EPTHe reminds me of Dana White in a way. Both did soooo much for the growth of their brand and sport, in many ways that most people are unaware of.

I know the amount of games per league has increased, but that only means that the league demands the players to show us more games for the increased costs (which I am sure the players are happy to do). However, it does not change the fact that I now pay gom 50% more per season, while they do not forward not even close to that percentage of money more to the players participating in the league. | ||

I don't like that mush this sentence though : "Also, it is a way to include players in Code S that the sponsor might desire". Always hard to keep a fair tournament when players are not chosen only due to their results... | ||

I hope we'll see more foreigner dominance in 2012 in the GSL :< Last year with Idra and Jinro coming pretty far, that should be possible again with more players. | ||

I don't like that mush this sentence though : "Also, it is a way to include players in Code S that the sponsor might desire". Always hard to keep a fair tournament when players are not chosen only due to their results... I don't think you meant "fair," as much as "quality." Those seeds exist, so a player who has "good results" but didn't quite get seeded in to Code S because there were only 30 and not 32 available seats would get denied even if they didn't give the sponsors a say and instead just gave those seeds to winners of foreign events. And if a player who is unworthy skill-wise receives the seed they will promptly be knocked back down to where they belong thanks to the increased mobility of the new GSL system, so it doesn't affect fairness per se. What it does affect is the quality of the event if we see games that are woefully one-sided because a player of insufficient or indeterminate skill received the seed. Except that sponsors are going to want fan-favorite players to compete to increase viewership. It's not like they're going to open up the TL.net stream list and play russian roulette for the seed. They will choose players that viewers, and thus sponsors, want to see compete, and so we can rest assured that they will be people of skill. | ||

I think it's a matter of time before a foreign player defies the odds and goes Jinro in the GSL. | ||

However, it does not change the fact that I now pay gom 50% more per season, while they do not forward not even close to that percentage of money more to the players participating in the league. its already been calculated at some posts before, you're paying the same $$ for the same amount of games sure, there's less total leagues but more games per league, so it turns out to be about just the same amount of games total | ||

Similarly, cooperation with overseas tournaments has led to more players participating frequently overseas, further improving the financial situation of Korean players. this is both humorous and depressing. =| good interview. | ||
