GSTL, the most epic 3 days of SC2 I could possibly imagine, cannot wait for the next team league that will hopefully be way bigger. I agree all the hype for NASL currently is "OMG ITS HAPPENING IN AMERICA." While GSL hype is like "we already have it happening and we have the best players in the world." So at the end of this obvious 'hype contest' I will have to declare GSL the winner. I want fruitdealer to make a comeback so bad =( | ||

Like for instance you couldn't really watch the ZOTAC stuff outside of Korea. Kinda disappointing. GSL is so huge though that I think it's all-encompassing, and good enough to do that. I like it much much better than MLG, Dreamhack, and such; if NASL can step it up enough to knock GSL off of its pedestal, that'll be insane. Not necessarily because I care whether the best scene is in Korea or USA or Germany or anywhere else, but just because the idea of a league that is even better than GSL gives me those creepy nerd chills. I'd say that this announcement bringing Idra home(or contributing to it) is a really big deal for western esports. Idra living with Machine is going to give both of them such a big edge over the competition that I think everyone else will have to start contemplating partnerships and team houses of that kind just to keep up. If/when NASL gets to the point that GSL is at, then my god, and yeah, I'm sure that there's loads of other Korean tournaments going on that we don't know about, but yeah, I'm just putting up what we got/what we know (the western tournaments) there's alot ALOT more to be hyped for. | ||

Also, god damn, them GSTL games man, those games were fucking brilliant. | ||

The "good" players are in Korea because the prize pool over there is much more attractive...Wait till after the announcement is made...I can bet you that if it's what we think it is and the prize pool rivals GSL's, then the standard of play is going to improve drastically here in NA...I can bet you that Clans such as ROOT are already practicing like nuts right now in preparation for this and so is Idra and team EG. Korean players don't have any inherently "magical" skills that make them better at Starcraft than the rest of the world...They simply play it more because their culture has accepted e-sports and has made them practicing hours on end for it worth their while. Suffice to say that this is the year the world will be taken by storm and at the helm of this e-sport revolution: EG.Incontrol a.k.a Captain America!!!! | ||
