I put down a little bit. I do want to note that it's because I don't watch a ton of GSL because of the time, so I see a lot of western SC2. So I know western players, and the finals were a bunch of players were ones i was mostly unfamiliar with and all my favorite players were out. Once I become familiar with playstyles and personalities of the Koreans, I'll be more than happy that the best players are winning, Korean or not.

Nope, I love watching the koreans so it only drove my interest more. Plus I love watching TvT.

I was less interested when all the foreigners got knocked out, and even more so when Boxer got knocked out. I love how good the Koreans are and all but i tune in to MLG for north american players. I don't like it when some Koreans can jump out here for a weekend and get top 5 then leave. There isn't really a loss for them like it is for us to go to Korea for a month.

i would prefer to see more foreigners IF they could bring to the table the same level of gameplay the koreans bring, they currently cannot so i prefer to watch koreans

Maybe a little bit; The result was ALWAYS going to happen you invite the best terrans from Korea they are going to eat ANYONE alive. GGs none the less i didnt watch all the games towards end though Korean TVT is pretty unique and not so fun on the eyes @ 3am

I stopped watching after BoxeR lost. After that I wasn't too interested in which player won and went to watch Curb and Entourage.

After the Liquid guys+ Boxer was out of it I didn't watch the rest, but I also had to drive home that night (Newcastle to Boro) so it did have an impact on me going earlier rather than later.

the TvT's killed the finals for me and my friends, we all play P/Z and we were disappointed with the shit bracket that MLG had around this time. SO many early PvPs it was almost like it was rigged. Worst MLG for me I'd have to say, I stopped watching the semi finals and decided to play SC2 instead of watching tank warfare for 3 hours

I just wanted to watch high quality SC games which is exactly what was delivered. Nationality didn't bother me and neither did TvT.

I was cheering on The Emporer and then MMA "#1 plz" afterward.

It severely affected my interest, It just came down to tons of korean terrans that I dont have an opinion on. So i really didnt care who won.

I would have liked to have seen at least on foreigner considering that matchup could have occurred in the GSL, but they earned the right to play and that's why i voted for best players

Yes, I stopped caring. I feel less connected to Koreans in general and I felt I didn't really care about who won.

Even as someone who loves watching a good TvT, there were still enough to even get me a little bored. I would have much rather seen a top foreign toss or zerg against a korean terran.

PS EVO was super hype by comparison, which unfortunately made me care slightly less about MLG.

I don't give a shit about nationality, I only care about the quality of the games.

wanna c the best play. koreans are the best. Korean Terrans are the best. i found the TvT's matches very enjoyable. i understand some people dont like the matchup maybe because they never play it. but it's so sick. MOAAAR koreans !

the TvT's did but not as much as I would have thought. Mostly due to how amazing the TvT's turned out lol

The wording is extremely misleading. Affecting interest can be in a positive or negative manner... I would have said "Yes" but the implication seems to be that a "Yes" answer means loss of interest, whereas I was more interested. The huge portion of TvT's was unfortunate though, so I put that.
