I don't understand why GSL keep focusing on the West when there's plenty of opportunities right beside them. There's plenty of viewers in Asia following the GSL, and I don't know why GSL keep looking over them. Cause dollar is much more powerful and west has people well enough to pay to watch sc2? Korea/china/Taiwan has no one that will pay to play. the maybe make almost as much in gomtv.net with 100k-ish viewers as in Korea with half a million viewers. | ||

Haha, DoA's post made me feel really happy for some reason. It's nice to see that Korean players are so willing to play with foreigners. On the flip side, it makes the Fnatic articles seem even more flawed, since those articles actually brought up practice partners as a problem -_- | ||

Lol if esport depends on pay to watch, then there will be no esport. The key source of income is sponsors,China and Taiwan has huge enough demand for e-products(ram,keyboard,cpu etc.) which are the main sponsors of esport, after all it is much easier for korean's local products to export to nearer market and than to the West which already have they own establish brand. | ||

The format should be winner of last match picks his player first and then other team chooses opponent. This continues throughout each match.This gives coaches a greater responsibility of knowing their team, picking the right opponents, the right times, and gets all the players involved. Like golf rider cup, you dont see Tiger Woods doing "all kills". He plays his match and it has the same weight as all the other matchups going on. | ||

Theoretically myself and 3 other bronze players can team with OGSMC and win a GSTL. That should never be a possibility in a team league.

Heh MC and 6 other Code S players Haven't been able to do it so far. The problem with how you argue is that specific players are able to set up sniping builds for specific players on specific maps. It doesn't always work out but I find the way it is done currently is the most exciting way to do it. | ||

Correct. Just yesterday as I bought something to drink at 7/11 in Taipei, I saw them selling a mouse with the portrait of July on it :D | ||

Most people love the winners format, it provides way more excitement. | ||

Like golf rider cup, you dont see Tiger Woods doing "all kills". He plays his match and it has the same weight as all the other matchups going on. I think the current rules make for interesting matches though. like the gstl finals, which have all been awesome, all going to the final ace match. Team strategy has to consider the opposing team's 'ace' players. They should have a couple players prepared for the match up on specific maps. We've seen this from Slayers_Frozen w/ his blink 'abuse' on taldarim altar(Although he didnt actually get to face off the 'ace' of team MVP, you get the jist). Its also 'better' to watch your favorite player play more game. At least for me, it would be slightly dissapointing to see bomber dominate the opposing player and has to leave the booth because of the rules. I want to see as many of his games as possible. But then again, eveyone wants different things and its impossible to please everyone at the same time. Edit: was it slayers frozen? might be remembering it wrong. | ||
