Also BorG there is no reason for you to stop watching gsl over foreigner events, however i did find it disappointing that you didn't go into the TSL3 very deeply, seeing as it has games (imo) that are just as good as the GSL if not better. But really haven't you guys always been about doing what you want to do? i mean you didn't stop free flaming torch because people complained, so do what you want to do.

Well, I didn't have time to watch the tsl3 other than the games that we covered

Too much work/gsl/gstl/ and then my own practice. Not to mention giving my girlfriend attention. So, that's why I want to split it, so I CAN go more in-depth with tsl3, nasl, mlg.

If watching some of these foreigners play lately is a sign of things to come, I think I'll have no complaints about watching primarily foreigner games

Yeah, but since the Starcraft content of our show is mainly based on tournament / pro scene coverage as opposed to like patch notes and stuff we want to make sure we cover all the major tournaments get covered so people like you who enjoy the foreign scene can get the same level of coverage that GSL gets from us.

There seems to be some kind of skewed perception about our show that we hate foreign players and foreign tournaments and that's really not the case. When Tester was slumping I was as critical of him as I am of TLO or Haypro. I enjoy high level of Starcraft and that's it; right now that is happening in Korea and at the GSL. For us it really is a matter of not having enough time to watch everything because as Borg said (I think) there is just a shitload of really good Starcraft content out there right now. One of us has a full time job and has bills and groceries to pay for and the other is a full time student with a part time job with student loans and books to pay for. I also am half decent at the game and enjoy playing it as much as I enjoy watching it and talking about it and the same goes for Borg.

It's awesome that our show's structure is really loose and we have a handful of people who listen on a consistent basis but that doesn't mean we don't want to improve the show. We can still do a better job covering more events but still have the show stay the way it is. I don't think I would want to do the podcast anymore if we felt we weren't allowed to go off random tangents and talk about what's going on in our lives or talk about shit that happened in our past cause then it wouldn't be what we based the show around; being ourselves. Our show is literally what happens when me and Borg get food at 1am at some shitty diner and stay there until like 4 AM.

All we want to do is dedicate more time to all the big events that are happening outside of Korea that way we can break it down the way we do GSL. I know people have been critical of us in the past saying we don't provide enough information or analysis of games but one thing I take pride in about our show is I think we do a really really good job of picking GSL games apart and we want to do that for TSL, NASL and whatever else happens outside of Korea. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before time is an issue and there isn't enough of it to cover everything the way we want to; so that's where the thought of Borg not watching as much GSL so he can dedicate time to TSL and NASL. If people want us to just focus on GSL the way we do and everything else can be footnotes the way it is now then that's fine too. Me personally, I love GSL, I love Tastosis, and I love that it has the feel of the Brood War Starleagues that got me into professional Starcraft in the first place so me being the selfish person I am I'm not willing to give up my GSL time lol.

Sorry for this being lengthy but I just figured I would give a better explanation as to why Borg is thinking about doing this. We're not giving in to criticism or anything we just want to broaden our content and coverage of events that are just as important as GSL I don't know if our GSL coverage will suffer because only one person has watched everything but I don't think he is planning on completely ignoring it. I watched Geniux/qxc and Nestea/Goody live the other day and I watched the vods of Cruncher/Idra, and I am sure Borg will stop watch a similar amount of GSL so I think we will be okay.

Props to Ben from korea and the others, I really enjoyed that email on the past and present of starcraft and starcraft 2.

Lol at episode 22, till the ben email there was very little hating haha.

By the by, I watched haypro's stream, and I like his tactics! He uses high tier zerg units and he macros well.

As for borgs dilemma, cover the best game play, in 2 months, the nasl will either fizzle out like it seems it will based on the quality of planning and production, OR they'll pull up their socks and it'll become one of the best tournaments to cover, possibly even as good as gsl!

Also, marty+ Show Spoiler +

I played this sad game! Soo awesome
