I'm definitely less interested in this season's GSL though, but that's because most of what I think are the best players right now have already been eliminated. | ||

To have good games, you don't have to have to watch Best Protoss play against Best Terran. People of similar skill will bring exciting games, whether semi-professional or professional players. As long as both players play at their best and are around equally skillful, games will be amazing. I don't think gap between Korea and foreign scene is big and NASL will be my top priority when it will come out. Then it will be GSL. | ||

If that was true, why did mediocre GSL Code A drop out Ace 10-0 his way through the top foreigners at IEM? Why did top foreigners like Huk and Ret bomb out at GSL Code A despite impressive performances in foreigner tournaments? | ||

You're confusing the level of play in a game with how exciting the game is to watch. Of course having the best players in the world play doesn't always mean the games are extremely tense and exciting (just watch some of the Flash vs Jaedong games -_-;; ) and semi pros can still produce cool games, but to me the level of play displayed in a game is more important than how close and exciting it is. I'll take watching MVP roflstomp Hyperdub over a tense series between lalush and lzgamer any day. | ||

Playing: I never liked PLAYING ladder. Now that SC2 is not even installed on my PC anymore (bz with life), I'm losing interest even more. I made a thread about this before. Many people here actually don't play ladder either. Freshness: GSL 1 & 2 were VERY exciting. It's awesome to follow all pros with each distinct styles. As a casual SC2 lover, it got old suddenly. Look at HD & Husky views, they're dropping significantly compared to last summer/fall. The game itself is losing popularity I think. In Korea, pro scene on national level works and SC can live on. In US, there are SO many games to keep everyone's attention, esp Modern Warfare, Halo stuff. I realized SC2 is just another game to the mainstream gamers. Too much stuff going on: 'GSL' last year was easy to follow- just simple brackets. Now there are GSL, Code S, Code A, and 2398473 different tournaments that also decide GSL. Since I lost interest, it's hard to bother to follow fully. Lack of foreigners: Last year was best with colorful players like idrA, TLO, Jinro, that Chinese kid, etc. Now they all left because, let's be honest, they can't handle the Koreans. I know Jinro, Huk, and few are still here, but meh... Time: I made the commitment to wake up at 5-6am to watch. With my waning interest, it's hard to wake up for it. And because I don't watch it, I lose further interest. Spending $$ on ticket is now out of the question. Anyone else like me? | ||

The casual gamers probably won't notice the difference too much, but as a ~~3500 masters I see a huge difference watching Incontrol's stream versus Huk's stream. The difference in skill levels of both the streamers and their opponents (korean server versus Na server) is huge. Another thing is that most NA gamers are now doing coaching for a lot of money and I doubt the time spent on coaching while beneficial for the community (debatable) is increasing their own skill level. So when I watch NA/EURO leagues vs the GSL, GSL just seems so smooth while the NA/EURO players make many mistakes. | ||

I think I'll really enjoy the MLG stuff again because I love the casters there as well. | ||
