On topic : GSTL > GSL (in my opinion) because many of the best players play up against the wall. A team will pick a player who may not be so good GSL-wise, but one who is trained to "snipe" a particular player or race. The "superior" player in this case must play a semi-uphill battle against an opponent who might be using an unorthodox strategy against the observed standard play of the widely televised superior player. Sorry if this doesn't make perfect sense in terms of syntax or flow, but it's really late at night/really early in the morning and I'm tired. EDIT : Typo. | ||

Not only that, but you don't see so many 1-base or 2-base timing attacks that people abuse to win. It's quite understandable why they do it in the GSL. There is $80k on the line, so it's a win any way you can type of scenario. With GSTL, it's more about fun and entertaining your team while they watch. | ||

Just because I have not been active on this forum does not mean I have not been following the scene for years. I feel sorry for some of you who only have the entertainment part of SC/2 in mind. Mostly the ones who tune into streams to only have a LT or live chat on the side and chatting about the game rather than watching and understanding what is happening in the game. And unfortunately thats the majority of the people that are watching the streams. Think about the "top of the food-chain" players for once. Would an Idra or Morrow allow someone else to take the steering wheel on their careers? You will never hear a competitive "top of the foodchain" player say they are truly excited to play in a teamleague format (unless coupled with some serious $). Will they agree to play? YES (because of sponsors). Will they like the teamgames? dragged out yeeeeees/suuuure + /looking away. I don't even need to quote IdrAs last interview and the guy has at least 3 times bigger fanbase than any other player on TL.net. He sums it up pretty nice: "Cut the bs I am not here to entertain people". And if you don't like the answer then its BM and drama gone too far, lol. Also the moment GOM decides to mainly focus on GSTL instead of GSL that will be the end of foreign action in Korea. Think about all the foreigners who have an ambition to play in Korea and the ones already playing in Korea. Players dont have to choose between the two you know. The individual and team leagues dont happen at the same time. Team leagues are a bigger prize pool and the better players could just always win and if they dont then they dont deserve the win anymore than anyone else on the team.

Its something else entirely.. Not sure what your trying to get at. | ||
