hm, for me TSL3 was one of the first truly international sc2 tournaments were all the different players played against each others. The foreigner underdogs winnig against the koreans surley helped build up the hype. And it was not just the players, it was also very diffrent styles - just remember goodys mech-bulid against nestea, mondragons roaches against anything or thorzains thors.
Today there is nothing special anymore. International tournaments with players from all over the world are standard and so are the most of the playstyles, so for me TSL4 feels more like just "annother online-tournament".
But I don't want to talk it down, TSL is still a very nice and entertaining tournament with great players and games. It just misses the stand-alone-status from before.

There wouldn't be enough templar energy to feedback everything (and if they did they wouldn't have storm), and strike cannon would have been so useful in that engagement.
Combine that with an absurdly late timing for such a mech allin (nada does that all the time but much earlier attack timings before storm usually) and literally no unit spread whatsoever and sting gets roflstomped on daybreak
That's exactly what I was thinking... plus, there were plenty of immortals to deal with the thors anyway, so there was almost no need to use feedback on the thors since storming all those marines was really important.
It surely got scouted, and First had plenty of time to prepare, so it was a really weird strategy from Sting.

First is not "some guy", and sting is a very underrated yet teamless terran.

I don't think it's just a lack of foreigners, it's also lack of well-known Koreans like MC/DRG/NesTea/MvP/MKP etc.

Dude you don't recognise someone who's been in Code-S for 8 seasons in a row. Of course you don't know who these guys are.

Yep. Marauder FE build is kinda shitty.

The viewer numbers disagree.
95% of the foreign community has no idea who these people are. They'd be watching if this was MKP vs MC. That was my only point, I'm not saying they're not great players.

First could easily become one of the absolute top protosses in the world I don't see why you wouldn't want to watch him.

I haven't watched GSL since 2011 May. I probably know his name, but I don't recognize him.
