Yes, this standard is lower than the international one, as there is no unified league like GSL that provides a standard for us to draw a line. Therefore, there will be foreigner players who are featured who skillwise are objectively worse than Heart. However, pure skill is not the only factor we take into consideration when featuring streams. Destiny is a good example of this. Many of you may ask, what about Dragon? Why is he featured? Well, he was featured before we had these standards, and now has a huge following and we don't really feel it would be fair to defeature him at this point, so we keep him. I suppose he lucked out in that way. I also do not appreciate the insulting PMs / emails about this issue, they are not really helping. The instant Heart makes code A or plays a bunch more games in GSTL then we will feature him very quickly. | ||

You can argue the bar should be lower, but its very difficult to judge between Korean players and this will certainly be an issue that comes up more than just this time.

I think it should be more transparent in the whole process coz TL is actually a portal for starcraft II, which means streams attract viewers/popularity once they are featured, not vice versa. Destiny is a very good example of this  One thing that I think TL overlook is that once a player is in Code A/S, he might actually stream less coz GSL match is kind of a close fight and you dont want to show your habit to your opponent when preparing the matches. We see Huk stream much less once he become the ace of ogs. We also see that SeleCT/Byun... stream fewer and fewer each time they advance in GSL. GSL match is very brutal and you can only have one chance so ppl are trying so hard to cover themselves. So the whole thing to feature a GSL code A/S player may actually become meaningless in the end: Code A-> featured -> mass viewer -> stop streaming. | ||

No Code S Korean players stream really, all the ex Zenex players stopped and barely any Code A/S players will stream because they don't want to give away their strats. I think all Korean players should be encouraged to stream here, and I know Heart gets down when he sees how low the viewer count is, so these super strict rules, which don't seem to apply to foreign streamers, might discourage people like Heart from streaming at all which would be a shame. | ||

It makes absolutely no sense to me that a Korean streamer has a much tougher set of rules to meet than a foreign player, if anything, Koreans should be encouraged to stream here since not that many do.

I think the Code A only rule is stupid as they don´t really stream anymore when they are code A, but TLs site TLs rule. I just wish they were more transparent with the rules. I'm quite disappointed | ||

The instant Heart makes code A or plays a bunch more games in GSTL then we will feature him very quickly. In the earlier quote from Plexa, popularity was specified as a criteria for featuring. In my time watching TSL-Heart's stream, I've seen him get up to ~100 viewers (someone else on stream chat said he's peaked around 150) which is as much as I see on some featured SC2 streams. So, I'm wondering, how popular is popular? On October 19 2011 13:07 TSL_Porori wrote: Heart understand TL's message. Qualifying code A is next week.

The options are defeature Dragon or keep him, obviously keeping is a better option so we keep him. Seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do, if we were really hardline we'd just defeature Dragon. I don't see how we're sticking to flawed standards, we're just grandfathering in someone who was featured under wrong standards earlier. It's actually the opposite of what you say here. | ||

Just keep streaming more and more ppl will realize his skill and attitude and support him. | ||

You clearly didn't read any posts in this thread because it's obvious that you're not only completely oblivious to your own "criteria", but also to the demands of the users on this forum. "Our policy for korean stream is they must satisfy one of the following requirements: - Code A - Significant playtime in GSTL - Popular stream At the moment heart satisfies none of these requirements so unfortunately I cannot feature him." The last few times he has streamed, the viewer count was up to 150. That's more than a handful of currently featured streamers. Apparently the whole "popular" thing is crap too. Let's not get started on the skill difference and the quality of the content being displayed either. And despite the obvious cries from the community to feature this guy as well as the "insulting PMs / emails" that you are receiving, you still refuse to feature him. Why is this so hard to get through your head? He's a successful Korean pro gamer who is highly ranked on the KR GM ladder. It's not uncommon for him to be playing against other great players on the ladder that also happen to be fan favorites (ie MKP.) In return, it's a treat for the viewers and the community. Based on your actions, it's obvious you could care less about that but please do refrain from letting your own personal struggles get in the way of other people's enjoyment. There's very few professional Korean streamers as it is and you decided to turn down a player that's trying his very hardest to be featured. And as of now, he's decided to stop streaming so no one has benefited from it in the end. Brilliant, to say the least. Once again, GL in your decision making goals in 2012.

I don't think your super strict rules for Korean players are helping, either. So few Koreans stream anyway, and the ones in Code A and above don't stream because they don't want to give away their strategies. All this will do is turn away excellent players like Heart (there is no better terran streamer on this site). It just makes no sense that any random semi-pro foreigner with no achievements or popularity can get featured, yet a super skilled Korean GM, on a top team, who plays in GSTL, can not. I guess TL really doesn't want to bring the Korean and TL communities closer together. | ||
