I could be remembering wrong. At that time we didn't have streaming websites - TL hosted the mms streams directly themselves. I would also like to note that our daily traffic at TL.net has increased by 5-6 times since the release of SC2, so you can count on the numbers being much much higher for TSL3. Those numbers for a 10 year old game with none of the Korean stars was actually quite amazing. Back in StarCraft1 for TSL 1 and 2, we were the biggest game in town outside of Korea. This is an additional reason why we invite foreigners from the "korean server" - because traditionally we never let the Koreans into the main tournament (although they could ladder if they wanted) because Koreans had so many opportunities to participate in events while this was the sole chance for the guys outside Korea. This policy has changed since because now everybody has opportunities everywhere. The fact that there are so many other tournaments outside of Korea now besides the TSL is just a testament to how far the scene has come. But you can count on it that the TSL will continue to deliver and continue to be one of the most prestigious titles to hold in the international scene. =D | ||

Also with all the maps discussion going on now days what maps are you guys using for TSL? are you gonna use any of the GSL maps? or are you gonna stay on ladder maps? or possibly any of the new ladder maps? | ||

Loves the invites, but I'm just stating my opinion Haypro one seems a bit weak I mean yes he is on the teamliquid team but it just doesn't feel the same. Nestea is the best zerg at the moment. Idra is pretty much the second best zerg. Ret showed strong performance in all tourney recently taking first in a Europe one. What did Haypro accomplish? I think it was round 64 in GSL 3 and a few teamleague wins.... Julyzerg(aka god of freaken war) or oGSzenio or Kyrix(ie the person who popularized mid game baneling bust) would have been much more epic. Even Moonglade who recently took down loner in I think it was Asian IEM final seems much more impressive. But yea, Invites to a prestigious tourny should be epic. It defines the tourny. When people see the list of invites, they should be wow'ed. They should be the best players or most influential players without the chance to qualify and I think haypro is just not there yet. Like my friend watches SC2 competitively(he watches most GSL) but not a die hard fan like me. When he saw the list, he was like "epic idra", "the guy who has beast macro ret", "holy @#$ 2 GSL winners", and who? Some people say "he fell only to bitbybitprime's all-in" but the we all saw how FD shut down bit's all in. my guess for terran invites: IMmvp-best player in the world liquidJinro-foreign's greatest white hope bringing the macro to TvP and TvZ Boxer-a tourey like this is great but what would make it epic? The emperor Nada-what is better than having the emperor? Having the emperor with the most successful progamer of all time MKP-most consistent terran. honorable mentions: rainbow- Im not 100% sure but he is consistent. loner-well I like this guy so please? | ||

Mvp, nada and boxer would probably make the most perfect and epic event ever O.o By the way, is it going to be a LAN format, or are the koreans gonna play from korea with the lag? | ||

first. stop haypro bashing. haypro is the man. and guess what? TL didnt invite all thier own players. TLO anyone? doesnt it seem like maybe server connection drove invites? as in they couldnt play in NA/Euro events, so lets give them a shot? i mean im super hyped about the top of the korean scene playing in this TSL, but being a fan of foreigner players(and a liquid fan), i really want to see the liquid players that are in korea, and havent had the opportunity to really play in events outside of korea. im pretty sure that if haypro, huk and ret were in NA/EU they would have had to qualify just like TLO did (tyler didnt have to cause hes ballin and won the whole thing last time) | ||

I think, Fruitdealer's win of the first GSL is still the most impressive feat in SC2 pro gaming yet. He did not just crush the opponents. He outclassed them. He turned a perceived disadvantage into the key of securing the win. His mutas were everywhere right in time, like he had a maphack. In GSL1 he showed us that skill is more important than balance. His achievement prevented many zerg players from abandoning their race. | ||

If TLO and Tyler weren't on NA/EU servers and didn't qualify otherwise -- and if they were in Korea like their teammates -- I'm sure they'd get a free pass into the tournament as well. That being said, I'm past my initial HayprO-hate. It's their tournament and they can do whatever they want and... there's nothing really wrong with that. | ||
