Scarlett? What a joke, more like Huk or Mana (or Major, or a lot of players way better than scarlett)

call scarlett a joke then suggest HuK? extreme fanboyism or just stupidity can't tell


depends what they want this team to be. If they want an all=stars of foreigners, they want Huk because he did achieve a lot even if right now he's not at the top anymore. And if they just want the best, there are 1000 european players better than Scarlett

If you want to make a point you really shouldn't be so damn hyperbolic, it just make you look more biased.

I don't understand the whole community pitch forking the GSL just because players don't have time to prepare. TO BECOME A GSL CHAMPION you have to endure any situation any time, that proves what a true champion is. I LOVE the idea of having the GSL RO8 and GSL World Championships at IPL5. Quit being whining little beaches, and actually show some love to GSL for even coming to IPL for fuck sakes.


Theatre Sports a totally legit transition for GSL season 5 then. I think Seed will be able to bonjwa that season.

Anyway, we're whining like "little beaches" (aha what) because IPL already runs this sort of tournament thing where people play a tonne of games in a short period. On the same weekend right?

Basically I see it that they'll fly 8 GSL players out and all 8 of them will say "Well there goes IPL5, I'll just do GSL" OR someone is actually going to go insane. It's not only too many games, but not in the form of their typical games. Imagine MLG held a championship without an open bracket. Or NASL stopped doing pool play. Most premier tournaments have a unique aspect, and I like the timing between GSL.

I'm happy to see GSL coming to IPL. Just not all the matches. I'd rather see, for example, Seed play GSL, WC AND IPL5, but he would be insane to do all that in the current context. Unless I'm totally missing how their schedule is going to work?

This kind of thing really shouldn't be screwed with. A lot of Koreans make or break in the process which is GSL. If this happens ONE time, it's still bullshit, but whatever. If you really decide to change to this format on a regular basis, you really take away the only thing that makes your tournament truly stand out, and that is the integrity of the format. Sure you have great production, but eventually people can catch up in that, we already have Koreans traveling, so that's not exclusive either. If you dumb down your format, you will loose the reason why this is the most prestigious tournament in the world... Don't do this ever again.

as long as they let GOM do all the production, im fine with this... after the SH** they pulled yesterday at the IPL TAC finals i lost all confidence in them.. it was really pathetic (and ppl payed for that^^ - i dont think anyone will get there money back which they should)

This is not GSL

This is just the ordinary foreign tournament , kinda destroy the "I PLAN ALL THIS SHIZZ FOR FEW DAMN DAYS" part of GSL.

At least let GOM do all the production and stuff , if not , i'll quit watching this season's GSL

So two weeks of GSL in 1 weekend? Doesn't that negate the whole 'planning for your opponent' aspect of GSL?


This. What are they thinking. One of the aspects I love the most about gsl is the fact that the play players have had time to prepare awesome strats for that specific opponent.

There are enough tournaments that cram everything in a single weekend, please keep the GSL preparation-based!!! Maybe just do the Ro8 matches on the IPL weekend if that makes it easier for the players attending, but no more please.

I don't mind particularly much that they want to put a new spin on one GSL season. It's not like this is going to become a regular occurrence (it can't be!). So while I don't like the idea, I'm still going to enjoy the novelty of it, as it's certainly going to be one of the most unique takes on a GSL finals yet.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

VortiX, like really ?... Thorzain instead him and it's quite a lineup. And Seed has to be in Korean lineup, he's code S champion.

agreed with most of the complaints here. This totally ruins the spaced out format of GSL and gives absolutely no time for preparation . The quality of games will inevitably suffer

Such a bad idea. GSL is supposed to be top tier entertainment where the players have prepared well, instead of doing the whole gauntlet thing.

Bad, bad & BAD.
