Sadly I feel the same way. Im gonna watch anyway just to show support for TSL, but its a little uninteresting.
Why? You don't like good players?
They didn't say the players weren't good, except you can see this each week, in every Korean weekly. Just thought TSL4 would be more unique in this respect; and it was, with all the foreigners, but that was in the much earlier rounds. I'm enjoying myself, but in the same way I enjoy KSL.
I just find it a bit dis-respectful to the players to claim that a tournament is disinteresting just because of the flag on their passport.
It's only because all the flags are the same, not just because of the specific country. That's just how it is, competitions are more compelling if the viewer has someone to identify with like an underdog or someone of their own nationality or region, but if it's all people from one country it's less interesting and it's unavoidable.
Does this have to be discussed every tournament? The better players win, get over it or go pro yourself and change the trend.

It's times like these I wonder about the more important things in life. Why does the play mouseover noise on the sc2 launcher sound like a machine gun when repeatedly "mouseovering"?

At least to me it didnt seem like the problem was that they are korean. The problem he was talking about (at least it seemed to me) is the lack of uber known players (note known and not skilled). If the players were euro or NA the sentence would still be the same but instead of korean insert EU or NA.
Or he is just one of those people that hate koreans in SC2 idk...but at least to me it didnt seem like that was the problem but instead the lack of big names.
But then he claimed TSL 3 was interesting when the finals were two nobodies that achieved nothing of note in Warcraft 3.
Thorzain was the storyline of the TSL3 and Naniwa was the most successful foreigner to date at that point.... So calling them unknowns is bizarre.
But again it really wasnt about where they were from. I just find it hard to get behind players that I know next to nothing about. If MKP were playing DRG right now I would be more interested.

Why would anyone wear cleats indoors?
TSL production is done outdoors.
On top of a mountain, with a 56k modem on a 486 as the main stream machine right?

The fuck? That isn't even the point. Your last statement is incredibly asinine. You obviously took that way too personally.
