So you throw in Parting and Squirtle because Squirtle winning in the first two rounds of the tournament and Parting being in the second round? Anyway, Im done with this conversation, saying who will be on the team is just speculation anyway.

Is the "preparation" really the only reason people can point out as being bad? People watch and love MLG just fine. It takes a lot of skill to go through a gauntlet of games in a weekend. Possibly more skill than trying to plan out and methodically counter another person. I don't mind at all and you're all blowing this way out of proportion.

Cool, and people watch MLG for that.

Variety in tournaments is a good thing.

Cannot wait till MKP makes the finals and loses, resulting in everyone saying he lost because he had to play IPL5 and Ro8->Finals in a single weekend.

Or he wins and people say he isn't a real champion because the format was changed.

so instead of having the baller amazing finals with all the production and amazing interviews and setting that we normally have

the GSL finals are going to be squeezed between some rounds with both players already tired from all the games they played

why would anyone think this is a good idea?

well this is quite the change

i really think they should play only the finals there (and fly out the finalists a week early too so they can adjust to the jetlag)

oh, and also seed the finalists into ipl5 too.

so alive + 7 regional winners + 2 gsl finalists = 10 players

satellites qualified -> open bracket -> six progress = 16 (more than six if needed e.g. if finalists are already qualified e.g. mkp or taeja)

16 players play groups -> single elim

i know it's a changed format from announced but this would work better

also as it is, IPL5 would in be in mid-oct. i'm thinking it might be better for late oct so they can play ro8 and ro4 at home

Dude he lost to MC and Creator Prime (in a series he shoulve won) I dont see how he has "disappointed" really (well i guess by his standards every game he loses is a disappointement if you are trying to argue that) Everybody has a few bad games, he;ll be back for GSL season 4 and the first SC2 OSL.

no such thing really as "should have won" - i am not so sure drg is that heavily favoured against either of them anyway. unless we're talking about D/C or something, "should have" just undermines the winner's skill

GOM said they wanted to have Psy perform Gangnam style at next GSL Finals.
Next GSL finals at IPL, which is at Las Vegas.
Psy flying over and performing Gangnam Style?!
HOLY CHECK!!!

hoooo damnnnnn



also one thing to think about i guess is the fact that the blizzard cup last year was pretty much the same as a weekend tourney so yea

This is pretty disappointing actually, even given time constraints on GOM's part.

the GSL schedule on their korean site has the RO8 for GSL4 happening in early october so unless they delay season 4, IPL5 has to happen in october

crap idea. GSL has always been about longer term preparation for opponents. This will prevent alot of unique strategies from being thought out and used.

Winner will be your Random weekend tournament #632 Champion, not a GSL Champion.


This is my sentiment as well. In addition, gsl needs to hold its tournament finals in korea lol.

Ok, then we have to wait for wither GOM or IPL to confirm when it will really take place

This is a pretty frustrating announcement. Finals, sure... But uerh, it's not really like the GSL to do this. RO8 is now an single elim arena OHKO em all or something?
