I don't really like the remaining players too much and it's again very annoying to just have one Zerg in the Top8 (and the fact that you almost never see July play a long macro-game -.-°).

Besides, many other Tournaments use new Maps now as well, which was my main reason besides Artosis to watch GSL.

I still watch it if I can though, I just wish there were more Zergs and really good players like Nestea, MVP and Jinro in the Top-4.

Yeah, but it's mostly because of the lack of foreigners. MC is a boss though, will keep watching this season because of him.

I liked the previous seasons a tinsy-winsy bit more only because it was a clear 64-player knockout tournament, now I'm just not sure if I get the whole Code A / Code S / Up'n'down matches and group stages. However the skill is still amazing and I'm watching it mainly for the Taste-osis Casting Archon.

Still this season's final is finally going to be something new

those sanZenith vs sCfOu were the best SC2 games I have seen to date. Games you would only find in the GSL.

My interest in the GSL depends largely on the games. If there is a streak with "boring games" I will lose interest, but the new GSL maps have done a lot to increase interest in the game this season. Obviously the effect of patches and such might change it as well and if the BC speed increase makes them finally worthwile for the Progamers to use the matches might become even more interesting. There are still a lot of underused units though to provide maximum variety in the used tactics.

Current interest: 7(10) ... +1 for GSL maps, -1 for "boring" maps like Metalopolis

Its still my number 1 SC2 tournament.

MLG burned me many times with 2 hour delays, constant commercials, odd production values. 40 min of waiting between games etc. This argument can be thrown at IEM, Assembly, Dreamhack and every other live tournament out there that isent GSL

TSL wont have those problems but we will still be watching replays, which while still fantastic especially with the players they got is not as exciting as watching it live

NASL i have no opinions on yet, but i assume it will be similar to TSL, being that the only downside to these 2 are that they arent actually live games.


Then you also have the best players in SC2 right now in GSL, aswell as the best casters (Tastosis) and a tournament that is well run, with almost no delays or any major problems. When i see that GSL is starting in 1h and 1m i know its starting in 1h and 1m. When i see that MLG is starting in 1h and 1m, i know its starting around 4+hours and ?? minutes.

Note: I am not trying to troll any organisation here, these have been my experiences with them throughout the years even before SC2 came out.

Yea, if anything I think my interest in GSL is growing. I havent had a premium ticket but I may have to get one for the next season. With each season weve seen considerably less all-ins and now we're beginning to see many long and intense macro games. It's no doubt that the quality of games and players has risen with each season. I'm also exciting to see more team leagues. Foreign tournies are still going to hold my interest but they cannot replace the quality of the GSL players and the games they provide.

It's tough to say. I recently got really into GSL as a result of the January/Team leagues. I think my Code A interest is decreasing while my interest in Code S is increasing. As written was written above, I think the player quality has gone up substantially each season. I'll definitely keep watching the GSL with just as much, if not more frequency.

This Season started pretty awesome, but after nearly all big-names are out, i'm a bit sad. Also as a Terran, the PvP and PvZ Matchups aren't as interesting as a TvZ or TvP.
But this season is actually better just because of the new maps. Last Season i saw bunker-rush after bunker-rush, after bunker-rush. :O

I'm still loving the GSL (Code S) for two reasons: it is definitely the highest caliber of play... and because of Tastetosis, the casting archon! Those guys could be commentating paint dry, and I'd probably still watch it

People here still think EU/NA play is as strong as Korea? Umm hate to break it to you but Korea has always been ahead/will forever be ahead until the rest of the world starts training as intensely as the Koreans do. Top foreigners are no where near top koreans (with a few exceptions). Not sure why people are so naive.

My interest is high and pretty constant.

But I want more foreigners, less Terran and new maps.

I watch starcraft 2 because it is highly interesting as a COMPETITIVE game. And if someone starts a incredibly huge tournament with the intention of trying to keep the Korean participants artificially low, then the tournament loses its legatimacy and I lose the interest.

If that will be the case with the NASL remains to be seen, but I'm rooting for it not to be the case. This is merely a reply to xeris's interview saying people would rather enjoy seeing foreigners play than koreans.

yes its still my top priority, but im losing interest in it anyways. or lets rather say my interest is decreasing.

having + Show Spoiler +
sanzenith and anypro.prime
in the ro4 doesnt help either. having no players with notable name in the later stages of code A also didnt quite help...

btw im already predicting that this season once again the code A finals will be much much better than the code S finals.

Nope. San vs SC was the best series I have seen in sc2. I hope more foreigners go over to compete with the best.

This basically sums it up for me as well. If there isn't a big name in code A that I already know/am a fan of, I won't watch. Call it what you will, but I want AT LEAST Artosis or Tasteless casting Code A. I realize they need time off and generally I have no major issues with Kelly or Doa but it's just...not good enough.

Code S is always awesome!

well, I only watch code A when foreigners are playing.. or next code A since some big code S names might be down there.
Code S is still good. hopefully Jinro will get ro4 or more again next season

I'm a BW follower as well. I don't care about the foreigner scene at all. I follow the best players in the world so I only care about the GSL.
