I never followed any sort of team leagues at all. Not even in bw.

Doesn't appeal to me. I don't like team anything really. Also, the matches are usually a weird bo1 KotH format which is not the same as outplaying someone in a series. It seems like there is less skill and hardwork involved.

I'll watch individual games if they are good or interesting when people talk about them though.

Proleague... it's got the players and history that no other league can hope to compete with... and lets face it, history is one of the few things that SC2 has that sets it apart from the others.

I prefer SC2L since the commentary is so good. Don't get me wrong I love pro-league but sometimes I just cant listen to those guys and it takes away from the games.

Proleague, but the others also nice.

I even enjoyed Supernovamanic and Whiplash, I think they are quite funny.
The Maps are cool, and you can see many many games per week on highest level, no matter even who plays.

The thing with SC2L is that its casted from replays.. It feels so unprofessional. And sometimes the replays take forever to get on youtube :-/ But the casting is great tho, and the games are awsome :-) My 2cents :-)

Proleague>>GSTL>>SC2L>>ATC.

Proleague's length makes it feel a lot more like a very, very professional league. I enjoy how each team plays every other team 6 times, it's also nice for teams, because if you don't have a good round, you can try to do better next round and hopefully fix the issues. Most importantly, I love the proleague format, makes it feel more "team" based because you can't just rely on a super power like innovation or rain or flash to carry the entire team.

GSTL has the best english production down. Players in booths, high quality streams and VOD's and two of the best casters around. the teams they have are incredibly skilled and the matches are usually very cool to watch.

SC2L and ATC are basically tied, the SC2L only wins slightly because it has more foreign teams, and it's not like I have a hard on for foreigners over koreans like a lot of sc2 fans do, but it is nice to have a league where more foreigners are playing because there is GSTL and Proleague already and I love how each player can be entertaining to watch even if they aren't the highest level of skill.

Historically, GSTL most certainly.

I think this upcoming proleague is a lot more exciting than the current GSTL, though.

Game quality : Proleague
Entertainment quality : Proleague
Players' range of involvement : Proleague

As for the shoutcasting... I'd rather not mention it, it's sort of irrelevant in the vote.

Proleague, primarily for the format and maps. I just love seeing a variety of players, maps and playstyles rather than the same few over and over. And only Proleague consistently delivers this.

the only team league i sort of follow regularly is gstl, i watched some prolegue but the broadcasting times are just in the range of horrible to impossible for me. at the end of the day i just follow (and play) starcraft more causual and don't realy consider starcraft to be a team game. if i want toe see teams in action i watch other stuff.
ps. yes i know that proleague was the shit back in bw, but i never followed professional bw.

I haven't watched for a while now so maybe they've changed. Anyway, I just can't stand watching any OGN broadcast be it LoL or SC2 because of the full-screen "dramatic face-zooms" (full screen being the key here because they do add a certain something). Too often you don't get to see exacly how zergs sets up their units just before the fight happens (or how LoL-teams position themselves) and the exact timing of when they send in what units and (atleast for me) that's one of the most exciting things and something (atleast one of the things) that separates the great from the good and we don't get to see it because they haven't figured out picture-in-picture. In 2013.

Don't Counterstrike, Quake and Dota all have long histories?
