i personally haven't gotten any in quite a while. just something about the sheer number of tournaments to pay attention to, i just pick the ones that i enjoy a little bit more.

So no GSL for me, even with TvT out the wazoo

What a bunch of racists...

I personally bought it because I love Terrans more than anything... (Jk, but seriously, buying this means that I get to see Nestea thrash some heads)

Bought every GSL so far, and if you haven't then you are really missing out. There's been some excellent games already, and for those whining about 'toss, just buy it for Sage in Code A, guy is UNREAL!)

We need to have some kind of licence for making polls. This one is horrible, mostly because a "I wouldn't have bought it anyways" options is missing.

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.

Look at the title.
Basically he's asking who usually buys a GSL pass but didn't buy one this season because of 20 Terrans.
If you don't buy it anyways then this thread doesn't apply to you.
This isn't "who on TL buys/don't buy GSL."


I think you should look at the title. It says who didn't buy a GSL Oct pass because of racial uniformity, not who didn't buy a GSL Oct pass who usually do because of racial uniformity. Half the people that voted probably didn't even read past the first sentence of the OP and just looked at the poll. I do agree adding a third option for the fish that just vote because they can.

I was actually looking into buying a GSL pass for this season, but I found other things to spend money on and the low quality free stream is good enough for me, I enjoy watching TvT as it de/evolves. I've never bought a GSL pass because the low quality stream is ok for me, and I don't usually watch Vods.

There isn't anything Gom can do about it that wouldn't cause more harm to the tournament than it would help.

That's a fact.

It's the reason I didn't buy it. I play zerg and the biggest reason I watch GSL is to see what the best zergs are doing. 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.


Hmmm. . . I just saw all the Ts and sighed. But perhaps you're right. I'll still probably wait until it's a little father along.

Another way to keep things interesting is to change the format so that more players go to the up and down matches. The racial distribution in Code A is much better than code S, so that might be enough to limit the TvT mirror without having to change the game.

Protoss player here. I've bought every GSL since the beginning. I thought about buying GSL October, but didn't due to two reasons: (1) My studies are picking up in intensity and leaving me with less time, and (2) lack of racial diversity.

I probably won't be getting the next GSL season either, for the same reasons. Only 2 protoss guaranteed to be in code S next season... Code A is fun and more racially balanced, but not casted by Tastosis.

I figured it might be good for me to stick to mostly weekend tourneys, anyway, and the friend I watch with is just as tired of seeing only TvT as I am.

I don't think GOMTV can be blamed. Their job is to assemble the best players in the world, and the best players at the moment are mostly Terran. If that's down to imbalance, it's Blizzards job to fix that. If it's just down to trends, there's not really a good solution. However, it does make for pretty repetitive viewing, which is why I spent my money on the Arena of Legends instead.

Force equal number of positions for all 3 races.

That might actually be the worst idea i've ever heard. Let's force players to change races or remove them because it just so happens that there are a lot of terrans.

Yeah bad idea...if you start bringing over people who don't deserve/earn the spot then there will be a huge skill gap and make games way boring.

Got to echo the others and say this is the worst idea I've heard in a very long time.
You need to construct additional pylons.

I bought it - it's fun to root for the underdog races. That was the story of Open Season 1!

Mirrors are generally boring to watch, it is alright to watch them every now and then but with so much TT lately it's simply not fun anymore, even if I play Terran. Something definitely has to be done to fix the current state of the game.

Can't blame GOMTV for it though, this is in the hands of Blizzard.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.
