I think 3 people were hoping for massive Protoss buffs in the next patch.

GSTL was pretty fun overall. I wouldn't mind at all if they had a GSTL for every 2 normal seasons.

Honestly, i would be in favor of expanding the GSTL to a proleague-style format and having it run at the same time as the GSL all the time. Really adds some depth to the SC2 korean scene.

Yes, this. The team leagues keep solid players who get eliminated early in the individual tournaments in the limelight instead of disappearing until the next individual tournament. It allows good players who are slumping a way to play out of their slump. It also allows race and map snipers who are good versus certain races and on certain maps a chance to shine.

I think it would be cool, if the GSTL would reserve a single slot in Code A for a "Most Valuable Newcomer" from the team competition; someone voted on by all the teams as deserving of a slot at the big time.

We saw some awesome play from players we wont be seeing in the GSL at all this go round.

I'm watching the finals again today, and its better the second time around.

Just finished watching these games.

Fantastic.

Is this the pinnacle of SC2 gaming or just the beginning? With the new maps just coming out and 2 expansions on the way... it gets you excited.

This was the first time I could legitimately say that SC2 was more fun than watching SC1.

It's clearly all about the maps.

I'll be interested to see how Blizzard adjusts to this... because balancing on small maps is very different than big maps. If they continue to balance for ladder maps it may create a big problem for big maps.

Early on it seems Toss benefits the most from the big maps... maybe new strategies will develop but I'd hate to see a situation, if it became necessary, where Toss dominated the big maps but Blizzard couldn't nerf them because they'd become uncompetitive on small ladder maps.

I also agree that GSTL is a far more interesting format than GSL. The camaraderie of the team and exuberance of the younger, developing players gives it more of a "sports" feeling.

fk it, I'm now convinced to buy the Season Pass.

There's a huge chance of it not working for me (Gom bugs out for me) but I don't care, i'm willing to risk it just from the rave reviews.

paying now...

DANG! GSTL was awesome! I never bought any of the season passes for the GSL... but after reading this thread I was intrigued by team league. I bought the pass for GSTL and WOW it was awesome I love it SO much more than the GSL. The teams are awesome and great to see the underdog team Startale do so well!

Really worth the $5. I actually enjoyed watching the GSTL more than *most* of the GSL open season matches.

GSTL > GSL

Honestly it was so good, waiting for the pick after their lose, all the drama, very tight competition overall because team knows wich of their players can snipe others. It's very more exciting compared to the normal GSL.

For semantics purposes:

GOM: Gretech Online Movie
GSL: GOM Starleague
GSTL: GOM StarLeague Team League
GSL Open: GOM StarLeague Open Tournament (I, II, or III)
GSL Code-S: GOM StarLeague Code-S Tournament Season (I, or whatever number. Only 1 season so far)
GSL Code-A: GOM StarLeague Code-A Tournament Season (I, or whatever number. Only 1 season so far)

Thus, the GSTL > GSL or GSL > GSTL argument is stupid. That is like saying apples are better than fruits.

I see what you are saying and I think that people should be more specific on the type of competition that they are talking about but too be fair I think they are just being simplistic by referring the solo comps as GSL and GSTL as the team comp and I think most people understand that. I belief the G in GSL, GSTL, GSL Open, GSL Code-S & GSL Code-A stands for 'Global'. While the S in GSL, GSTL, GSL Code-S, GSL Code-A stands for StarCraft 2.

Back to the topic of the thread. I think that the level of entertainment in the grand final is through the roof and I am excited at how well the startale guys will do in the upcoming GSL Mar. Like most people in the thread I too would like to see a bigger GSTL. I hope the success of this GSTL will allow GOM to gain some sponsors for upcoming GSTL so that it will be bigger and more fun than before.

I was amazed by this too. I'm just assuming some of the no's were from people who didn't purchase the ticket and didn't watch. After watching the tournament I can't comprehend a no vote.
