I really hate to say this but I don't like the move GOM made here. Unless GOM is 100% doing their own thing in (Cosmopolitan was it?) I don't see this turning out good at all unfortunately. And even then this will never reach the production value of code S finals in Korea. I just don't see them pulling decent enough audience in Vegas to give the true feeling of eSports where the crowd is roaring and cheering.

Wish they would've partnered up with dreamhack for example. Code S finals in Dreamarena <3! OR..
Take Iron Squid event for example, smaller organisation, not the same budget as bigger organisations BUT kickass venue, decent production and you can count on the French to be ROARING in excitement.

Just my 2ct.

MMA's Blizzard Cup title has the same mark, and it is unfortunate that something so significant can be tarred(at least, in my eyes it is) by something so easily just not done. It also will not quite have that unique feeling that comes with Korean Starcraft. It just will not feel right. It did not feel quite right when they hosted the GSTL at IPL, and that was just the finals, compared to what they have said they'll do here.



I don't think MMA's Blizzard Cup's title was tarred at all at least not by anyone who speaks of it. If anything MMA beat the best of the best to become the year end's best player. Not to mention playing the BEST game of 2011 in that epic Game 7. GOM gave him a GSL pin and rightfully so.


Yeah. Notice the difference in name though, it was a special event. It wasn't the core GSL experience. This tampers with the core of what GSL is supposed to be. A preparation tournament, in the tradition of the BW starleagues. That's why people care so much. It takes away variety and is generally unfair to players who may or may not be playing IPL as well. Is it that hard to see why that is bad?
Use the force.

They should do the finals in Korea.

I really do not see the point of this at all.

They'll still have a day to prepare for the matches. I think that this is mainly a challenge for the coaches. Plus putting this enormous pressure on the players may also result in some suspenseful matches.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

Foreigners will probably include include Thorazain Naniwa and Stephano. If they go by gsl points then the koreans will be DRG, Seed, MVP, MC and Genius.

I love the idea of the foreigners vs koreans team showmatch. I think it will be fun.

As for having a highly compressed GSL... I dunno. Maybe it will squeeze highly compressed skill out of the players. Maybe not. It's going to be very different from what we're used to of GSL, and I'm sceptical, but it will be interesting to see how it turns out in the end.
I'm more worried about the production value considering how utterly terrible the production of the IPL TAC finals was yesterday night. On the other hand, they have shown that they know better, and can do better, so hopefully they won't let us down. ^^

Didnt see it in OP and not the comments I browsed, but is it known if there will be any kind of free HQ stream? Or will we have to suffer through the GSL freestream quality? (Or pay up obv)

It shouldn't be called a 'GSL Code S' atleast if they're going to do this. Give it another name as saying someone won a 'GSL Code S' with this extremely different format is really strange as it's not following the same format as other seasons. Then the winner won't be criticized (or criticized as much atleast) for claiming they won a Code S season when this season is clearly different from the other seasons which the other champions have won.

Like how MMA has won a Code S season and Blizzard Cup. He's acknowledged as having won 2 GSLs but not as having won 2 Code S seasons.

Sounds cool!

Don't worry guys, if you don't like this format, I'm sure there will be more GSL in the future. Just maybe.
Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

Not a fan of this. Kinda ruins the point of code s, the preperation. Also it's going to be in the middle of the night for europeans.
Tbh I don't think fans will consider this tournament a real GSL..
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
