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"  They will play worse matches. How can that ever be a good idea? :s | ||

Korean team: Taeja, MC, Leenock/Symbol/DRG/ Squirtle/Seed/MKP The only two players who will DEFINATLY be on the Korean team are Taeja or MC Unless they go by GSL results only like last time. | ||

I agree that it's odd and it may affect the quality of the games, but it's done, and whatever, hope for the best. Most likely next season is gonna be normal. | ||

BTW anyone who doesn't realize how silly this is really does not understand anything about leagues like GSL and how they are meant to be played. | ||

There is a reason why GSL is pretty much the only tournament I follow really close and this completely takes away everything I love about it. | ||

Plus they don't play that much to begin with, it's like two bo3s and one bo7 at most for the two finalists, like I said they'll be just fine. | ||

Nah, you like the GSL because they have the best players and Tastosis, has nothing to do with the format. They'll have all that, just more exciting but shorter. | ||

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. | ||
