I'm running out of hardrive. Each OSL use to be around 8~10 gigs, but now it's almost doubled... about 15 gigs... T_T

Plus 12 games of OSL plus 4 games of MSL is too much!

voted even racial distribution... but also the more the merrier

i like the group format because we see more bo1s with different players being matched up

but i think they might as well have gone to 32 players, and make groups of 4 with top two advancing... it'd be pretty close to the number of games now anyway (with the 3rd place wildcards, although i didn't calculate), and the group stage games would be more important and more exciting.
I BELIEVE IN CAPITAL LETTER PUNISHMENT!!!!!

Racial distribution? Too many Koreans

But seriously. It would be nice to watch the mu's equally.

I agree with pop that is it bullshit that 1-2 players make it to the playoffs. It just means the round of 24 isnt worth anything.

It also sucks that there are so many games. It is really a chore to stay on top of these tournaments now. I guess it is easier for the casual fan if you just watch your favorite gamer, but to follow everything is almost a full time job.

As I have said before, either a better 24 man format (even 32 man with top two moving on) or go back to 16. Personally, one playday a week per tournament is enough for me. It would also open up the proleague more for coverage.

Now I just download starting from the Sweet 16 unless there's an amazing game in the Round of 24.

Less is more man. I felt the same with the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA World Cup, when they did the same thing to them.

Hmmm I'm very surprised by the poll results actually. TL has always taken pride in quality over quantity. We all know how GG.net loves quantity and um... yeah. I very much prefer high quality games that are few rather than dozens of games with noname rookies getting trashed or playing each other.

I should say that I love Starcraft as a spectator. Its almost more fun than playing to me.

But with the maps and some of the match ups(Like having a week of mostly TvT or something) I find it kinda hard to really look forward to anything but the most hyped of matches.

Between OSL, MSL, Proleague and the far too often Super Fights im finding that I dont pay attention to the qualifier leagues at all anymore and I will often skip a week of MSL or OSL if none of my fav players are playing or its all mirrors. And I consider myself MAD hardcore about watching this shit, hardcore enough to consider ordering the Korean pack for Dish network so I can tivo OSL. Hardcore enough to stay up until 5am to watch the games on a semi-often basis.

But if im finding my interest moderately waning... I wonder what a casual fan of the game is going to be like.

Definitely think old format with 32 players would be a really good balance between being able to feature more star players along with some new ones and keeping the match count down.

Almost 1/4 of the people don't care. Not viewing OSL and not caring are actually the same thing -_-;;
