It's just that a lot of the play in the GSL hasn't been solid -- it's been agressive to a fault. The people who complain about Korean play probably prefer when players err on the side of greedy. | ||

The recent IEM results certainly are convincing, but they're not remarkable as the Korean structure of e-sports simply builds the best players. The money is there, the housing is there, all they have to focus on in life is being the best. Yes HuK made it further than Ace but if HuK vs. Ace, Ace would probably win. Your statement about HuK getting further meaning he's better than Ace is invalid. Ace actually qualified for GSL while HuK never did. But I do like HuK one of my favorite foreigners, and I hope he stays awhile. You might say Ace qualified in the easier GSL (GSL 2). WRONG he also qualified for this season too! After getting knocked out last season by TOP, which this is the far most hardest GSL to qualify in. | ||

however, i'm a pretty diehard sc2 watcher, so whenever there is a chance for good games i'm going to watch. whether that's GSL, NASL, IEM, GCPL, even a craftcup final if somebody i enjoy watching is playing that's all that matters really. GSL just has constant quality content so that gets the most of my time. | ||

Rooting for MC and Huk <33333 Sorry to break it to you but Huk lost a few days ago. I like Huk too, but he played pretty poorly when he lost. Particularly the + Show Spoiler + shitty cannon all-in where he spent 550 minerals on nothing. | ||

Getting up at 4AM to watch live finally caught up to me this season. All the upsets should have made for a more interesting season, but instead it zapped my interest level. Also, with no Idra and Jinro falling early and Huk being Huk, I just don't have a "local" guy to root for. Really looking forward to MLG Dallas and the start of NASL. Not that interested in the upcoming GSL "World Championship". Hopefully GSL May will peak my interest. | ||

Code S has been brilliant and unpredictable this season, with some Zerg play that has really challenged the orthodoxy, and been really engaging If you didn't enjoy July v Nada, there's no hope for you. The new maps have changed things for the better in a big way as well, and I think that has really shaken things up at the top. While the idea of the game progressing in the west is attractive to me, I still want to watch the highest level of play, and I think it would be a massive result if the other competitions almost functioned as feeder leagues in the same way that the lesser football leagues do for the premiership, la liga etc. I really believe the GSL will continue to develop, there's nothing like it in terms of production and quality, and there's no reason to think that will change in the near future. The game is still quite young, and no one has really emerged as a super dominant force as of yet, because the meta game is so fluid, and the map pool has changed so significantly. I think as certain players develop a history and defining play style, the human aspects of the game can become more relevant as they were with Brood War spectating. The GSL season ticket is a fantastic value, as far as I'm concerned. | ||

However, that might change once TSL starts, depending on how well the foreigners do against the koreans. If it becomes BW WCG, then it reduces to another chance to watch the top korean pros play, which is never bad but at the same time not as interesting from a competitive point of view. | ||

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to stay up all night to watch all of Code S (or even code A for that matter) whenever its live, and for me personally, watching VODs just isn't the same as watching it love  | ||
