Rain is pretty cheesy now too. He did an immortal sentry rush into losing the OSL against Maru

there aren't enough tournaments to build new rivalries. Say that to the BW rivals. For a while you had 3 MSL's and 3 OSL's a year + WCG and GOMTV tournaments. That and they would meet in Proleague. That wasn't the norm, though. Besides, now you still have what, 4-5 GSL/OSLs (?), same amount seasonal finals, 1 global final, WCG korea (if anyone cares about that), plus the couple foreign tournaments that still matter, like dreamhack finals. I'm specifically referring to Korean tournaments since I much prefer their broadcast model to the 2-3 day events. This year we had 1 GSL(WoL, pretty much irrelevant now and the finalists are no longer doing well). 2 WCS GSL'S, 1 WCS OSL and WCG Korea(Hey, Sora was fun). In 2011 There were 9 GSL's, Blizzard Cup, WCG Korea, two Arena of Legends events and probably some others I'm forgetting. Foreign tournaments hardly ever build good rivalries, the only exception I can think of is polt vs stephano. Plus three korean seasonal finals and a global finals. You could almost count the american seasonal too, since it's mostly koreans, but don't have to. You can't compare to SC2 2011, the scene was too inflated, but compared to BW it's really not that bad. And its the first year of WCS. You pretty much get 9 premier tournaments with almost only koreans.
I already told you I don't care for the seasonal finals, they're just another weekend event. You can't build storylines in 2-3 days. All the seasonal finals accomplish is making the GSL seem less important by offering more money in a shorter period of time.
Really, I would give up most everything else in SC2 if we could just get a frequent GSL schedule with all the best players in the world back again. It doesn't have to be 9 events, 5 or 6 spread out nicely would do fine. Nothing in SC2 is/was more exciting than the old GSL's, It's really sad.

I just hate that it took away from Korea though. GSL had all the best players in the same place all year. Then our GSL heroes left. MVP, Nestea (maybe too late for him), and MC all gone.

doesn't look like storms does anything... Most of the storms in the initial push were effectively wasted, not that they do much to roaches anyway. The viper timing's smart, since it basically means you can't go colossi(which would probably be the best way to deal with huge roach balls that early) and really can't defend if you aren't constantly watching your sentries.
Watching those sentries walk through a blinding cloud to die in the front-line was painful.

Does MKP have a plan?. Would be nice to have Maru in EU. Hate to see MC getting easy money there ( like he always does ) MC didn't earn almost $400k easily. He's one of the rare players to be relevant for like 3 years. Actually MC won tournaments with heavily inflated price pools, so in that way it was a bit easier for him to earn so much. :p Just the open season really, I don't consider any of his other 1st place finishes to be inflated. Maybe some people would consider the 35k for the IEM WC to be inflated but keep in mind Mvp won 50k for Blizzcon, a tournament with only 2 Koreans in it. parting's BWC/WCG was probably the most inflated run, he beat one korean to get it haha He might've only beat one Korean in BWC but he beat quite a few good ones to win the entire series + Show Spoiler [Full list] +He went through sC, Alive, Curious three times, Seed, Macsed, RorO, two different Hero's, Socke, Illusion, Scarlett, Suppy, Sen and finally Creator He got paid for that already though  Innovation (should he win WCS Global Finals) will have beaten a shit tonne more people for the same cash prize It just means the easy money is no longer a thing in sc2, those days are over. You can be as good as innovation and only win 80k in a year(this is how much he's made so far). Mvp won $250,000 in 2011. Yeah I was just looking at that then.. Soulkey isnt even in the top 50 earners in SC2 despite how good he has been for almost 12 months. Is that actually true? god that's terrible. 20k for first place in GSL nowadays is so little compared to 9 gsl's in 2011 + blizzard cup allowing mvp to win 3 gsl's, take 2nd in another and collect many other smaller prizes throughout the year. Not to mention the foreign tournaments like blizzcon/MLG/WCG.
(I know my reply a bit late haha)
But yeah man, he's 60th.. which is below TOP ffs... as well as Kas, Sjow, Xigua, Vortix, Socke, Hasuobs.
Yeah a GSL every 6-8 weeks was pretty insane hahaha.. but it gave them not much reason to need to travel either (but they still did, and did well hahaha)

Their results had slipped so far by that point that, were EU and NA not options, they probably just would've retired.
