I find the micro-intense GSL games to be far more entertaining than most games from MLG. Not saying there weren't any good games at MLG, because there definitely were some, but none put me on the edge of my seat like some GSL series did. Did you see Foxer vs. Kyrix? Best series I have ever seen. Boxer vs. Nada was an awesome display of TvT. To each his own I guess. I think we need the best from both worlds as well. I did find the GSL s2 finale a bit boring I must admit. Sen vx QXC was pleasent to watch. Jinro vs Socke on Desert Oasis, was pure fun, but if every game was this long, it would also be boring. | ||

That's the most misleading statement ever. Any Korean can sign up for the GSL. Most of the foreigners who signed up for the GSL were players who flew overseas because they thought they had a serious shot of qualifying. If the top 15 Koreans flew to the US to compete in the MLG, I think it's fair to say at least 50% of them would qualify as well. People need to stop comparing the top foreigners with the entire Korean SC2 community as a basis of skill differences (or lack of). | ||

KotB? lmao foreigners are maintaining over 50% winrate vs koreans in both korean and non-korean tournaments. What more do u want? lets take the ancient history of global gamers inviational for example. Apart from Capoch 4 gating half of korean then-top ten into oblivion we also had Fruitdealer- then World Cup champ, in a few month time GSL1 champ losing in round 1 to Andro. | ||

I would say that the level of play at Raleigh and DC was a bit of a joke, to be honest. It was only barely a step above a stacked CraftCup. Anyone in the top 32 of the first or second GSL would be a clear favorite over all but the very top players in those events. However, Dallas was quite the tournament, with many incredible games being played. It was not even on the same level as previous MLG events. Level of play is proportionate to the prize pool, usually, which is why people who live in Korea will always be ahead of people who don't. They have more motivation to devote their lives to the game. | ||
