It was a major team league in WC3 run by the ESL that ran for like 15 seasons, had LAN finals for the top 4 teams, tens of thousands of dollars in prize money and featured all of the world's best players. It was such a big deal in WC3 that teams bankrupted themselves signing the best players on huge contracts to try and win it. Those times were awesome. On a different note, SC2 needs to regionalize more. The EPS, for all the flak that it gets, is a good thing, actually allowing for offline events to happen. All these online invitationals with the same players from around the world playing each other are ultimately meaningless and I as a viewer am tiring of them. | ||

Half of the excitement from GSTL comes from the crazy ceremonies, the camera panning across the team to see who will come out next...shots of the players in the booth after winning or losing. Even if the games are really high quality, I don't think you can really replicate the same thing with an online league imo. | ||

Another thing is that they live and practice together and are basically a family. | ||

What are u talking about, For GSTL format u need 4 players for bo7 and 5 players for bo9, and im 100% every major team in EU and NA has even more than that. Streamers, commentators and referees ? What tournament doesnt have them, even go4sc2 has them all, even craftcups and so did TSL and so does EG masters cup. | ||

all the people below the obvious topplayers are clearly worse otherwise they would make it through more qualifiers and smaller cups in korea there's only one big tournament and it's really hard to get into/through code a, so many very good players remain unknown for longer than they should but ofc, more leagues would be better =) and i do like the tgsl format | ||

Cruncher?. Its possible. I like the idea Beasty, and also prefer that format to the EG cup. | ||

One thing i would like tho(might be a bit off topic), is to hear/read the talk within the team when they choose their next player. Ofc thier oppenents doesnt get to hear/read how they are thinking, only the viewers and the casters. This can be done in many ways, either you just bring the team leader on skype and he says who they are sending and why. Or you just put one team in a b.net chat channel and the casters join that channel and show it on the stream as players are discussing. Im not sure whats the best option for this, i just think it would be very entertaining to watch, "No lets save Naniwa for Idra" etc ^^ | ||
