I mean the world cup wouldnt be the world cup if it was played every month. The thing that makes it special is that the one who wins trully is the best for the next 4 years. People can only take so much of one thing, breaks are needed, just look at any major sport. | ||

I honestly can't understand people crying about too many games. | ||

There need to be something of the sorts at the bottom to build from, then you can start with rarer and more special tournaments. (though isn't GSL having one of those eventually? every 6 months or so, think I remember something about that) So complaining about too short pauses between seasons, well that's kinda weird for me. Just watch from the quarters/semi's then, or grab the recommended games. The more games the merrier is my opinion  It's not like we have a ton of champions yet either. I would say the GSL trophy hangs pretty high still. | ||

People can only take so much of one thing, breaks are needed, just look at any major sport. The players in the world cup have teams and leagues to go back to between breaks. When the world cup isn't happening I can go watch the premier league and stuff. Not much high level games you can watch besides GSL. Some players kind of need the income too. | ||

I was actually basing it on the amount of ppl that were showing up for games (like the opening ceremony of GSL4). Even though Artosis & Co tried to rationalise I just felt that it was wishful thinking. Maybe so many ppl showed up because it was the grand final and not because the game is gaining in popularity? | ||

I was under the impression that GSL is losing its popularity... No people compare SC2 to BW which is an established sport. No idea why they try to do this  But watching the OSL, it was really exciting how many people they had turn up. I just felt bad that mother speeches aside,+ Show Spoiler + the Fantasy-Stork game was as one sided and lasted about as long as the 4-0. Next time! | ||
