EPTThe preparation is what makes the GSL so so good. Its part of the drama and suspense. Watching Seed proxy Robo MC with prism 4 gate was the greatest moment in a televised PvP I have ever seen. And yes, as a protoss player I am completely serious.

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. Completely agree I'm also glad that it seems that a good majority of people here dislike this! | ||

Why did anyone anywhere decide that this was an OK thing to do? Having the entire thing in one weekend? What? Almost no preparation time for the players whatsoever - especially when some of the favorites will have to juggle GSL with IPL? This is a very poor decision. | ||

Anywho, I wonder who the power at be made this decision, was it GSL thinking it was a good idea, or was it IPL using their power to have GSL hold the finals at IPL5 Edit: As the guy above me has also said, if IPL5 is anything like todays broadcast everybody loses. If this is to happen SC2 has got to be the #1 priority. | ||

One of the GSL's best finals happened at Blizzcon between MVP and MMA so it doesn't necessarily have to be in Korea. But GSL piggy-backing off of IPL5 from the Ro8 onwards seems like it's the lesser of the two tournaments, which isn't the case. | ||

Otherwise, if they have the GSL Grand Finals played before IPL5's Grand Finals, it just completely cheapens the prestige for the most competitive tournament in the world. | ||

Not to mention no one gave a shit about the winner of IPL4 (Squirtle won it  ) so to be attached to this is preposterous. Also, playing in both tournaments at the same time is exhausting - there is no way this is going to work. | ||
