There are a few still, but I'm just not going to pay that much money for so few games in which Code S zergs are playing. If zerg were to make it to the finals I might buy it afterwards so I could go back and watch all the games, but it didn't make any sense to buy it ahead of time when they could all get knocked out early. wait a sec you like zerg and there is losira, coca, nestea, drg and leenock in there which are pretty much the top 5 zergs in the world right now (probably july instead of leenock but the rest pretty much is) i could understand protoss players boycotting gsl but for zerg players gsl is still very interesting. | ||

And I bought a pass, TvT is a fine matchup in my opinion, I like it better than the other mirrors and probably more than ZvP. | ||

I watch GSL to gain more strategies or tactics to play as Protoss but nothing encourages me at the moment. Well, maybe next season then.. code a was great for protoss jyp, hero, oz and especially sage! | ||

While i do agree that excessive amounts of TvT can really wear on you, the quality of the games this season have really been above any prior season. I feel as though the people who are not buying a season pass are also the same people who are all for supporting eSports, when its convenient. At least its TvT, could you imagine if every night of GSL was PvP? Its not really a boycott though, thats a really negative way to pigeon hole people. Theres a difference between an active boycott of 1 service and a decision that you actually would favour another service over it. Just because people have decided that they dont wish to continue buying GOM season tickets doesnt mean they arnt "supporting esports" either because competative gaming does not begin and end with the GSL. Theres only so many hours in a day that a person can spend watching starcraft 2 (20, with 4 hours to sleep/play) and if a person chooses to use those hours watching a different provider because TvT isnt their favourite matchup that doesnt make them a worse supporter. | ||

We had in GSL October : 19 TvT 3 ZvZ 1 PvP 19 TvP 22 TvZ 33 ZvP That's a lot of TvT in the mirror match group, but in the whole it's like 20% TvT overall, one game of five, it's not unbearable. Before the season started I was afraid of TvT saturation, but in fact I didn't really felt it. Unrelated : this month was played the 2000th GSL game  | ||

What's not to like about this season? TvT is a fun match-up, and there are lots of zergs doing great now. Killer will probably go down to CoCa, but it's all good fun either way. | ||

I actually don't mind watching TvTs, it's the most developed matchup, because terran still has the most potential of any race. I anticipate new styles and builds to keep being made for TvT, while the other terran matchups don't require new innovations yet, so they sit rather stale. One of the benefits of this is that there's lots of ZvTs to study... | ||

But I completely stopped staying up to watch live, which I used to do pretty often. I can only watch marine/bfh/mule steamroll anything and everything so many times. | ||

The first code S day was the most painful, with 7 terrans in 2 groups, but after that it was quite ok.

There's a lot of TvT, but it's far from the worst mirror so it's not so bad (although the new PvP seems to have potential for good games). I feel that people who focus on GomTvT don't watch Code A, which is short sighted. A full 21/32 Code S players came from Code A. And that's ignoring Leenock, Polt, MKP, MVP who all requalified after losing their up/down matches. Seriously, except at the very top (Nestea, MVP, Bomber, ect) the gap between Code A and Code S isn't that big. Plus Wolf/Doa are becoming a pretty good casting pair (Moletrap is getting better too imo). | ||
