However, you have to understand that with the longer GSL seasons came the removal of ST and WC - I mean if you're doubling the length of the GSL essentially that time has to come from somewhere. The old format has 7 GSLs for 6 weeks each, that's 42 weeks total of regular GSL. The new format has 5 GSLs for 8 weeks each, that's 40 weeks of regular GSL. Of course, this kind of comparison misses a lot of subtleness, but I can imagine scenarios where at least the World Champion can be kept in some form. Personally, I just hate to lose moments like: ![[image loading]](http://white-ra.com/white_ra_power.gif) that would not exist in any other format | ||

This will also affect short-term foreign players looking to train in Korea, because now they have to commit for a longer period of time (assuming they make it through multiple rounds) to win any money. they are saving A LOT 2011 8 x 132 = 1,056 (GSL Code S + WC) + 1 x 202 = 202 (ST) + 7 x 12.9 = 90.3 (Code A) ---------------------------- = 1,348.3 M KRW 2012 5 x 132 = 660 (Code S) + 5 x 26 = 130 (Code A) ----------------------------- = 790 M KRW Total savings in 2012 = 558 M KRW So yea, either there is something seriously wrong with my math or they are saving ALOT of money... edit: Thx to Temperance, did have a major error regarding a decimal in here, in my defense it was really early :D | ||

IPL 50K with 100K prize pool NASL 80-100 K prize pool 5 MLG Will have bigger prize pools next year (my guess is 50K each tournament)=250K to 500 K Dreamhack (60 K) IEM (50K) HomeStory Cup (50K) There are even more tournaments than I have named So the Question is Why if I was a lower tier player fight like heck just scratch a living from GSL. When i have a great chance of making a serious living at foreign tournaments... | ||

- GSL format changes, all of them -Longer season, sucks for the players but now the GSL will feel more important(it is important but its silly to have a new champion every month IMO) -Removal of supertournament, regardless of name nothing felt super about it Dislike: -GSTL changes, old format was better. But oh well I feel maybe this change was made to cater the Foreigner teams -World championship removal, pretty exciting event. But oh well I can live with it if more Foreign tournaments try their luck in the GSTL | ||
