pretty much this, i have never and likely will never buy a gom ticket, but that's not because of tvt. that said, the amount of tvt certainly wouldn't encourage me to do so if i was interested in spending my money on gom ahead of other tournaments

I want to see the best players so I watch GSL. Yes there are many TvTs, no it's not boring. But I must say that escpecially this season I almost always am rooting for the non terrans just for the sake of having not only tvts

I thought people pay for GSL to watch high level play. If you don`t want to pay because lack of racial diversity, then I ask why would you ever want to watch GSL in the first place when you can get your "racial uniformity" free elsewhere.

I didn't buy the ticket because I'm fucking broke.

But I definitely would if I could

Well saying things like 'you want to hurt GOM's pockets' and then absolving blame from GOM that it's all TvT. feels like you are implying he should buy a ticket anyway. You can't say he's trying to blame GOM i didn't see anything like that, he says 'best league ever' so i don't think it's a negative thing about them.


Well from the way he worded the thread, it seems as if he doesn't like the racial balance in GSL, thinks GOM should take drastic actions, or they won't get his money.

Regardless of balance or not, there are still a select-few world-class players who are flourishing as Z, and not as much so, but also P. It's just that the current metagame is supporting Terran, and the reasons may be vast, but one has to be patient and allow a period of dominance to occur, until a reversal can be implemented.

I don't think 1.4 has been live long enough, nor has WoL in general been live long enough, for us to be able to state that there are imbalances. We are being a tad too impatient in my honest opinion; it's times like these when the greatest theorycrafting occurs - when certain races backs are against the walls.

Relating to the OP, I think that TvT is perfectly acceptable, and is the best description of a chess match. I simply did not buy a ticket because I don't have enough time to watch the GSL at 5AM, and I also don't have the energy to watch VoD's, because I am typically busy doing other things. I don't mind hearing about the results / winners though.

When you are prepared, there's no such thing as pressure.

Bought GSL October and AOL, kinda regretting it now. I thought the mixed race pools in AOL were going to make for a more diverse tournament... kinda did I guess.

When you have 2 races that have inherent problems and one that hasn't changed much since bw you'll end up with a lot of TvT at the top level. Look how many band aid changes protoss and zerg have had over the past year with terran getting a few timing adjustments. You guys blaming Gomtv for how Code S has panned out is laughable.
There's no S in KT. :P

I didn't buy it due to the TvT situation...I think in 2-3 months it will be cleared up though, and I'll go back to buying passes.

(minus the finals lol).


the finals were cursed by kespa doing their evil voodoo magic. I don't see a reason not to buy a ticket, just because code s has alot of tvt. The games are still fun to watch.
I still have to laugh everytime marines and siege tanks engage. And when its over you see two red parallel lines. Despite this we don't micro agreement, tvt in code s varies alot, so its really worth it.
But tvt is the best matchup anyways. Since there could be 396 supply of siege tanks out.

I'm not buying it until they get rid of all the protosses and zergs.
Seriously I even get those guys on the ladder all the time, are they just fucking with me or what?

First time not buying a ticket for me because of the TvT.

The reason it does matter is because blizzard puts a lot of money into GSL. GSL can put pressure onto blizzard saying, "hey nobody wants to watch this TvT shit anymore do us a favor and fix the other races." That doesn't mean blizz will listen but pressure from people like GOM and MLG is probably worth more than people whining on a forum.


edit: I still bought team league and AOL tickets.

I've just stopped buying GSL tickets entirely. The seasons are too short, it's too much SC2 for me to find time to watch, and team league is better.
