Also one more thing I forgot to mention - Props to Proleague for adding the BW style countdown and team logo decals and the best of all... the EPIC MAP INTROS (the previews for both Naro Station and Korhal Floating Island were really epic... I like the theme of those maps being set on something floating and moving either in the sky or in the space).
GSL should definitely get either Korhal Floating Island or Naro Station next season (again, after seeing how the map looks and the preview, I'm now a big fan of those types of environment for maps).
If they hadn't done anything like that, it wouldn't be as exciting. Just those three simple things (map previews, BW countdown, and the team logos) makes these games feel more "unique".
I mean, it's good tournaments are doing things like this since this allows them to be more "distinct" from other tournaments (it adds more to the viewer experience when you see something either in the observer or maps that are unique to that specific tournament).
Also the BW countdown seems to be done in game actually (since the Observer text actually appeared in the middle of the map and since it goes to the game right away instead of a loading bar).
Well, it shows KeSPA (or whoever they're getting to help edit their maps) know how to take advantage of the editor features which is definitely great for Proleague (a tournament where unique maps are very encouraged due to the team league "pick a player with a specific race for a specific map" format).
