very supportive of my SC2 life, but there are limits. Please, for the sake of my marriage, don't overdo the TSL. Edit to add: If the resources and the interest is there, it would be really cool if you did a BW TSL, as some of the other posters are suggesting. I've actually really gotten interested in BW (I was one of those silly people who just thought it was a game when it came out and stopped playing after a couple years) as a result of my interest in SC2, and I'd love to see a foreigner tournament. Given that most of the big foreign names have moved over to SC2 since its release, though, I don't know if the level of talent in the foreign player pool is high enough for a TSL (I'm not trolling foreign BW players, I honestly don't know). | ||

Actually, I think that once a year is optimal, but darn do I want me some more TSL action! It is easily the best SC2 tournament I've watched, and I think it should be a special event with as large a prizepool as possible, bringing in the best talent, and having the players focus on the event and truly bring their A game. This might be possible with a twice-a-year setup, however, provided that there's enough money for a competetive prizepool and enough passion and engangement from the staff so that it can be at least as good as the TSL3. In short - 2 times a year tops, and only if it can be made as big and as good as TSL3. But I still want more... | ||

while $15,000 is obviously great money, it's is not as significant as the $10k in BW since that was by far the most prize money of any tournament that a foreigner had a realistic chance of winning. It was like the superbowl of foregin SC, it drew out the best foreigners, even those who had been inactive like nony or draco. The ladder process was the best, since anyone had an equal opportunity of making the top 48 and ultimately winning. Obbiously, it also drew the largest number of non-korean fans, and was a great way for new people to join and appreciate the community. If the TSL has the most prize money, and is held once a year in SC2, it will hold a similar level of intensity to what it was in BW, especially since it still has the legendary name of TSL. | ||

Remember that 12 months apart doesn't mean the TSL season itself is 12 months apart, just the finals/start time. So that in reality it is a lot shorter since the qualifier and playoff process takes at least a month each. | ||
