Horrible decision.

The World Championship is fine, don't bring GSL there...

I have no problem if the GSL finals was held at the IPL, but the whole Ro8 and on is just ridiculous and incredibly unnecessary. There's a reason why the GSL is held the way it is and that it results in high level gameplay almost all the time. Take it away and you have yourself just another tournament with a lot of prize money. Not to mention the fact that it's going to be a competition on which tournament gets more attention. Absolutely terrible.

I reaaaally don't like that they're condensing the GSL like that. It's like it's not even GSL any more.

nth-ing that this is a pretty bad decision for GOM and GSL. The GSL is one-of-a-kind and I hope it doesn't become a weekend event. Having the tension and excitement build up over a week, as well as player preparation, is quintessential to what the GSL means to me.

This means that MVP wont win =( whos idea was to bring the Ro8? the most they will get is a day's time to prepare thats not enough.... Thats the whole point of the GSL the strategies that players come up with to play against one person, not hey lets just put this all into one weekend.

People should stop thinking only about that, and thing more about the bigger issue here that there is 10 players right now who is either in Code S or can get in Code S that are also qualified for IPL 5, forcing them to drop a tournament or play in both.

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?

The thing is, we love both, because they are different kind of tournament; we're complaining because GSL is taking away that difference that made them unique.

There are people that love watching UFC and WWE, because they different kind of entertainment; and this is like UFC switching to the drama-centric story driven fighting, it's stupid.

I don't care as much about that, more the fact that this potentially forces 8 out of 10 out of 32 players to play 2 tournaments.

I whole-heartedly disagree with this. 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.


Nestea and MVP will be fine

Naniwa on the other hand would crash and burn in such circumstances



naniwa actually has sum of the sickest winstreaks at all kinds of tournaments vs koreans

Either they wont play IPL5 or they will just play both. Honestly playing the GSL games wont be time consuming at all.

I hope they change the Ro8 thing. It'll mean I'll either miss the GSL finals or the IPL finals due to the UK timings compared to the states :/

I think it's great as a one-off thing. I wouldn't want this every time, but I like switching it up. Bring it on.

I'm not sure why everyone's overreacting like this. These are pros, they're adaptable, it's not like they're gonna fall apart just cause they have to play matches closer than usual, they'll be fine.

Yeah they'll have less preparation time but I don't think it's such a big deal, they will "prepare to having less preparation"
