EPTDoes anyone think that korea still has the best REGION for talent? With all the biggest names going to EU and NA what is left in korea sure is lack lustered! That is what happens when you HAD the best players but now only have what is left!

(They are sincerely sorry for their existence  )In all seriousness, though, shame some of the other high-caliber players aren't participating. Never seems to be enough time in the world... | ||

Plus, with players like NightEnD, Kas and FireCake in one tournament and Maru, Zest and soO in the other, it's just a no-brainer for them. Edit: That's not to say the foreign players I mentioned are trash, just that on paper they are outlcassed by the three exemplary Koreans. | ||

Yeah but, the players in question are Korean, surely they would of prefered to go home to there families for a week instead of to Romania.....no offense to Romanian's but it isn't Korea for example. The 2 day tourney vs 7 day is pointless as most of the tournament is Online until the Round of 8 i guess i don't know but its 2days group (not for MC/Hyun) | ||

When they announced that the GOM subscription was going to be paying for the prize pool, I felt bad for them. Would have been margionally better if the twitch subscriptions counted towards it or something (obviously that wouldnt happen as twitch would take a lot of that sub money) It was just a very poorly handled idea overall which could have become something really special. They could have gone with something like "whatever our highest peak-viewership is, at any point during the whole year of GSL, is what we will set as the total prizepool distribution" So then they may have got a 50k+ prize pool for one big tournament at the end of the year featuring a more 'proven' group of elite players. (not that the list isnt proven, but you'd have a more consistent lineup after multiple sets of WCS seasons) | ||

They are already not playing WCS Korea. Why would they play some ragtag all Korean midseason tournament that is even less prestigeous but similarily difficult to win when it's colliding with another event. | ||

I guess there's quite a few people like this, I'm the same. Just so many things wrong that I'm not willing to give a second chance, even though I've been subbing for years now with GOM. | ||

Anyways go Revival I guess? | ||

If they continue to use Twitch then it's simply not fixable, Twitchs vods are terrible both in terms of performance and organization. | ||
