Not balance whine. It's just going to be a laughable ZvP final...

It's just going to be a laughable ZvP final... not when Life is playing it :D. Be open to ZvP's. A lot of them can be very entertaining depending on the players.

Its no secret that people want to watch their favorite players, and while I am a big fan of a lot of korean players, it seems like every other tournament another set of koreans dominate who I haven't really heard of before, and while I'm down to watch any pros playing, it does hurt interest a lot when people go to see who's in the finals and its two more koreans who they haven't heard much of. Creator is getting pretty big now with his big WCS Korea championship, but yeah as long as random koreans keep dominating tournaments, international viewership numbers will drop. Its not that people "don't want to watch high quality games" but they want to watch players who they have vested interest in. Is Destiny a top Code S player? Well sadly not really, but at mlg when he was playing TONS of people were gathered around watching because he is wildly popular. Its the same way with any other sport too.

I don't know if one of the people responsible for this will read this and maybe they even have numbers that prove the opposite, but in my opinion the TSL is disappointing. Its sad to say this because I realy appreciate all the effort the team puts into it but I guess negative feedback will help aswell.
The TSL tournaments were always a special event for me, simply because they were one of the things that got me interested into SC esports, along with the GOM classics. They had many interesting matches, good casters, a time schedule that poses nearly no problems for europeans and a lot of famous players. In addition there always was much emotion in the games, who does not remember stuff like the Idra / Nony games in TSL 2?
In TSL 4 however, maybe because of the qualification process, a lot of players are (and I mean this not in a disrespectfull way) kinda unknown koreans or other random players. If you compare the list to the TSL3 participants there is realy a big big difference. Everytime I look the numbers of viewers on the stream are kinda disappointing (or just look at the replies in the LR threads here on TL) and since Ro16 I can pretty much just watch GSL instead, its nearly the same and its live.
Yes, its the players fault if they can't win against all the invited koreans but I want good games, emotion and (a little atleast) drama when old rivals meet each other. You can't help with the games, but the other things could get changed. Kinda the same problem the MLG has, its just not the same anymore.

Ya this is about as balanced as we could get, and the two finalists are definitely the most deserving of the four.
I'm just hoping we actually get exciting games out of it.

Where are the VODs for this? I invited friends over to introduce them to Starcraft 2 as a sport.
I went to load the VODs but the TSL4 semifinals have never been posted to the TSL4 website. It was pretty disappointing to sit around and explain to my friends that there was no way to watch the games, and we ended up watching a division 2 college football fiasco

Is that really TSL semis LR thread ? Not even 30 pages for 2 semi finals ?

When I saw in the top right that the finals were already here I was blown away, I haven't watched it since Hasu got eliminated, I want to support TL so I will probably check out the vods of the Protoss games. I just have 0 hype this time around.
