HOWEVER: If you all miss it so much, come support the Gold Series Team Championship by watching the stream, sharing and commenting on our coverage, and participating in the LR thread. It's not Proleague, but it's the closest to it we have going on, and who knows where it might lead if it continues to grow.   | ||

I think I miss proleague, and MLG the most. MLG opens were a blast, and the EGTL alliance in proleague was some of the best Starcraft. | ||

Life and Taeja's game were great to watch too, I really miss seeing these two players on top. I miss the moments where hard working korean players like sacsri or Curious won a major tournament like a dreamhack. And I miss the time when I wasn't the only one among my friends/relatives that played or at least still followed the scene ! Other than that, I don't miss PL as much, in wc3 I love team match but I find it lame in sc2 maybe because the 2v2 is bad and the archon mod is wasted by the community (despite the facts the games are insanely goods and the pro love doing it). Same for the wol games, damn, most of them look so scrappy, once you're used to lotv, I have no idea how you can turning back. And the old meta... MMMM vs lingbane/muta was good but the current zvt is as good if not even better while we don't have mass sh with constant locust, pdd/autoturrets with 180 sec duration (or even more, I don't remember precisely the numbers around this madness), tempest at 4pop with 15 range ground/air and insane damage against massive. I am glad those times are gone even if 2019 wasn't that great either in this regard. + the gamble stuff with so much bo wins. Finally, it was quite obvious at the time that 90% of the casters hadn't any experience with high level sc2, damn that was bad. Fortunately, guys like tod, rotti, incontrol managed to get through. | ||

Nowadays everything is so knife edge that if you have 2 marines instead of 3 and a stalker pokes your natural the game is already over. I miss the old days where you had more freedom to use different play styles - not forced to play in a specific way just to survive. | ||

We lost nearly every cheese and the ''macro cheeses'' too. To be fair, there are definitely new strategies and cheeses -- I just saw Inno pull out a drilling-claw WM drop rush against Zest, which I've never seen before, and Scarlett and sOs definitely showed cheese isn't dead in the GSL this season. But yeah, I miss town hall first/the old 2-rax. Also, an in-base proxy 2-gate led to this interaction from Idra, who was very entertaining and marketed himself better than any SC player in western history when you consider his popularity against his results: Idra: What do you get out of this? Opponent: A win Idra: A horse could do this build and get a win some of the time Opponent: Not a dumb horse Idra: Yes a dumb horse To this day, I think about the phrase "Yes a dumb horse" and will randomly crack up. | ||
