I used to watch it on YouTube via my Firestick on my TV, but ever since the GSL made the screen smaller on YouTube, I haven’t watched it live as much I believe they fixed the tiny YT screen! | ||

Also wish it was ro24 group --> ro16 (top 4 from last season). With TY, Innovation, Classic and many more players returing - and the possiblity for newer players to break through, its such a waste to have it only be ro16 group stage. I feel like this change could do that more Koreans will continue to play and not retire. | ||

With the prize boost I’d feel there’s room to switch back, hopefully At present there’s still too many Code S calibre players for spots, someone’s always missing out and it feels it’s cut a little too deeply | ||

Good players getting eliminated in code A / qualis always happened and that's part of what makes GSL hard (e.g Stats being absent from code S in 2016 while getting 2nd place in SSL) | ||

Good players getting eliminated in code A / qualis always happened and that's part of what makes GSL hard (e.g Stats being absent from code S in 2016 while getting 2nd place in SSL) 16 feels too thin, I’m not a huge fan of group-group-Ro4 as a format either. With the prize pool cut I thought it was a reasonable change but there’s been a fair bit of boosting since. Like it feels we lose something with that extra Ro8 gone in terms of seeing good prep Starcraft. A few good Bo3s in the group format and a player is a Ro4 player, when maybe the truncated format enables more volatility and they perhaps couldn’t run a longer gauntlet Korean SC2 has also seen better days to put it mildly so, having those few extra spots gives at least some potential inroads to the more fringe players. I don’t think it’s deep enough to go anywhere near back to 32 or anything like that these days | ||
