This I don't get at all. Why would viewers not just want to see the highest level of play? For the same reason the majority of people still prefer to watch their local football club play over watching the Champion's League, despite the superior quality of play in the latter.For a scene/game to stay alive the average viewer needs local heroes to root for, and needs a lure for players to attempt making it to the level where it becomes financially interesting. I think the impact of that shouldn't be underestimated. As such it made sense for Blizzard to regionlock WCS, they need the local scene to stay alive rather than dominated by second-tier Koreans to keep selling their game & brand. They're still a business, not a charity. lol who cares about some local football game besides the players' family members? This just is not an accurate analogy. Supporting your local team does not equal not preferring higher level play. I think fans of football would go to the higher quality games if they could get tickets/travel to them. Supporting your local team provides a cheaper football experience and offers the community of being a fan of the club, a very different thing to preferring the highest level of play. This is only increased as the level of play declines pretty much. edit* this was aimed at Elisse primarily
I got that, and I feel it still holds true imho. Steering it back from football to SC; for the average casual viewer an inferior 'local' player (from your country, region, ...) will be more appealing to get behind than a superior second tier Korean.

So what if the game was played pre-patch, Impact has prepared only SW strats and then gumiho goes bio?

Chances are he doesn't go bio prepatch.
And when did I say he only prepped SH strats? He spent a lot of time doing that and this fuckup from GSL screwed with his prep big time but that's not all he prepared. Problem is if most of your builds now don't work, you are left at a fundamental disadvantage, whereas whatever builds Gumiho had prepared still work just fine (with the exception of any raven heavy super late game turtle-mech).

That's kinda silly. Gumiho would also prepare for the series and the possible maps that come, you think he throws that out the window on short notice because of a patch that doesn't change the way mech plays except for raven heavy comps? If anything the patch should have made him go mech even more if he changed strats.
Doesn't change the fact that GSL fucked it up tho.

You say Gumiho switched from his prepared mech to bio because of the patch but didn't need to change up his buildorders because terran is not affected by the patch?

It's Gumi. Pretty fair chance he's right

I completely understand TBs frustration, but it's kind of silly to pretend like Impact wasn't gonna get 3-0'd or 3-1'd at best this series. Gumiho is just a much better player. That being said, it's complete bullshit that they make players play on the new patch and I would love to hear some justificationf or that

It's more likely that it's a combination of maps + mindgame though. Maps because Iron Fortress horizontal doesn't look like it's brilliant for mech and the last time I saw Gumi mech on Overgrowth he got royally stomped because he was too greedy. Mindgames because obviously everyone expects him to go mech all the time.
And it was pretty obvious Impact was well prepared because even the first thing he did on Deadwing was scout for a proxy.

I mean, I know there's a lot of varience in starcraft, i sure didn't expect innovation to lose today, but within reason you often can when one player is a massive favorite

Gumiho being the favourite in that match is questionable. Every series Impact has played in the last 6 months against Gumiho has been close. 2-3 in Leifeng Cup 72, 2-0 in Impacts favour in Januaries Olimoleague finals, 2-3 again in Leifeng Cup 48, 1-2 in Olimoleague November. If you want to talk predictions, you should look at the statistical facts. Gumiho and Impact are neck and neck over the last 6 months with Gumiho holding a slight advantage. There is nothing in those stats that says "Gumiho is going to win 3-0!" not at all. TvZ is his weakest matchup right now, so no, I dont think you can come in here and safely say "Gumiho was going to win anyway" because the stats say otherwise.
