Here we're talking about ro4 and grand final being played with few preparation and a whole other event (IPL5) being played at the same time. | ||

We have had the finals. thats it. this is a terrible idea. and it will end terribly. | ||

If it is just the finals, then yes, it would just be like MVP vs MMA. But moving the entire Ro8 to a single weekend drastically changes the preparation format compare to normal GSL. | ||

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 Ro8 isn't several rounds did you even do the math :l thats Ro8, Ro4, Championship :l sooooooooooooo yea no it's fine and you're freaking out about it for absolutely no reason. | ||

America has to watch GSL at bad times all the time. Its roughly 5am-8am for me and that is literally the worst possible time. We are forced to do it for every single match. doing it for one weekend will not hurt you. IM sorry i feel no sympathy for you. | ||

But we already have a lot of weekend style offline events. Althought with WCG, OSL, and WCS() in Korea, we have more preparation events as well. | ||

I.e. This isn't just about the lack of prep time. there is a ton of other circumstances that will ultimately make it a battle of "who's luckiest to not get sick and get a good rest". If they are having the entire GSL single elimination phase of the tournament at IPL5 I would expect them to fly the players in a week early and get them adjusted to the time zone. | ||

I would think MVP, MC, NesTea, DRG, an either MKP or Squirtle all give better chances of winning and all have more achievements as well so Taeja would only make it on based on popular vote. | ||

This precisely. Having that all put into one weekend....well it really kills the preparation and the hype. GSL/OSL/MSL etc always had those time periods for which players really could tailor specific builds on specific maps for specific players. Having to play all those games in that tiny period of time...well it's quite a departure from that tournament style and could make it significantly less interesting to watch. Not to mention we won't be able to look forward to and hype each series... | ||
