Yea, (at least, English) commentary and production is so superior, that I voted GSTL. But clearly Proleague has the exciting games. But now GSTL has Innovation...

I've been watching Starcraft 2 since the start of WCS, I only played WoL casually before hand. I've been really enjoying Starcraft since, but I was hesitant to buy a GSTL season ticket. However, I really wanted to watch and root for team acer so I brought it and after only 3 matches I'm so happy with my purchase. The production is great, I can watch the VODs spoiler free and the games are of a great quality. So far I love GSTL.
ATC was good as well, but I only watched the offline finals.

I really do enjoy ATC but I don't feel the urge of catching each and every one of the episodes due to them being offline. It's by far the best online one, though. Even with the replays and stuff released. It's really great.

I never watch Proleague or GSTL because of the times and I prefer to watch live games, so vods or sc2l are not for me.
Therefore I'm stuck with ATC, but I have been enjoying it quite a lot. While the quality of the games might not be as high as in Proleague, the crew of Take are definitely the better cooks.

quality of matches in my opinion has to go to Proleague. I think overall broadcast enjoyment has to be GSTL though, because it actually has English content. I hate how Proleague has to piggy-back broadcast OGN basically. And it makes me sad how much people hate on the casting, because SNM and Whiplash are alright. Sure it would be better, but the overall vibe of Proleague is brought down due the the lack of English content for the English stream, so I think the casting suffers greatly. What if they had obs control? They wouldn't have to sound completely clueless when trying to figure out what the obs was saying, they could do it themselves. People tend to overlook that when they just spew hate towards SNM. That said, I have always felt more of a connection to eSF, so GSTL had been more fun to watch until they lost everyone. Still as a huge PartinG fan Proleague is great because I can see him play regularly and I CAN ACTUALLY GET FREE VODS FOR PROLEAGUE. SC2L was ruined for me because it wasn't played live (except the finals which will be). I think it had potential to be much better, but I understand why having them play live just isn't feasible. Honestly I haven't watched very much ATC because I'm always at school when it's on, but I did watch the finals and they were pretty entertaining. I do prefer the all-kill format to the match-up format, so that definitely for me is another reason to enjoy it.

GSTL all time favourite.
People playing good there, usually are the ones climbing fast later in the GSL/WCS.

GSTL has the best games and I like the format more, so easy choice for me. Though if the teams that dropped GSTL will move over to SPL ... then I guess game quality will get better there, poor old Kespa teams though. Just my personal opinion, I didn't really follow SPL after a while, because of the games being often rather weird in a bad way. Gave it another chance after everyone commented so well on SPL, but it did not really change my opinion.

so much this. Every other teamleague is played online, and I really couldn't care less about any form of online competition, especially given that most of them are casted from replays. Also watching foreigners play vs koreans, or even worse vs other foreigners, is kinda sad nowadays.

I like proleague more because I like the kespa teams more and the format is way more appealing to me, plus personally since I never pay any attention to what exactly the casters are talking about, I prefer proleague as they don't shout as much as khaldor.

For the previous season I said GSTL for sure, but the upcoming season if proleague has IM, MVP, and Prime, I might end up preferring proleague.

Surprised proleague is leading over GSTL considering GSTL always beats it on viewership.

I like how Proleague experiments with different kinds of maps.

Proleague is the best league regarding everything but the english stream (really? bad casting duo and not even english overlays?)

I really prefer GSTL because of GOM production and casters. Love Whiplash, but Khaldor and Wolf are pretty good entertainers. But if I were to make the decision based on team matchups only, I would choose Proleague, as I'm sure many more people would as well. Too many things to talk about under this poll.
