So yeah, GSL is the biggest SC2 tournament in the world. Not surprised. Hopefully the July finals are a huge success with a big turnout. | ||

And yes, there were a ton of refreshes, but its still three days vs seven months. I tuned into gsl more times than I refreshed the mlg stream. The thing is, if GSL is a special 3 days tourney, gathers all the like of Nestea,MC,Bomber, features Tastosis casting, with awesome preshow kpop, no disconnecting whatsoever, and at a lil bit reasonable time etc Im sure it would surpass MLG by miles | ||

I dont think these can be a negative as it's pretty obvious the scene has grown tremendously. | ||

Not even that, but they could really bring in a lot of foreigner viewers by capitalizing on early round GSL games targeted to foreigners as a special event. For example, they could broadcast a match in the RO32 of the GSL featuring a player popular in the foreign community at a time bracket targeted to foreign viewers, but still somewhat reasonable for the players. 10 PM EST, for example, would be decent for the players(10AM), but still hit a prime time type bracket. For example, I don't think the Korean interest in say, Sheths RO32 Code A game was much higher then foreigner interest. | ||

Also, the huge foreign numbers aren't too surprising, as you can see how the GSL has been making a very conscious effort to be foreigner friendly, first with the Code A seeding, then the MLG exchange program, ect. But China... if the non-Chinese/Korean viewership is 50 mil for 6 months, China is going to be their most important market. I guess it's not too surprising since China is probably the biggest War3 scene and the year they hosted WCG they got like 100k people in attendance. Best thing that could happen to GSL now is if Moon makes a deep Code A run next season lol. | ||
