I'm sure they'll get there eventually. yeah i hope at least flash or jangbi can reallyyy rip up their groups and go deep, maybe a finals appearance at least. even if they have to beat my fav players, it would be better for the game in the long run i think if a kespa fan favourite does really well | ||

I don't expect any of these tournaments to draw the crowds that BW used to pull or even that LOL is pulling now. Still, it depresses me that the BW fans wouldn't at least support the players. I mean, I'm not one to talk since I love SC2 but I know the players feel bad about the switch, they could use some support. And to second the question, are ODT's always this empty? I highly doubt it though. | ||

There are interviews with the OSL casters where they say that a lot of the crowd care more about the players and less about the game, so with only one member of TBLS in this OSL that is surely contributing to low crowd numbers. | ||

i am sure with time things will even out alot more, with proleague finishing etc. i do expect some players to quit, maybe leave teams and join sc2 teams, mergers etc. the scene has to change quite a bit. Right now no one knows quite what to think. especially since Kespa and non-kespa still are seperated most of the time, still very segmented. | ||

I don't see the Kespa players being competitive as a whole for another 6+ months at least. | ||

I highly doubt it though. Well, GOM studio in Mok Dong only holds about 50 people. And during Code A the studio is frequently unfilled. Since this is just an extension to the prelims I guess I'm not surprised at all that it isn't filled. Come time for the actual tournament to begin I think there will be bigger crowds. Edit: And ofc there are more than 50 people at the Finals. But that's not what we're discussing ^_^ | ||

In future i hope they have to fight alongside everyone else for spots and in tournaments. | ||

MC winning the first OSL would be beautiful, same for MVP. I don't think the Kespa players will take as long as 6 months to competitive, maybe to reach Code S/OSL winner levels, but I think they will start taking games from Code S players soon and we could see a few reach the next Code A. That's another benefit of the double elim format in the WCS for them. | ||

A couple of Kespa players made it through the WCS qualifiers and those were harder than the Code A qualifiers. While the Code A qualies are still brutal it's not quite the same degree as they used to be when half the best players were still outside the GSL, and you see several people who might not really be on that kind of level make it in off an easy draw the last few seasons. | ||
