The mystique of korean vs foreigner of last TSL is gone too since that happens all the time now. I don't think a thorzain/naniwa tsl 4 finals would draw 50k today. No two foreigners playing would, regardless of who they are. But you put Stephano or Idra up against MVP. or MKP and you would draw around 50k in the right setting. | ||

That players who are fan favorites should be seeded into the TSL not regarding their current performance? I do wanna see the best players playing and winning the TSL and no "sorry you korean guys are too good" tournament. It was different in TSL 1&2, as the skill gap in broodwar was like the grand canyon compared to the sc2 skill gap. For me it is enough to divide the spots by doing an KR, EU and US Qualifier. I personally really favor White Ra. I love his personality, his playstyle etc. But i wouldnt wanna see him in TSL if he didnt deserve the spot so im not dissapointed. Every big name in the foreign and korean scene had the chance to qualify for the TSL, so i dont mind not to see Stephano, IdrA or MC, MVP, DRG | ||

I feel no passion for sc2 as an esport anymore since koreans are everywhere and i guess many feel like me since viewer numbers are down. either that or sc2 is dying. Same, I watched some here and there, other than that I just checked liquipedia even though its broadcasted at 8pm for me. The main drawbacks is that there weren't really any interesting players that I cared about, and it was also online which is just less exciting overall, I also feel like the general skill level of casters have gone down over time and it's just not interesting to watch and I find myself just tapping out of the game. | ||

The problem is that there is a new "Protoss Hope" every month, most of them seem to stick around but never win anything after this initial big success. | ||

Also I just want to give you huge props and thank you for your awesome OPs you always create! | ||
