I don't agree with this. If players want to be in it to win the big tournaments - not just GSL - I think they need to make some sacrifices, within reason. TeamLiquid is a driving force behind the eSports movement, and the TSL has a respectable prize pool - which is now being increased as a result of the players not attending the finals.

If players aren't commited to making the flight for the finals, there are plenty of other worthy players who were left out of the tournament.

Oh well.

Valid point, actually. I hadn't thought about it that way. I don't think any punishment should be doled out to Creator and Life, but perhaps for the future there should be clear requirements and potential consequences for those who know they may not be able to fulfill their commitments (e.g. because they're minors).

Good idea, too. If the games can't be live, that doesn't mean there can't be ANY live component with audience for these TSL4 grand finals.

Seems like the right decision, but what will TL do to make sure there isn't any "assisting" going on during these games from their teammates and/or coaches? A lot of money is on the line, and I'm sure they would do all they could to "help" while watching the games right behind the player.

We considered this but but the 3rd/4th place match is cast before the finals, making the start time for the Finals at like 4-5 AM Korean time. While we agree that live is way better, the game quality potentially could be quite bad if we play it then.

unfortunately I'm somewhat disappointed in TSL4 so far, maybe it's due to namely players have gotten knocked out early on and the somehow "un-unique" atmosphere :/
this, although it's probably the right decision to make to meet the players' (and their respective teams') interests as best as possible to guarantee great games, just contributes to my personal impression that TSL4 cannot compete with the sheer awesome-ness of TSL3

It is what happen when you make a tournament with qualifier only and online matches. You get top online players but not well rounded, used to travel and experienced players. If you make online qualifier only you should stick to the online tournament format.
I hope TSL 5 will be good.

Good considerate decision. Would be nice if it could be organised with GOM or to do it in their studio or something like that.

This sucks and I hope TL will make sure this wont happen in tsl5. This is so anticlimatic... If players agree to participate, they should deal with all the consequences. The winner gets a ridiculous amount of money, the least the fans and the organizers can expect, is contract fullfilment. That even the finals will be played online, kills almost all my anticipation.

Why not do it live in the 'Liquid'-house in Seoul? Hardly any travel time for the players, and a great excuse to send Hot_Bid to Korea!

Hmpf, good bye TSL >.>... Is there no possibility to do it live from Korea?... No offense but I think there is no better place in the world where two guys can play a live-streamed match
