I wonder to what extent the format influences things. The GSL Super Tournaments was relatively similar in format to WCS, and at the time they were pretty interesting, but in hindsight it didn't leave too much of an impression.

I think the human brain is just fickle, and even if it should know something rationally (Koreans are generally better than foreigners at StarCraft), you find a way to dismiss it emotionally after you don't see it happen for a while.



Someone find me a cognitive science paper that confirms this theory I pulled out of my ass.

I don't know, I like to watch high quality games, and the storylines are the facts. I don't need you or anyone else to tell some fictional story and relate it to Oedipus Rex or Othello. Besides, I don't think it's exciting that a low quality player can make a run in an event that has only one of the best players in the world attending (unless they beat that player), but that isn't exciting really, it's just one match of interest.



Tell me which round of 8 onwards match wasn't hype?



GSL was action packed last year and plenty of exciting games every week. I am not a korean elitist for thinking this, nor am I a korean elitist for not wanting to watch low quality games.

agsub Profile Joined May 2012 Singapore 359 Posts #9 The "tension" in WCS is due to the inconsistency of gameplay among WCS pros (Serral being the exception). It is frustrating to watch them throw away games due to unforced errors or taking forever to close out won games.

Agree with this but the article has a point that the korean scene became stagnant. how many high stake encounters have we seen by now between Maru, TY, Dark, Inno, Classic, Stats etc.? there's little room for really exciting new storylines.



On the other hand how many high stake encounters have we seen between Serral, Neeb, Elazer, Showtime, Reynor etc.? Far less so the novelty factor is definitely higher there.

Nakajin Profile Blog Joined September 2014 Canada 6579 Posts Last Edited: 2019-02-06 03:02:41 #11 While I agree that GSL really is getting a bit stale, also because it's hard to emphasize the importance of a GSL when almost everyone has major win to there name, in the last GSL ro16 only 6 players (Reynor, Trap, Keen, Impact, Leenock, TY) had never won a premier tournament in Korea (and 3 of those had won premier outside of Korea) and 8 were already multiple time premier champion in Korea. At this point it's hard to put a lot of a lot of emphasis on the championship, I mean what would another GSL really mean to guys like Zest, Maru, INno or Stats? It would be nice for them of course but for most of them it would only be another trophy in their collection.



But on another note, I do have to wonder if the fact that the SC2 viewer base (I assume) getting older is affecting how we view WCS and GSL. Korean Starcraft is on at dismal hours for most people and as more people get full time jobs and kids it become harder to stay invested enough to stay up at midnight or get up at 5 am just to watch a round of 32 GSL group. Even myself as a student who watch way to much Starcraft I don't have the will I had to fuck up my sleep schedule just to watch the GSL. It's way easier to watch some Starcraft on the weekend or in the evening, and stay more invested in the story lines. http://i.imgur.com/9p6ufcB.jpg

2019



of course there's stagnation with the same faces, there isn't much left of the middle-class in Korea (especially among the Zergs). There aren't any promising younger players on the rise either like Reynor in WCS :/



To me, the lone hope of adding some rejuvenation to the scene and the prime story to watch in Korea for 2019 is the performance of the returning military players. MC, Dream, Fantasy, PartinG, DRG, and Taeja especially could make things a little more interesting in a couple months. I believe Curious should be due back soon as well.

GSL is still higher quality, there's still clearly a gap, but not nearly as much as it used to be. I don't know if it's more that Korea has diminished or foreigners have really stepped it up (probably both), but I think there are more players than Serral that are clearly code S level that are playing in WCS.



Scarlett, Neeb, Special, ShowTime, uThermal, and Reynor at a minimum are code S level.

It's hype but tiring to see the usual suspects all the time. Aside from Maru's domination, I think Neeb and Scarlett drew the most hype with their respective runs. There was no old soldier like ByuN/Gumiho who finally got their day in the sun, nor a new badass on the block like with Zest's 2014 royal road to really juice things up.



Don't know how you found Maru vs Zest "thrilling" though. That will go down as the worst gsl finals we've had to date. Even worse than NesTea vs Inca (at least that was funny and very memorable).

Maybe it's because I'm a long-time Maru fan, but I kind of enjoyed that finals and found it memorable. I remember everyone coming up with a case for why Zest would actually win and finding it really satisfying to see him get so totally crushed. Objectively, it wasn't a finals with a lot of tense exciting games, but it had some exciting moments. IIRC there was at least one game where it felt like Maru lost and he marched across the map with what he had left and took a somewhat surprising win.

I’m not too worried yet. I seriously doubt GSL would get a full year commissioned by Blizzard with WCS KR point breakdowns and them NOT planning the same on the Circuit.



WCS Winter is allowing more players the opportunity to kick off the year without investing a lot of time and money traveling to a predetermined venue where they could be out in 20 minutes. We are getting up close looks at players that have been underneath the radar during this. And I think that’s a good thing.



As far as the big tournaments don’t fret: IEM Katowice is coming, and I imagine we will hear about the three other Circuit stops before very long. My guess just like the GSL it’s just taking longer to get things arranged this year because of all the changes going on at Blizzard. I’m not too worried yet.

Poopi Profile Blog Joined November 2010 France 9762 Posts #20 For me WCS was really disappointing because of the lack of terrans in the upper rounds, and the lack of high level players besides 3 or 4 top europeans and Juanito (Scarlett was only hot in another tournament than WCS, Pyongchang IEM I guess)

GSL was way more enjoyable. In Starcraft 2, money is gained through consistency accross all patches, legacy is built through snowballing the good patches for tournament wins.
