I also wish GSTL would just grow into something similar to PL. | ||

I do wish GSTL would return to its original carnival 2-3 day feel (with all kills etc, exactly like it was originally), and then put in a team league like what BW has to run alongside GSL season. edit: and if they did bring in the old carnival GSTL, then it could also be possible to get foreign teams over there, given they'd only need a few days of time investment. Although that would still be super expensive, so they probably wouldn't come anyway. | ||

More GSTL and higher prizemoney for it is cool, although i don't really agree with double elimination here. A system like for the PL in BW would indeed be optimal IMO. | ||

Less GSL seasons but more games per season (and thus it'll mean more to become a champion) is fine, but i wonder how the players think about it. Probably a lot of them will reconsider being pro now that they get less chances to climb up and also that the prizemoney comes less frequently and still at the same value.

It's fine they've got mlg and I'm expecting a lot from them I bet sundance will be giggling once he hears about this. | ||

. . . some teams will get eliminated really fast. . . . foreign teams wont participate in GSTL. The risk is to high to get out of the tourney after a small number of matches. . . . no team wants to get eliminated early, so they only use established players to take no risks. . . . it would be a great opportunity for unknown players to show their skill and if their team only plays a couple of matches their wont get a chance. . . . the teams that advance to the finals will get a huge advantage. They will be broadcasted way more than the other teams and over the next season there is a chance to have a few "big" teams that always advance "small" teams that get roflstomped. Then there would be less competition. | ||

Practically speaking they went from 8 torunaments to 5. For the top end players the prize money is less but for everyone else it's better. Consider MVP's lost seeason in code A, he got Code S Ro32 money then drastically less than that for coming in 2 nd in Code A. The new system would have paid him a lot more for his time in Code A as well as giving him a chance to get back into Code S in the same season aka what Supernova and Keen did this season (they also got much more than just ro32 money this season by crawling back). Edit: forgot the code A comparison someone like the second coming of Yugioh (code A 6 out of 7 seasons) the money is still better in the new system because he gets paid the equivalent of 10 of the old Code A prizepools. | ||

As far as i know, there is no harmed feelings between any of these players. Not sure if idra likes NaNi tho, but I'm not sure why he wouldn't, can't remember any argument between them. Would be really cool to see this, and they would have a good chance of really making an impact, with all the talent between players such as Huk, Idra, PuMa, NaNiwa, SaSe and Destiny. Also Quantic sais that they are looking for a korean terran, wich would give them a rly nice mixture. I'm definitly holding my thumbs for this! :D | ||

1. GSL will now last longer 2. Code S price-money wont change 3. BO3 instead of BO1 = The players will need to play more games, over a longer period, for the same amount of money | ||

You're reading too much between the lines  EDIT: Also, even if you're right, Code A deserves a bigger part of the share so I don't have an issue with it. | ||
