Maybe people are right here, we don't have enough data and play time since SC2 came out, games could be shorter in the future  | ||

While I do think the maps are kinda bad(but not terrible as many people seem to think) we should all remembers that programers are human too, and thus they take time to learn a game. | ||

Disagree. 1-basing and all-ins are strong not because people don't "know" about macro games, but because it takes people time to learn to beat all the various 1-basing styles. You only get past that once players can comfortably beat those, at least the majority of the time. Otherwise people will use rushes and win with them, whether or not players know about macro. | ||

Team Areola Nipple League of 2005, WCG 2006 and TSL#2 2010 for Broodwar and Blizzcon2010 and the Kaspersky Invitational for Starcraft 2 Not really representative, why not use GSL and Starleagues? By the way Team Areola Nipple League wtf? | ||

Disagree, in 2004, timings were still not known, but macro was. BTW there are a number of early very long 1-basing TvZ. For instance I have a 2001 Boxer vs Yellow game, were Boxer expands only when he runs out of minerals, 30min. Wich shows : 2 games have a different dynamics, and in 2001 people just did not seem to want to expand (in TvZ at least). But hey, don't worry, your game is perfect, it will come with time. | ||

It seems like the early game is accelerated in SC2 which is a good thing, so even if the games are shorter they might be in similiar lenghts as far as entertainment goes? Anyways, this is always just a feeling I have, I could be 100% wrong. | ||

Could you give us the average duration for GSL4 games without Jinro's and Idra's matches? | ||

I do welcome with open arms sampling using more recent tournies both from bw and sc2. Now that would be discussion worthy. | ||
