E: Man, I really don't think the format will be fitting. As others have pointed out, playing several rounds of GSL in one weekend is... well, it's not GSL-like at all. I take it back, I take it all back. ._. gom please save us | ||

Should be interesting to see how the round of 8 to finals format works though since these events are usually just for the weekend. | ||

It might have been a scheduling necessity due to the WCS Korea taking up this entire month for GSL, but it really pulls the rug out from under GSL players who rely on week-to-week preparation like Mvp and Nestea, and favors streaky players like MarineKing. ...wait, this means MKP could win a GSL. I'm suddenly torn. If MKP makes the Ro8, he is also in IPL5. Meaning he'll be doing double duty. Same with players like Polt, Alive, Taeja, Hero, etc. | ||

There's a huge difference in just credibility between GSL and any foreigner tournament, and I think so much of that is the preparation aspect. Why can't it just be the finals? | ||

Nothing wrong with having some variety to the format. And it's not like GOM hasn't tinkered with their tournaments in the past, World Championship, Super Tournament, Blizzard cup etc. At least it's more likely to have a finals that isn't terribly one-sided due to one player coming up with well-prepared strats. | ||

It makes sense when you realize we only have four months left in the year and GOM still needs to do GSL4/5 an Blizzard Cup. | ||
