The reason why I don't watch GSL any more is pretty simple. I only watch matches in which Protoss participates. Because there are not that many Protoss in the GSL, and because when they do play I can predict the result, there's no reason for me to watch anymore.

Also i can't stand tvt especially, its the most boring matchup to watch and it usually makes up for the majority of the games when the GSL finals come closer.

zvz.. alright..

why not have separate mirror leagues only, it would be quite nice, since I dont believe in cross-race balance anyways, its quite arbitrary who wins unless there are fair circumstances for the players. I'd certainly buy a pass for a pvp league, its the only MU I'm interested in anyways right now.

GSL may want to consider putting limits on how many people of an individual race are allowed in the tournament at any particular given point in time (arbitrarily no more than half or something). Having just shy of 2/3 of code S be terran kills it for me, personally. While it is a tournament of skill and it would suck to be barred because of your race selection, there is still sufficient competition to get into the tournament that anyone getting in will be skilled enough to provide decent games, and it may encourage some players to switch races.

Just a thought, I'm sure a lot of people would hate it, and for reasons I can well understand.

I've followed the first 5 or 6 seasons, but I wont buy a ticket for like two games I'm interested in.

The terrans in Code S are there because they win their matches.
In fact I am surprised that there are still 8 terrans in Code A even though every single decently good terran already secured a Code S spot.

Koreans play Terran more than the other two races. Makes sense that the distribution of races is Terran heavy in any Korean tournament.

yep, same boat. it's been way too Terran heavy and I personally just think the 3 Terran match-ups are more boring than the 3 non-Terran match-ups. I haven't really bothered staying up unless it was a Zerg-heavy night.

it's not Gom's fault that no matter how Terran plays (1/1/1 all in, turtle, or anything in between) it's just not that exciting to most spectators. I think the other problem is there's a Korean Terran style, and, well, we see it way too much. It's like watching Spurs games all the time. Sure, I love basketball, but I'd rather watch college basketball than the Spurs playing.

I think the obvious answer is that they have the best chances to win as Terran, and when there's money and your career on the line, you choose what gives you the best advantage.

We need to see stats, but in my case, it's like very intuitive to pick Earth defenders ^^

Such a statement. Kind of biased.

I enjoy TvP and TvZ that are not one-sided (yes, we need better Ps and Zs to compete with top Ts, they are not even closer to them in terms of skill).

And talk about other mirror matches, PvP and ZvZ. TvT is by far the most entertaining to watch and sometimes produces epic matches.

Of course, everything that needs to be patched should be done, but still I think Top Ts are way better than Top Ps, for instance. Once thing is to lose to 1-1-1, and a different thing is to die to whatever T throws at you.

its hardly gretechs fault that the korean terrans are doing so well..

its not a korea only phenomenon too. usually you see (korean) terrans winning tournaments everywhere.

i believe if they bring back them khaydarian amulets protosses everywhere will be back again.
