There's just too many tournaments and not enough buildup for each one. If instead of every month, what if they had a GSL every 3-4 months? It would allow us time to build up story and hype. Up the prizes, drag it out, make all series a best of 5 or more, play a round 32 man round robin season or something. Some of us don't have the time to follow all of it anymore. I kind of see your point too. It would solve the issue of players dodging other events too. But it would even further slow the turn around of players in code s/a/b which is a little rough on those good players who are still fighting their way up | ||

I mean NesTea has already provided that season defining game in his match against NaDa. Yeah, If I was a Zerg player I would feel the same way but as Protoss there just isn't enough incentive. If Sage makes S I will get it next season though. I know the A matches are good but without Tastosis it isn't worth the $ for me. | ||

I still don't know why people think its a good idea to copy over every structure from Brood War in Starcraft 2. | ||

They're giving nearly 2M$ (yeah, 2 millions dollars) a year to players....I don't understand why you say what you say. Well i would assume that money is already put up by sponsors/Blizzard/Gretech themselves. I really don't like the idea of prize money being salary anyway, thats just not a salary. One bad month and you can't afford to live? It's just not transparent and i'd personally feel more comfortable supporting teams directly. | ||

They sell a product, if you don't think it's entertaining then don't buy it. TvT isn't their fault but it is less entertaining when it's prevalent, so sorry but that means people won't buy the product. I think you're a little confused. I never said people MUST buy GOM. I said you don't have to buy if you don't have the money or you don't enjoy it because there are too many terrans. I said you shouldn't be demanding for GOM to do something about the terrans or else you won't buy GOM tickets. GOM has done enough things within their control to make it balanced. | ||

Just for example setting up brackets with terran knocking other terran out or against zerg who are specifically good against terran, there is also maps they could change, to make them more unfavorable to terran. No that's an awful idea, how did you come up with this? Fixing groups/matchups/maps to favor non-terran players just to flush them out. It just needs time and less terrans will be in code S. Also as I said previously it's just that there's so many good terran players and so few very good protoss/zerg. | ||

Yeah, let's rig the brackets, that seems fair. The GSL map pool is already probably more balanced than most if not all, since they use their own maps. There's a reason why MLG, NASL, etc., and even Blizzard (Tal Darim) have adopted the GSL maps. | ||

Plus, even as a Protoss player, I still enjoy TvZ What I don't like about code S, though, is the inflexibility in new players getting there. The code A tosses are much better than Hong Un or Genius and it seems like there are always some mediocre players who hold on to there code S spot. | ||
