My question then is, would it even be possible to get 16 FULL teams in one place for this? It seems like many teams have members spread out around the globe-- the logistics of getting them all together at one time to compete is a team tournament like the GSTL would at least be a nightmare, if not a complete impossibility. I also think of situations like, "Team Liquid lost to EG but EG had their full team and HuK and Jinro couldn't make it." For individual events it isn't critical to have every member of a team present. For a team league it is essential for competitive reasons as well as simply having enough players to compete. I would absolutely love to see it happen so I hope that I am wrong  | ||

1) You get really excited when watching GSTL because the all kill, the suspension, the bm, and the players' expressions. You can't have that playing online. We all knows that it's impossible to get 16 teams around the globe to come to one place and compete. 2) Even if you try to micmic the format, it's really hard. With the normal team format (each player plays against another player on 1 particular map), you don't have to play it live. The players can play their game at any time in the week and send the replays to the organizers. With GSTL format, you don't know who is your next opponent until the previous game is over. So 2 team have to play 1 game, then schedule for the next game, then play that game, then schedule for the next game. With this kind of format, it might take the whole week or two(if players actually have time to follow the schedule) to finish a series. Comparing to current online team league, which players will only play their particular game, GSTL format is really hard to do it online. It's impossible to schedule for 7+7 players and 2 casters to play it live. | ||

I find I'm losing interest in the GSL simply because of the lack of "outside"(if you will) competition (Koreans competing outside Korea/"outsiders" competing in Korea) . But I'm hoping the MLG/GSL exchange program changes that. Although to be honest my hopes aren't really that high. Considering the Koreans have so much more to gain then the foreigners. | ||

bo1 groupstage is pretty standard for bw and was never a problem. msl/osl ran mostly with this format (some changes over the years, but enough to use as an example). It is not you lose one game, you're out. It's you lose two games, you're out. That's like bo3 single elim. ie. tsl3. Taking this to the next stage and blaming it for players going to code a and simply stating as fact that it's bad is just silly to me. And apparently to you. Because in the second paragraph you seem to imply that a bo3 single elim is bad because people can prepare so well. I really disagree with the "bo1 group play is bad in every situation". In certain situations, like if players have flown in and they might get eliminated after 2 games that might be a problem. But in any situation? come on now, get off the bandwagon. | ||

Lets be honest everyone is "bored" now after TSL, there wont be any other tournament like TSL any time soon (until next TSL) so why cant we have foreign GSTL meanwhile that would be hyped just as TSL with awesome casters and best foreign teams out there? ... ♥ Beasty ? Not bored at all, speak for yourself. I loathed the TSL format actually (still loved the games). I agree with you a nicei GSTL like tournament would be pretty cool. Part of what makes the GSTL (and GSL) so exciting is that they're 'offline'. But of course the foreign scene as a whole is not yet as committed, or concentrated for that matter, as to have everyone move in and live in the same region, and enable this sort of events. EG's cup is as good as it goes I'd say. | ||
