We are SMASHING records. to be fair, its probably due to the fact that it is featured on Twitch's front page

Hello everyone! Guys, can you explain me few things please. I totally do not understand your community. Why TLS is SO OMG POPULAR? Why it is more popular then ISL? What is the REAL reason? Prize pool is lower, organization is rather strange ( for example a day before yesterday ppl had to choose between TLS and NW ). What is the reason? I guess one reason is that this tour is organized by admins of tl? But what this gives to this event? Why tons of bad players or even sc2 players come to play this event, and they NEVER come to play ISL or gambit cup or any event, which was organized previously on tl.net by not admins.
This is not a kind of any trolling, we (me and my russian friends) just cant understand your community.
And the last and most important reason, how you managed to get Sayle to this?
Thank you.

Thank you. I'd say its a combination of a low barrier to entry, good promotion, fantastic production and the teamliquid effect that have helped with such a great opening weekend.

The overall hype connected to the event is much bigger, mainly due to the fact that it's on the twitch.tv and tl frontpage. Also the production rocks. Did I mention the hype? Overall i think it's a really good thing for foreign bw to see this work out so well. I'm really hoping on the "flagship effect" which will (hopefully) attract more people to other BW events like the next ISL (wehenever this will take place).

dRaW needs to make it to the semis of every qualifier and lose so that he can keep playing in them.
Also, I'm glad iNfernaL is in such great shape again. Another protoss hero!

yea it's all about the TL frontpage hype.
what's interesting is whether this is gonna have a snowball effect and contribute to increasing viewer numbers for all the other ongoing bw tournaments - so many people got to see how amazingly cool bw can be, maybe they'll keep watching.

I'm absolutely loving this. Great casters, and so fun to see Brood War.
