Just FYI - Victoria is on Vancouver Island, and no hockey games were held there.
The ferry ride from Vancouver to Victoria is approximately just longer than an hour and a half.

Now you got my hyped up for upcoming TSL ^^
Also, one thing I disliked about this TSL (And the only thing) that, what was the point of having both finalists to travel to TL Headquarters and not to video them during stream? Finals weren't different at all from rest of tournament, just POV from casters. Kind of useless traveling for players

Right I exagerated by a half hour, sue me. And it didn't matter that no hockey games were held there, the place still went balistic when we won. I was hanging out of a tree downtown highfiving police officers. True story.
But thank you to those who enjoyed my post

The more the game's "figured out" the less likely it is people will win by catching people off guard with cheese instead of strictly outplaying them. It'll still happen sometimes (Nony vs Idra being the prime example) and I'm not saying it shouldn't, but TSL2 was probably the highest skill level we saw in a foreigner BW tournament and I'd like TSL4 to be that for WoL.
I´d like the timing to be at least somewhat differrent. TSL2 was SOOO awesome, then the Beta came around after the semis and suddenly the Finals werent as big as they could have been

Cant wait for TSL 4!
And vancouver bc pride bro! :D

If TSL starts any soon (like this summer), it will inevitably lose viewers. There are just too many tournaments going on all the time and if you have 2-3 TSL a year, it will just not feel special anymore. Personally I really like the idea of having TSL after HotS release.

TSL4 will be awesome, the will be more players who will be at their peak by then as well as all the different scenes such as china, korea, europe and america!!! Wonder where we will be in a yeras time. Probably China=Korea>Europe>America!!!

Nice that is awesome, the place I was at went crazy too! No cops though. =P
and sorry about correcting you, just thought you legitimately didn't know and would want the facts.

I would like TSL3 to be on the WoL field, before the launch of HotS. New HotS units have high chances of being imbalanced (too strong/weak+people still getting used to integrating them into their builds and using proper counters). TSL 5 can be played ~a month after HotS launch.

No worries, Canadian pride represent!
But yeah, whenever TSL 4 happens it'll be SICK.

I disagree. I think 2-3 times a year would be absolutely perfect. It would be like the MSL/OSL of bw, lasts 2-3 months but only like 2-3 a year. I am praying thats what TSL does ^_^

point 3 and 4 conflict each other real hard.
new units in HoTS are more likely to unbalance the game more than anything else.
|
Yup TSL3 was amazing.
I think what made it amazing was the players had time to prepare (if they chose to). This allowed players to try and figure each other out and we end up with amazing diversity of play in a single series. The finals are testiment to this.
The same should be said for the tournament. Thus TSL, once a year for me plz ;-)
|
points 3 and 4 contradict eachother, lol. when hots comes out, balance will be reset and zerg will likely be op
|
My heart cant handle so much awesome so soon! This thread made my impatient side even worse.
|
Great write up but points 4 and 5 kind of contradict each other.

Man, I'm still so proud of Thorzain for beating NesTea AND MC. I mean, he just had a crazy road to victory.
Awesome post though. And a lot of people are saying that they should wait between TSLs otherwise it gets boring or stale, but I'd like to point out that the qualifiers and actual tournament take a long time to commence which makes the suspense EPIC and means you could start one every few months and still only have 2 a year, 3 at absolute max.
