Man I sometimes forget how young some SC2 programers are. It's quite amazing the opportunities that open up just because of gaming. Anyways you did what any responsible tournament host should do, take care of your players. Forcing players into uncomfortable positions is not what any tournament should do, although it happens more often than naught unfortunately. I'd much rather see them at their best, even if it is from replays, than to see them play sub-par because they were required to fly out to places.

This makes sense. Right move, imho.

Hope it doesn't negatively affect the viewer/stream numbers.

Feel sort of bad for the reception this TSL has gotten compared to the others.

Makes total sense. Wish it could be live, but good on TL for respecting the fact that the players have other tournaments they need to play in.

You could instead fly 2 casters over to Korea and live cast it from there. If you talk to GOM, you could even use the GOM house or studio.

Bummer. Non-live stinks but it is what it is.

Good job TL for making the right decision; all the concerns were completely legitimate and should be honored

My favorite part about TSL is that the integrity of the competition, and the amount of respect other teams get, comes before everything else. Respect to TL :D

It's the only right decision. TSL4 is a big failure so they can't spend 4k$ on flight tickets.

Yeah the invite system from TSL 3 created some entertaining matchups, even if not the highest level.

They should have just done the same thing but with some Kespa invites too haha.

Some Bisu vs. Idra or Flash vs Thorzain or stuff like that would be cool to watch.
