Also idk why some many people are against Code A. It was a lot more painful to watch last season. I would argue that much of the code A matches have been more entertaining that the Code S ones. Besides MC i feel most the players remaining in Code S got their by their opponent playing poorly more so than, themselves playing greatly. Code S has been quite underwhelming actually. | ||

I'd watch Code A too if Kelly wasn't screwing it up. Can't stand her nasal voice, but would welcome any other talented caster. | ||

The difference in skill level due to cultural beliefs resulting in Korean being ahead of NA/Europe shouldn't come as a surprise anymore. I have played/watched NA pros and I know I can catch up with them if I play more games but impossible to do the same versus the Koreans. | ||

Ask me again in a year, when NASL or MLG has had a fair shot at it, but as of right now I don't see anything from them that will make me watch less GSL. I'll catch the foreigners if GSL isn't on, it's clearly a big match or something comes highly recommended, but that's about it. | ||

Where can I find someone who dismisses something before it starts, without even knowing who is participating? Xeris just posted that there WILL be Koreans in the NASL. But they'll play terrible right? Because it's not the GSL? Because you don't have to pay for it? Because they don't have a similar prize pool (oh wait)? Because it will be top players from all over the world instead of just top Koreans? Maybe the Koreans are more skilled right now, but give pros stateside such a large monetary reason to be the best that they can physically be, and I bet they'll catch up immediately. Anyway, I agree with Grobyc. Where's the "Yes but I never bought any tickets in the first place." option? | ||

The reason for this is that the western pro scene feels more like 'home' in a sense, By now we all have our favourite streamer who we will be rooting for at MLG and it adds a bit more of a personal bit to it as opposed to the korean pro scene. In my opinion GSL is a bit more stiff and really has no room crazy stuff to happen (not that i've seen anyway) Bosu said something that hit the marker to; "I prefer watching players that interact more with the community."- I agree! | ||

My main thing is that my favorite players are sort of displacing themselves amongst the foreigner scene rather than trying so hard to get to GSL. I guess I am more loyal to the players than to the actual play itself, which is sort of weird to say. I get attached to players as well, which is why you will probably find rage posts from me when people like Mvp lose. I'm happy that the foreigner scene is expanding but for me, incredible play is a primary attraction, and watching games by Mvp, MC, etc. are what give me that exhilarating feeling. So yea, I actually follow the players more than the play itself so to speak, it's just that my favorite players are korean haha | ||

I'm attracted to players who prove themselves the most skilled, I don't care what colour skin they have or what language they speak. A lot of foreigners talk tough, let's see them prove themselves in TSL3 and any other major tournament where they have to face solid Koreans. | ||

i certainly wouldent mind seeing more foreigners, especially north american players doing well in tournaments but id rather watch the highest level of play. also while i dont mind watching games cast from replays seeing the players in the studio is pretty nice. also for me nasl will be watchable pretty easily without paying, 2 streams a day with better quality than goms paid stream sounds nice. | ||

Also Toastasis casts the GSL and I doubt there will be such a dynamic duo for a very long long time. I actually just love watching those guys so much, they could be reporting the weather and I'd still be doing barrel rolls about it. | ||
