I thought the WHOLE point of GSL compared to other tournaments is that players had a gazillion weeks to prepare for their next match-ups. And now they're going to play RO8 through the grand final the same day ? Game quality is going to suffer a bit from this.

Probably the worst idea IPL has had, and thats saying something. Why on earth would you compress 3 weeks of GSL into 2 days.

On the plus side, maybe well have a good finals for a change.

I don't like it much. The preparation aspect is gone.

Let's just hope that there aren't half-hour breaks in between games this time.

I don't like this, I'm pretty sick of every weekend there being these massive tournaments where players play 20 games a day, I like the traditional preparation and hype of GSL, this will put a big dampener on it for me

Way to devalue a GSL title, players need time to prepare.

Cannot wait!

IPL4 was great IMHO, we had Mr. Chae and the awesome GOM production staff on site. With the amount of high level players present it should be something special again.

Oh, and don´t forget the Lani stream. Beast Crew! And all that swag.

LOL!

Well, let's hope you're not the one deciding. Those are two good players, but not in the top 5 of best foreigners.

MaNa, SaSe, and VortiX are clearly better choices.

Not sure what to think about the GSL thing... I feel like ppl may be overreacting a bit with the "joke tournament" "this is not GSL" etc. and I'm sure it will be a treat to watch, but it's still kind of a weird decision. Why not just the finals, like for MMA/Mvp?

Although GSL 4 code S will be devalued by removing the preparation aspect, It makes sense they have to do this to fit in thier remaining GSL's + Blizzard Cup.
What disturbs me more is how MLG+Kespa and IPL+Gom are getting into an arms race over who can deliver more korean content in one torunament so they are trying to stuff in too much in 1 weekend, eventually it'll just backfire too hard and e-sports as a whole will suffer, we need to all work together for the future of esports, particularly in korea where LoL is becoming more of an esport than SC2.
Also, for WC, F: Naniwa, Thorzain, Ret, Stephano, SaSe

Please don't do this more often GSL, the best thing about the tournament is the time for preparation the players can put into it. Plus the huge buildup until the finals.
Sure, it might sound epic, but we have enough weekend tournaments and GSL shouldn't be one of them.

I dont like this thing either......because IPLs production is horrible......they started off big pumped alot of money into sc2 produciton even though they had a massive internet problem at first event.....the last couple of events looked worse each time production wise.....seems like they dont really want to pump more cash into production....last event looked like a Wedding video from the 90s with sound issues.......and they didnt even had booths or lightning.....

BUT if gomtv takes over production completely....then im fine with it as long as they pick a venue with good Internet connection
Im just a zerg
