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.
You don't get hyped up by that?
OMG I friggin love when they pick the player and they get up and walk into the booth with that awesome song playing (which by the way I'd appreciate anyone who knows the name of that song that played each time a new player was chosen to let me know what it is xD).
I get so hyped I feel like a monkey is randomly going to jump into my window and steal my eyes right out of their sockets and leave.
Especially when they pick Nerd Killers like MMA and such who just look at the screen like an assassin looking at his next victim.

Its more like, A new player stands up.....cut to commercial. 10 minutes later the game starts, which is kind of annoying I suppose.

in sc2 im still in the phase where just a good game is enough to keep me happy where as in bw that isnt enough, i want my favorite team or players to play to keep me interested.
and for that pl is better than the individual leagues, imo, more games and more excitement.
so i hope that sc2 moves towards a pl, that would be awesome and i am very happy that gom has taken the first steps towards it. last gstl was awesome!

Well, the abnormally long wait time may just be a phenomenon confined to SlayerS.
According to the GSTL2 winner's interview:
Compared to the other teams, SlayerS’ players took an abnormal amount of set up time.
Cella: We wanted to allow the players to perform in the most perfect conditions and to allow them to play to their fullest.
Boxer: I apologize if the other teams thought it was disrespectful and in the next league we’ll make sure to compensate. I think it was result of poor communication.
On the other hand, I don't think the wait times will have an issue on the VODs, which probably edited them out.

Vods(atleast the Korean, so I suppose the english neither) don't contain the wait times, I can confirm.
PS: game 1 with Alicia was so good after watching it again.

They edited out the wait times in the English VOD as well as the whole Ganzi DC. I was damm confused when I first came to the live report thread afterwards.

GSTL is way more dramatic and shows more personality to players IMO

Awww, really?
I missed the entire Finals due to sleep, and sometimes, I want an unedited version of the VOD so that I can experience the full drama of these DC events and perhaps listen to some more of Tasteless's "vehicle of e-sports" speech.
Oh well. At least the games were awesome :D

I like both but i think last GSTL season was better than last GSL season. Both are nice imo  !

If people wanted teamgames there would be pro 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 tournaments. Do you currently see any? Face it the top players in each team will mostly dislike the idea where mediocre players would love the idea to have an opportunity to win titles with their team based game.
In the end you will get shoved single player or team games by the biggest organization. And either you love it or hate it, you will have to accept it. Imo Sc/2 is a single player competitive game.
Will probably get a lot flames for saying this...
User was warned for this post
Just gonna quote this guy cuz everyone else did. Anyway I like the GSTL way better because you get to see a lot of talent from players who haven't been able to really make a splash in the GSL, i.e. SlayerS_MMA

Both GSTL seasons have been awesome.
Way more fun than the individual GSL.
|
MVP vs MMA was the most tense SC I've ever seen. For the first time ever E-Sports kinda felt like real sports to me.

I hate the all-kill format. It's very exciting, but I don't want to get burned out on it. To be honest, I like the Proleauge format, where it normally has the standard preset 1v1s with ace match (though all the changes have pretty much fucked that), then the round in the middle with the independent Winner's League.
Back on topic, GSTL was definitely more fun to watch than the GSL. I hope they can set up something, once there are enough strong teams out there, to have something as large in scope as the Proleague. It would definitely be fun.
Also, moving into a studio like the OGN one, which is more geared for having actual in-studio viewers, would be awesome as well.
|
If GSTL started doing 2v2s, like Proleague used to, I would definitely purchase the GOM season tickets.
|
down for some 2v2 action 
|
I wish GSTL lasted longer than a single week... it's really an awesome show! For example, each matchup between 2 players could be a Bo3 instead of BO1.

what is that song that was that they played after slayers won
