Man, I really don't think the format will be fitting. As others have pointed out, playing several rounds of GSL in one weekend is... well, it's not GSL-like at all.

This is one of the worst decisions that have been made for the rise of Starcraft 2. Having the round of 8 of GSL to the finals plus the IPL5 tournament plus this World Championship event. There is going to be no preparation and the GSL is not going to be worth any more than other international tournaments.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and see how it plays out. Who knows? We might actually get an epic GSL finals instead of a 1-sided finals. I think a lot of the one sided finals events are just because one player is so much better at preparing than the other.

Terrible idea. So much less time for players to prepare for their matches and now GSL finals won't have that special feeling. I don't like this at all.

in all honesty, i don't think it matter because no one can stop taeja these days, and for the foreinger team , Naniwa, stephano, nerchio, thorzain and maybe huk, but hes been performing horribly so the 5th player is up to really anyone

Oh god no...
After I pay to have a laggy and broken sound stream I am sure as hell am not going to support this. If they managed to fuck up just two teams playing then good luck with actually trying to get these games done within 3 weeks.

WTF, this is awesome. Any GSL being played on the foreign scene is awesome. People are complaining about the lack of preparation time, yet MLGs are always huge events that everyone loves?

theres a reason why GSL is the hardest tournament, and it has to do with the preparation

Preparation time is the thing that elevates the GSL above a one weekend LAN. Take it away and its just another cup.

The problem isn't with MLG-style tournaments, it's because having a GSL at IPL5 goes against the whole format of GSL, which is supposed to be the preparation tournaments.

I agree with a lot of the comments here; taking away the chance each player has to prepare for their next opponent will cause the tournament to favor players that usually aren't thought could win a gsl. It could also mean as a result, lower quality of skill performed in the games. I'd much prefer if it was only the GSL finals, rather than the entire Ro8 onwards. Or, at the very least, Ro4 onwards, if thats not possible.

Not scarlett. I'd say mana or maybe maybe major.


LOL at this.

I think Ro8 to the finals is too much. I could see inviting the Ro8 Players out as seeded players into the Tourney and playing the GSL R8 on Friday as an intro to IPL5. Playing half the season in three days to to much. At most Ro4 would work for that.

My biggest concern about this awful idea is not the preperation time, but that players might have to play 2 tournaments, currently the people who this could be a problem for are -

Liquid'HerO
Liquid'TaeJa
CreatorPrime
ByunPrime
MarineKingPrime
QuanticTheStC
BboongBboongPrime
viOLet
TSL_Polt
Fnatic_aLive

All of these players are either currently in Code S or has the chance to get into Code S via the Up N' Down matches, this is 10 players, and I would say there is a very high chance that atleast 3-4 of them will make it to the Ro8, now this would for those players to either play in two tournaments or cancel one.

Honestly I'm extremely disappointed by how this was organized, did no one at GomTV check their player list?
