I really liked watching last season's GSTL, haven't got around to buying my VOD ticket for this season's yet. However, I don't think I've found it more exciting than GSL, but probably on at least equal level. I'm a hugely competitive individual, and most of my favourite sports/games are as such. I identify with a 1v1, I enjoy watching the mental games that occur between two players over the course of five or seven games, and all other aspects of individual competition. That's why I enjoyed the S4 finals more than any finals before it, since MVP played the perfect mental/intimidation games against MKP, and we are all familiar with the results. Also, the players don't seem to take GSTL as seriously.... I guess I'll take this opportunity to say it, we need longer matches in both the team and individual leagues. In GSL, from the Ro8 on should be Bo7 format imo, with the finals being a Bo9. That way you can get different playstyles in there, and enjoy the players fighting it out mentally, trying to throw the other guy off his game. Not sure if the players seem to take GSTL lightly but if that is indeed true it might have to do with the much smaller prize pool. | ||

Not defending him, just trying to get people to read more carefully before jumping down someone's throat. But there ARE plenty of teamleagues outside the GSTL. SGL? GPL? People ARE interested in this kind of format. Shinobi just had no idea what he was talking about, and commuted Teamleague with 2v2/3v3/4v4 | ||

But I also believe , GSL format is better for players individual improvement and achieving perfection since you know your opponent and can train against that race/player specifically for weeks/days. This kinda grants faster improvement and guarantees much much better games in future ( not yet because after examining their opponent that much , players are generally able to kill them by exploiting their early-mid game weaknesses these days ) I would love to see GSTL prize and size getting bigger tho , kinda on par with GSL. GSL will always be the real deal , the tournament you watch to see perfect plays and stuff , but GSTL will always be more fun/easy to watch especially if/when they grow some grudge between teams and players | ||

It was fun to see Bomber BM Losira during the last GSTL finals, both in-game and physically. Watching SlayerS throw player after player against MC to take down the 2-time GSL champion also brought a ton of entertaining drama. All-kills are always awesome. Back in BW, the first televised game for many top players often came not from individual leagues but instead from the Proleague games. Players like IMSeed, SlayerS_Ryung, and SlayerS_Min never really appeared in the GSL individual leagues, yet their icebreaker game in the GSTL really showed that they are formidable players with tons of potential and definitely worth watching whenever they fight their way into the GSL or any other tournament. Also, I really enjoyed the creativity in many of the builds used in the GSTL. IMSeed wowed us with brilliant hallucination usage, trickery, and mind games. Squirtle dazzled us with excellent macro play and cool mothership usage. SlayerS_Min built over 100 banelings and caused nergasms all over the world when he nuked TOP's army with them. When a player's individual status in the league isn't at stake and there are still many kills left before a victory, many creative builds are sure to appear to entertain the audience and cheer on the team. | ||

In Brood War, Proleague is of a higher priority than individual leagues as the players are playing under the name of their corporate sponsors, thus advertising their backers who pay their salaries. The same will be true if corporations start claiming the ownership of the teams. | ||

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. User was warned for this post Lulzy noob.... | ||
