- Seeing really good young players - More drama seeing teams vs each other - Teamwork - Code S is still full of scrubs | ||

Other than the above point, I feel that GSTL is more of a "story" than individual GSL, and it's nice to see the Koreans express some emotion xD EDIT - I'd LOVE to see the next GosuCoaching team league have the same layout as the GSTL! would be amazing! | ||

GSL 5 have been a mess as well; the format has been really confusing, and it's basically just a qualifier, so a lot of the excitement is lost. | ||

But 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 are meant by blizz to be teamgames. What does MC for example gain from (gstl) teamgames? User was temp banned for this post. If you're gonna post stuff in GSTL threads with out knowing to a detail what GSTL is, then don't post here! Since I started to watch SC with team leagues in BW (of course just for fun with my uncle) I really like bringing back those memories!!! GSTL is better than GSL for spectator view, but I think for tense and epic games GSL is better. The point is that both leagues are awesome!!! | ||

Whilst I feel GSL has more "refined" play, since people prepare for their opponents heavily, GSTL brings the drama and the on-the-spot creativeness that is so entertaining. Of course the teams go in with an initial game plan of who then want to play who, however there are always the weird situations like today when we saw MVP have to pretty much bag 3wins to take it for IM.

It is probably too much of a hassle to get an entire lineup available at one time for this style of league. Remember that the GCPL players live on different continents. That is why games are arranged individually so players can arrange them at their discretion and just hand the replays off to the admins. | ||

Gah that's a great point. I think I was swept away by the sheer awesome-ness of how cool that would be, that I completely overlooked the logistical side of it  | ||

In GSTL you can have someone who is AMAZING against one particular race, and practices to be really good at that. This means you can send that person out as a counter to a top tier player. This provides high quality games because if someone is a dominant force (say, IM_Mvp) you can send out your best vs. T player to try and counter them. This is why SlayerS have been so successful, they've gathered a team with high individual skill as well as AMAZING match-up specialization (they have godly Terran slayers). While other teams have focused on individual skill across all match-ups, hence less success. This results in more upsets as well as more 'unknown' players being featured and having amazing games. Personally I prefer that over seeing the same 2-3 people owning it up in the GSL. | ||

I voted GSTL, but after watching GSTL last night I have to point out the one MASSIVE disadvantage of team league is the huge 10-20 minute wait between games. Obviously a lot of last night was caused by Bnet, but even without that, the fact that getting a new player in before each game to set up all their gear is actually really annoying, especially when the games themselves are often 5 minutes long. Individual league has the big advantage in that you know who's playing the next match so they can set up in the other booths while the first game is being played. | ||

But anyway, I digress. Yes, I think GSTL is more exciting than regular GSL. | ||

Coaches sending out players to snipe specific players results in a lot of very entertaining games. Also, there are not as many mirrors or at least it feals this way. GSL brings so many TvTs. GSTL had some in the Ro8 but only a few (very entertaining) in the later rounds. So yes, GSTL is great and I will not think about paying/not paying for it the next time. Its an insta-buy..  | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Losira and Alicia already in Code S and Ace winning IEM. SlayerS win in the second GSTL I think shows they have a couple of up and coming players who might do really well in GSL in the future. I did not think the GSTL would be as exciting as it has been, so I will definitively buy season pass for GSTL in the future and watch it more regularly. | ||
