I prefer to watch the best, which is why I've purchased a GSL subscription... but I have to admit that WCS is great to follow, I am enjoying it a lot.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

They both have their places, college football and the nfl are both able to exist.

i think it´s always good, to have some personalities in the scene and young rising players instead of only some koreans, i think in tourneys like MLG the focus in the first rounds should be on young talents or more unknown players, because in the end youo will have koreans over koreans.

Depends... obviously you wanna see great players.
But if it's 16 koreans or 14 koreans and 2 foreigners I'm not watching it.

Depends on the tourney. For Example I expect the top of the top in GSL Code S. I like the mix of Top Koreans and Top International players in MLG. Every other tourney I like seeing new players with a few good names top stir attentopn.
Love always wins.

I started watching eSports because I like seeing what the best players in the world can do with StarCraft 2, and I still love seeing highly skilled games. However, I have really been enjoying the WCS because of the nationalistic elements. I can't wait to see players like Scarlett, Vibe, and djRecco going up against the best from other parts of the world.

What I'm trying to say is...I want more of BOTH!!!
StarCraft is the hardest, most beautiful game in the world.

I prefer a combination of the two. Seeing rising talent beat rising talent means nothing. Seeing rising talent beating established players, on the other hand...

This poll was very hard, i like to learn from the very best, but sometimes the metagames are too far from my understanding and watching some local "pro" gamer would help me... though choice to make indeed
Being a pro its not easy at all, i know it,i cant be one

I prefer to watch good games. There is more probabilty that better players will give us better games, but still for example Puck vs TLO with 4 warp prisms and continuous harassment from both players is much better than standard push seen 100 times from Taeja outright killing DRG. Lastly I enjoyed OSL games the most I think.

This poll is hard, because if 'best possible players' means watching something like MKP vs Seed then of course I'll watch that. But if it's just a mid level korean playing then I'd usually go for the local option.

A mixture of both. Since there's no both option... I picked the best players. If I HAD to choose one... I'd watch the best players, because if I could only watch "decent" players I wouldn't be learning much.
