Simple enough. oh come on, pressing the play button is to hard? Some excuses here make me wonder how some ppl even can play on a PC. | ||

Having underdogs break through into the finals is always exciting, remember the Royal Roaders of BW? Code S is also starting to get more and more terrans making it increasingly boring to watch. They also need to get with the program and make sick intros like the OSL/MSL to hype the players more. Slightly longer gaps between leagues would also increase my interest. Maybe 1 tournament over 2-3 months. i have the same feeling that the BW starleague format is kinda more exciting, having underdogs break through is allways exciting to see! and you allways wonder how long they will last! as i can see, its so difficult to get into Code S if you're coming from Code A, they should make the formats bigger, like double the ammount of players up because there are so many players who could play in Code A/S which just cant duo to luck/unlucky draws etc | ||

And even if you don't want to sit through the whole thing, they show relevant and amusing snippets for each player before the first round matches every season. They also do post-match interviews. I'm not quite sure you've actually watched recent seasons to make this judgement. Yeah, I have watched the group selections, but it's done all in one sitting which is really not the same as a pre-match interview. And yes, I have watched nearly all of code A and code S so far this and last season. How much of their personality do you see? That small snippet of happiness after winning a match? Comparatively, MLG Columbus had the MC and Idra rematch-up to name one, Anaheim had the MMA and Boxer student-mentor match. The pre-match interview gave them an opportunity to show just a bit more of themselves and what they were feeling so the crowd could identify with them while they played. A post-match interview doesn't really do much in this aspect. Furthermore, while the post-match interviews are done, it's the pre-match that can really prove to be more interesting. Post-match how many of them would trash-talk their opponent? Most replies would be I'm happy about this result or although I won today there is still room for improvement. What I personally would love to see is some pre-match stuff, perhaps a friendly rivalry between the players, some flair that players like MC love to show. I'm not saying the matches haven't been good, but it's the lack of connection from the players that make it hard to watch. That being said, it's a personal opinion, so it's not the same for everyone. | ||

Fair enough then. I guess MLG does have more intensity overall, though I don't really know it's completely fair to compare it to the GSL in that respect since, as mentioned on the previous page, they're on completely different schedules. That said, it's not like GSL's format precludes pre-match interviews. I've never felt a pressing need for them though, as I'm satisfied with the current content. | ||

At least there is a lot of Protoss in Code A, but how many of them will be eliminated in the first matches? The up and down matches were brutal for the Protoss. Honestly, I am way more excited for Dreamhack Valencia than GSL October. | ||

I still like to watch GSL, but then again, I haven't been watching for a very long time yet. I don't mind the high amount of TvT (even though I'd love to see more P). | ||

 )Also terran is pro friendly (while normal players have their problems with them) Which might become an balancing issue. (though i think blizzard is looking more into the pro level) So maybe hots will bring some courage to people thinking of raceswitching, though i doubt it. As for intros and things, some footage would be nice yes, or player stats. So just a bit spicing up. That korea is terran land is not gsls fault . Anyway i like watching gsl. And tvt is always fun. | ||

Especially for situations like the foreigners playing their matches one day after arriving in Korea (i.e. Thorzain, Naniwa, ...) it would help a lot if players would have a second chance and not drop out immedatly. I wouldn't even care that much about some games not being broadcasted for time reasons. | ||

Now THAT'S an intro video. Pretty much everyone involved with Starcraft 2 just recycles the campaign CGI Well, apart from the TSL video! | ||
