EPTI don't think his style is fun or exciting to watch and I don't feel like I learn anything from him when I watch him. His builds feel like a good builds for him rather than good builds period, and until I become him, I can't really use them effectively so I just don't learn anything. (until I get another 100 apm and more multitasking)

He has a unique style that nobody else plays, he's hyper aggressive, and he's been pretty successful. You'd think that would make him into a fan favourite, but yet everyone shits on his play. He lost to MVP and everyone was ridiculously happy to see him go down, but beating tons of great players only to lose to the best in the world in no way makes MKP bad. I don't think people understand MKP's record. His only GSL Bo3/5/7 losses are to: MVP MC Nestea Who are probably the best players in the world of their respective races. MKP is a fucking beast and TL hates him because Idra and Incontrol senselessly hate him on State of the Game. I won't try to deny that MKP is good, but it's a bit annoying how conveniently cherrypicked your record of MKP is. He lost to Alive in the GSTL and to sC and IncA in Ro32 this season. | ||

They'll all tell you the same thing, a series carries much more weight comparing skill between two players. | ||

I enjoy the style of the tournament with a few matches each night for a month, so I will probably continue buying a ticket (especially with the $10 price). The difference is that Tiger Woods was the best in the world for years, sitting at the top of the world rankings and winning tons of major tournaments against the next best in the world. None of the foreigners are anywhere near that level of prestige. | ||

(until I get another 100 apm and more multitasking) That's actually the thrill I get when I watch a player like MKP. For me at least I find it boring when a player does a build that even a common player like me can do effectively (cool you can 4 gate? so can i). Nothing excites me more than watching him do a 6 way marine split within seconds to dodge speed banelings. Yea common people like us can't do it, but that's what makes it special. It's kinda like watching jaedong's muta micro. Can we do it? Hell no. But it sure is hell entertaining to watch him do it. | ||

I will only watch select nasl games as I already spend hours watching gsl, so don't have time to watch nasl as well. Some people like the MLS, while others prefer to watch the european soccer leagues. To each their own, but I will be sticking with the best. This. | ||

my problem with GSL has always been how there manages to be this one guy who sucks but gets super deep in the tournament, and that's just not happening anymore. the guys who suck suck less, and they get crushed like they should be. this is the season i bought my first ticket because i finally felt like it was a tournament that i could enjoy the whole way through, whereas i only enjoyed the end of the tournament in previous seasons. i am personally not that excited for NASL, i mean i'm hyped for it but i'm always skeptical of promises and hype machines until things actually fall into place. i am SUPER hyped for TSL, mainly because it reminds me of a SC2 WCG except with non-koreans having more of a chance, and i love MLG and have been a fan of it since before i got into RTS. everything is of lower interest to me than GSL though, i would only pay to watch GSL at this point. | ||

The only thing that the NASL trumps GSL with is its prize pool. That said i will still watch both but i don't think that NASL makes me less interested | ||

That said i will still watch both but i don't think that NASL makes me less interested Incontrol is a funny guy on a podcast, but he's really no match for Artosis as a caster. I'll still watch NASL games with names I care about, same with TSL3/MLG, but I'm not going to stop watching GSL. | ||

More alternatives on the scene - NASL, MLG etc doesn't mean interests have to be lowered, just split between more options.. GSL was the first epic tournament in terms of players and prizes so it will always remain my top priority  | ||

Opening these threads are stupid. While you're at it, why don't you put a poll on whether or not the new season of Jersey Shore is making you lose interest in GSL, since its airing soon and all. Here: I did one for you. Poll: Does the new show Being Human draw you away from GSL? No, I'll still watch GSL b/c obviously having new shows doesn't mean I can't watch other shows. (4) Yes, I'm mentally incapable to process two different shows, even if aired separately. (2) 6 total votes Your vote: Does the new show Being Human draw you away from GSL? (Vote): No, I'll still watch GSL b/c obviously having new shows doesn't mean I can't watch other shows. | ||

I'm probably just not communicating well. The only point I was trying to make was that while on this forum it might seem that Asian foreigners are ignored, to a lot of Chinese fans Loner feels like a 'foreign' player. So it's a bit narrow to say that Loner gets missed as a foreigner because he gets missed here -- not that we should be proud of that fact to the extent that it's true. | ||
