Love the GSL but for whatever reason it's lagging so bad nowadays :/ I have no idea why, but for some reason recently if I have the GSL player in a different tab it lags, but if i switch back to that tab it's fine...o.O Other than that it works great. | ||

Also - I am such a huge fan of this new format: only five players can win a GSL this year, and we're going to have so much more time to follow their runs through the tournament and catch up on all the games. | ||

Mr Chae, spitting truth. Watching leenock take forGG to pieces.... even if leenock is top 3 zerg in the world, he's still so young. | ||

What I disagree with is the new GSTL format and the fact that rookies will now have enough chances in Code A anyway. Code A is incredibly stacked and the qualifiers will become even more competitive than they already are. It is true that rookie play occasionally made the GSTL embarassing, however it is also true that it allowed us to discover a few talented players. Nerves are still a major issue for many players, and I guess this will favour players who are just solid rather than allowing everyone to make experience with televised matches. Maybe the KSL could try to do something to replace the lost opportunity? A small online team league where only players who are not in Code A/Code S could work, but I suppose that it might not be attractive enough for the audience. | ||

We saw some turbulence in 2011, but nothing of significance yet. | ||

We plan to switch from the full-league format from second half 2011 into a double elimination tournament format. The full league had an advantage in that many teams could appear often, but individual matches lacked excitement, and teams that employed too many rookie players which decreased the entertainment value of the tournament. Sadly I dont agree with this at all, for me its excited to see a guy coming from nowhere like puzzle making an all kill and getting some attention. Or does everybody forgott that Drg started that way? All killing every single team. Still, we just have to wait and see what comes to 2012. | ||

This is a method that has been used in other ESPORTS as well. A bit concerned with people buying players in to the tourney, but sponsors come first and I don't blame them. Could mean we finally see puma in GSL lol | ||

Be nice for more tournaments with foreign vs korea but not making them play the day or dayafter that they first arrive in korea like normal. Same with code S and Code A spots, please make it so if you invite anyone to korea from now on, they need to come to korea like 2 weeks or more before they play the game. | ||

MMA/DRG/Huk are the only ones i can think off. | ||

Well, yes. Although they may also have a mindset in place that means it takes an explicit offer, rather than a sounding out, to provoke a response. What worries me is that GOM is obviously the largest player in eSports (right now) (in Korea), but they may be taking a passive stance in maintaining that position. If Gom relies on where they are and what they are doing and their position as the sole means of attracting other organizations (sponsors, potential partnerships, even players or teams) they may end up slowly stagnating and being surpassed by other organizations globally. (I don't see any currently that will do it, simply from a presence standpoint; Gom is more visible for longer periods, as opposed to (example) MLG which is very visible for three to four days every couple of months. But MLG has a broader base (in that it runs more different tournaments/games) that can attract a wider variety of possible sponsors and players.) I guess my real concern is, that yes Gom is the Big Dog of eSports right now, what are they doing to ensure that they will remain that way as international organizations begin to grow and compete across a broader spectrum of the global audience? Besides Tastosis and arguably the best player pool, their product isn't exactly optimized for a global audience. (Not that I'm complaining about the Kpop. Even if I have no idea what they're singing, they have good voices and great moves.) | ||

Look at tennis - probably the most developed globally individual sport. Granted - golf brings a bit more money but that's probably because it generates more interest among rich people and it's definitely less popular than tennis, especially outside US&UK. Either way - tennis is at least 2nd most developed individual regular there is. And you know what? There are wild cards in the tournaments - including Grand Slams tournaments. Look here: Wimbledon 2011 Gentlemen's Draw on Wikipedia Wild Card Gilles Müller - advanced to 3rd round Wild Card Dudi Sela - advanced to 2nd round Wild Card Daniel Cox - lost in 1st round Wild Card Arnaud Clement - lost in 1st round Wild Card Daniel Evans - lost in 1st round Wild Card Alejandro Falla - lost in 1st round Wild Card James Ward - lost in 1st round so 7 wild cards in a tournament of 128 players. GSL has 2 wild cards in a tournament of 32 players (Code S). The ratio is rather similar, don't you think? Also it's worth to note that I'm completely ignoring the fact, that there were 9 WC in the qualifiers (another 128 players there - at least 16 of them entered the main draw) and each of them could enter the main draw (although not all of them at the same time). Long story short: this is as normal for a sport competition with significant prize pool as it can be. It's good for everyone, really, if you try to see big picture here. | ||
