LeenockfOu / FXOLeenock.

That's why I bought the ticket. And I'm pretty darn happy in my decision.

I can emphasize with Protoss players because honestly I'm mostly interested in games that feature a Zerg player.

But then again a lot of zergs are doing good this season, I think it's the first time we're close to 33% so I'm quite happy!

With Nestea and DRG representing, I have all the diversity my swarm heart needs. Although all these Terrans aren't making Nestea's life any easier.

23 terrans
8 zerg
9 protoss

It's always been the Global Terran League anyway for those that were actually counting the scores.

I seriously considered NOT buying a ticket this season, but I did, after all. It's depressing to watch almost every toss get their ass handed to them by Terrans, although some do deserve to lose as they were outplayed. I just wanted to watch what was left of the Protoss players, and I do like a good ZvX as well. There are still a few Protoss in Code A as well. Generally I will always buy a ticket because it's only 10 bucks for almost a months worth of entertainment and I'm supporting Esports by doing so. Seems like a win/win to me. I really wish something would change soon though in regards to the PvT matchup, but we need to realize it's not GOM's fault Terrans are dominating. We shouldn't punish them for it.
We march to victory!

I didn't get a ticket this season, but since the patch I've stayed up and watched a few of the games. GSTL as well. I think the most recent patch is a start in the right direction. I think we have a lot of strong non terrans coming up from Code A as well this season. Hopefully some of them will make it up to code S. Kind of sucks about some of the people in the up and downs. + Show Spoiler +
Polt and Top deserve Code S. They aren't some of the Terrans who got there riding the 1/1/1 or favored matchups due to being Terran.
It's a shame this is coming along late enough for so many toss and zergs to fall. There's always hope that everything will work out, though.

I didn't buy it for the same reason I didn't buy any other seasons: Charging to watch tournaments doesn't grow the community.

I still don't understand why the last place in group play doesn't just get demoted to Code A and the 3rd place goes to the up and down, that way there will be alot more code a players getting into code s and more code s players dropping out of code s.

The problem is not so much the amount of terrans in GSL (28 out of 64) but the amount of terrans in Code S and part of the problem is that it is so ridiculously hard to drop out of code s, so no matter how much the code s terrans lose their chances are very high that they will still be in code s next season.

I definitely think last place should drop out of code s and 3rd place should go to the up and down matches.

It that already were the case 4 terran , 3 protoss and 1 zerg would drop out of code s this season.

And 2 terran, 3 protoss and 3 zerg would get into code s.

and we would have

6 code s terrans, 1 code s protoss and 1 code s zerg in the up and downs
and
3 code a terrans, 4 code a zergs and 1 code a protoss in the up and downs

in a best case scenario 10 terrans could drop out of code s (4 would for sure) and only a minimum of 2 would get up to code s, so in a best case scenario the number of terrans, just after this season could already be reduced to 12.


the way it is now we only have 4 code s terrans in the up and downs and 2 code a terrans. so even if all of them fail to qualify we would still have 16 terrans in code s and that is already the very best case scenario. if 4 of them fall out and 2 of them make it in we still have 18 terrans in code s, if all of them make it in we have 22 terrans in code s, whereas with the first system there would definitely be less terrans after this season.

I enjoy all matchups to some extent but protoss is the race i want to see most, so when there's no protoss games ever i do get kinda tired of it and tend to watch a lot less.

because you only need to loose 2 bo1s and you are 4th place.

oGsTOP is clearly one of the best players in the GSL but he had a bad day yesterday. so it would be really unfair for players like him to immediately get demoted.


the only way it would be some kind of fair it they removed the current group system and made all matches bo3

In fact, if you look by days, there wasn't so much TvT this season. The first code S day was the most painful, with 7 terrans in 2 groups, but after that it was quite ok. (which is normal as 35% of the terran played in 25% of days)


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


If this stat is true, then it really isn't the amount of TvT that people dislike.

It's the amount of T.

Having watched Tastosis for a while makes me wanna mute other casters out there. Tastosis could be casting NA bronze league and I would still buy a ticket.

What the hell goes through a persons mind, to interpret not giving a company which hosts an unentertaining tournament business, as punishment for game balance? I dont find the GSL entertaining due to all the TVT's, period. Thats not punishment, its merely response to a fact.

The round of 16 has 5 out of 8 being Zerg matches, so I'm extremely happy. I basically buy GSL tickets no matter what, anyway. It's the best tournament with the highest level of play so I don't see any reason not to buy it.

GSL has ALWAYS had a majority asian players, and I dont see how this is an issue.

I didn't buy this season as starting to get tired from watching too much SC2. I'm watching less and less each season so no point wasting money on it. The amount of terrans in it and lack of players I care about was also a factor in that decision.
