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. The best players winning is never a bad thing from a competitive point of view. I wonder what will happen in Koreans dominate MLG/TSL/NASL. Will they get banned? | ||

NASL will be at a silly time, though of course I'm still interested in it. Edit: I agree in general it's more interesting watching games on maps I ladder on, because I will follow them better; this despite the fact that larger maps were sorely needed. Edit: Singaporean caster (not Korean chick). | ||

It hasn't been decided yet. The top 2 players in Code A get to choose their bracket, then everyone else gets a random bracket. | ||

Even if the foreigners aren't as good as the Koreans, they will stop watching when they get knocked out. It makes no sense to me whatsoever... if the best players in the world are playing in the GSL, then I'll continue to watch. It's the whiteness factor. Many white people want to watch white people win. People rarely admit it, but it's the truth. A lot of the Europeans have mangled English and boring interviews as well, but their whiteness makes them more interesting to many people than a superior Korean player. | ||

Bam right there on the front page. | ||

So they kinda view it as a white vs Asian thing? That's weird. | ||

If I could stay up, I would still watch Code S, not so much Code A though. | ||

I can't realistically expect GSL to broadcast in NA time, that would be unrealistic, but it's the cold hard facts that better stream quality in theory, better time zones and names I may recognize a bit more (I only know about 1/3 of the GSL field) just leads to more NASL and MLG interest for me. | ||

Besides, Idra talks a ton of shit and people eat it up but he's often wrong. Remember when he called Nestea talentless? Yet Nestea turned out to be the best Zerg player, and probably still is, in the world. | ||
