Small list of players is due to lack of people to organize a tour. No effort is put into this tournament. You have to do things which are interesting for community. Beside one change of the maps, nothing has happened. I have no idea why there never was a TL topic that help with organization is necessary.
just too many good players. i will skip some tours and join when i get straight in the final in ro1 btw great casts... when sayle droped from casting noone wants or is allowed to cast the tours, not even the last players. what does the sponsor think about this?

What are they doing differently?
more friendly day/time and more easier platform for russians(defiler.ru) double elimination tourney,live cast)
Agree with the day/time. Then, many russian players don't actually visit TL often, and that's true the polish and other sub communities too, i think. Would be interesting for me if somebody from Poland could verify that. I think, having a short, on point Tournament announcement on defiler and netwars would help to promote the tour. From my little experience in these matters, cross promotion is key today, so i would post a news/Thread on basically any relevant site, like: Defiler , netwars, reddit, reps.ru, iccup and some other sites im not thinking off atm. Starting with the cast right when the tour begins, is also a nice thing to do. Then again it allows no selection.
The possibility for double elim would certainly benefit the tour, but i personally don't think it's the most important factor.
