and then there were Jaedongs slumps being brought up by overwork.

he carried OZ for a few seasons, then had a slump and then had to go back to carrying.

all kill formats are exciting, and i don't necessarily think it's a bad format, but it's definitely not as good for the players/teams. it's mostly for the viewers. you don't build a team by having everyone hold up the best player, you build a team by everyone supporting eachother, bearing equal weight, the strong hold up the weak, ect. thats why proleague format is so good, at least to me.

I agree, it takes away some of the glamour from the team league. In BW Proleague was the most prestigious tournament, but in SC2 it seems like a fun thing on the side (though I do enjoy it far more). I think GSTL loses a lot of its clout because of all-kills and carries. So many series would have been much closer, and there would be a lot more pride on the line for the teams. If GSTL wants to be the premier team league they should switch.

All Kill format does have a place though, I do enjoy it. Luckily NASTL and IPL use it though, so everyone can be happy if GSTL switches.

Well as someone who came in here with no learned sense of TL's layout of stuff, I found it easy to find what I wanted.

So it can't be that bad.

What you're seeing now is the final draft after many edits

When I first did it it looked abysmal

NASTL uses proleague format btw! Good to see the GSTL back again, I think FXO has a good shot today.

Was Proleague really more prestigious than an OSL? GSTL going with other format might be a good change, although i really like the idea of player snipers. How does that play out in PL? All I know is that there's potentially an ace match where a player can make a repeat appearance, but I'm not sure if that always happens or if it has to be even. Seeing more players would be a definite pro.

For GOM, I think they do intend for the GSTL to be a side-event for the up and comers of the teams to shine, since they recently removed the exposure of Code A and made it hard to get into Code S. An all-kill format is the best way for newer players to get recognized, seeing as how players like Taeja, Curious, Hack, Jjakji, Sage first received fame from getting 3-4 kills or other players like MMA/DRG coming out as the ace to take out better players like MC/MVP/NesTea.

EDIT: Livestream/KPOP is up, btw!
