It will be. They aren't putting in much effort for this year. The live stream was GARBAGE and they used a 2012 strategy to try to get people to go to their website instead of watching on youtube.
@@michaelsander2878 Well if enough people put into the Patreon things will get better. They are doing the best they can with 20% of their normal funding. Sorry they weren't up to your standards when running at 20% power. They already fixed the mistake they made with the RUclips overlay. They can fix many more things. If people actually help. I already paid my 31.91$. Have you? If not maybe stop being so judgmental.
I personally have a lot of fun watching since 2012-13. It slowly declined and Blizzard never attempted any significant improvements or changes. Hopefully the new one from Frost Giant called Stormgate takes off.
@@asicveg No, its the other way around. Blizzard didnt try to invest into the game as they should have, and in the end they left it to die. The game is still fun to some people out there, and would be a better attraction if the developer has a good vision and commit to it. Just look at AoE2, the game has been out for 20+ years, even longer than SC2, and yet it still has an espost scene and support. Thats because the game developer CARES about making it better with constant development/patches/changes over the years. We are at the current states, in large part because Blizzard dropped the ball.
@@WinterCody Ok Robin Hood. They make money doing there job. If there's not enough profit to make it worthwhile, the players and Afreeca would stop doing it. Thanks for explaining how that works. Nobody else would know that otherwise.
@@jbthomas01 Don't be butt hurt because I exposed the truth. I've been in the entertainment industry for years. Go ahead and give out your money to people who won't even acknowledge your comment of hospitality. Tell me how it works out 🤑
@@WinterCody So your big industry inside scoop is that people get paid what there industry thinks they're worth? And that Maru won't give me a direct shout out every time I give 5 bucks for a patreon? Wow. This changes everything! These revelations can only be reveled by someone in the entertainment industry for years. Thanks hero. Now go back to your free VOD on someone else's dime. What suckers they are.
I think they didn't 'fix' anything. I expect next live streams to be as the one today - and just the videos uploaded afterwards to be fullscreen. We shall see...
Hey Afreecatv -- I know these aren't filmed live anymore, but how about broadcasting the VOD live -- so at least for those of us who can catch it live, we can all watch together :)
Nightmare fought with honor near the end of game one. All those holds, one after another, with tiny numbers of units. Really top tier. @Harstem should cast this one, it's a beautiful Protoss moment.

Yeah, Artosis, now Gyuri, it's the end of an era. I don't know how it is in Korea, but in the previous century and possibly even now in Japan, men workers were prioritized over women. Gyuri is married now and they may have decided cutting Gyuri was just one more way to cut costs (on top of only having offline matches starting with RO4, and other things they may have cut etc. etc.). Just smaller budget man, they are trying something to see if they can get it to work and if they get enough support. Totally not backed with any evidence, it's totally guessing. Except Gyuri being married, I believe that is factual.
@@helloken I don't think it had anything to do with her being married, just there's very little point in having her there as an interviewer if they're only going to play in the studio once a season. Caster Park already has plenty of experience being an interviewer on top of being a caster, so if they're downsizing so much it makes sense to just have him do both rather than retaining Gyuri as well.
Tasteless and State doing a great job. I am hoping against hope that this isn't the end :( Life without tournaments, casters and shows will be so sad...
Great casting as always, setbacks to GSL for sure but it's great to see Tasteless finding ways have fun with this new format and this new duo finding their flow
the first couple jokes about the robot voice were warranted but the more he talks about it the more i suspect tasteless is legitimately frightened by the scary robot man
i almost always avoid the comments till after im done watching a starleague vid , but this time i did happen to look at the comments before finishing the video , and i am super glad i did , because i saw lots of comments mentioning how insane the last game was , which gave me anticipation for it and MAN is that ever paying off right now i also see many comments discussing it's dying esport status thanks to blizard(activision) , such a shame , sc2 is such a great game , i don't want to see the second hardest game in the world die out
Fellow SC enjoyers, donate to keep our favorite game alive. Thank you GSL for keeping me entertained since my high school days, now I’m able to support back to the studio as an adult.
If you mean actual replay files, it seems like for this season Afreeca is giving replays as part of the donator perks. If you just mean VODs, Afreeca and ESL upload all their games to their RUclips channels.
First game made Maru realized he can't beat Byun in a straight up micro game so he exploited the latter's weak macro with his superior macro. The window mine was the beginning of Byun's demise.
I think its just the timing, BW came out at the right time as an eposrt for the KR scence and was beloved since. SC2 came out as an "adopted" child that was not loved as much and then we have the match fixing scandal that alienate people from it even more.
Cultural inertia, the popular esport stays popular and continues to attract new talent. While SC2 never overtook BW in Korea it was doing okay until the match fixing scandal totally neutered the Korean SC2 scene and many big orgs and sponsors pulled out entirely. After that is another form of inertia, potential newcomers will see the blood in the water of Korean SC2 and know that's a less secure career path, and Blizzard didn't really do much to dissuade that either.
honestly that last game is just medivac abuse on prime exhibit. Poor DRG had no business being dragged through the mud by a 2 base all in terran that got cold feet even when he saw the panic spine.
Please don’t let this be the last year

Wooooow that last game was crazy. One of the most entertaining games I've ever seen
Talk about a see saw
insane
I think Byun realized he shouldn't be losing to DRG and the reason why he was because he was still bothered by his defeat against Maru.
Holy fuck....idk what to say...just insane holy
scrappiest game ever.
Thanks you guys so much for keeping the GSL alive and Letting the community support the players through Donations to the gsl
They make six figures , you're literally just giving money away to the rich

Holy mother effing s-word that final game was INSANE

Great casting as always, setbacks to GSL for sure but it's great to see Tasteless finding ways have fun with this new format and this new duo finding their flow
Wow I did not realize i've been watching GSL since a few months after it started! What an amazing journey it has been
Nightmare literally playing in his wardrobe :D
Last game is crazy
we missed you guys so much
the first couple jokes about the robot voice were warranted but the more he talks about it the more i suspect tasteless is legitimately frightened by the scary robot man
Thank you for reverting to normal full screen!
the smirk on maru's face at 1:43:17 ( also, spoiler alert) , i love it LMAO
The spoiler alert is supposed to be before you say anything.... I did have a chuckle when I saw it though 😂
Thank you GSL and AfreecaTV
looks like the patreon is doing well! Give em some money
What a game 1 for BYUN ... he simply annihilated DRG with that STEAM MARINES ...👍💕
That was an amazing day of GLS
Man i love rewatching these and looking at the player's faces during the match.
I wish GSL sold those jackets, I would totally buy one
Thank you GSL!
Wow I thought that last game was over so many times before it finally did end. Amazing game.
Love Maru's smile lol!!
That last game was crazy. Also don’t think I’ve seen Maru seem as happy as he did when he cheesed Byun LOL
MADNESS BABY!! GGWP!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yey! Work from home!
Yay so happy that GSL is back baby
ByuN's stacked Liberators were insane.
Oh shit GSL Is back boys!!!!
That was epic. Come on ROK, keep GSL alive!!
lezgoooo!
what a amazing game...¡¡¡
Please Keep The GSL ALIVE For Ever
Ty for uploading the whole screen. Will donate when I get a job...
Woww that last game!!!!!
Finally sc2 is back!!! Been waiting for so long
I highly prefer these full vods. TY
Amazing still running, sound tinny tho. Hope patreon covers mics!
So NOW it's fullscreen...
Looks like 2023 is the year of the Terran. Both in ASL and GSL.

Ultimate game is Game of the year or Best Game of sc2 scene

Thank you GSL for keeping me entertained since my high school days, now I’m able to support back to the studio as an adult.
I’ve seen the loop point of the chains animation and now I can’t not notice it.
_holy_ shit gg thru the end and Stageless!
would be funny if prize pool gets bigger then usual :) we need to keep GSL alive!
Shit, last year of GSL with that many starting, Round of 8 is gonna all freakin' Terran I bet
How many ads did they use? 26?
That last game was amazing
I love GSL
Gyuri segment was touching. The class she brought to the show will be missed!
gsl back :))
No Tastosis part of me died today
I legit cried when Artosis moved to Canada and I watched his goodbye video. A part of me died too. But State is doing good and I'm giving it a chance.
@@juggling8557 I know he´s doing a great job but it just isn´t tastosis u know
What a s**t day today was but WHOA buddy it's GSL time 🙂🙂🙂
ByuN is so holy **** *** **** ***** insane good!
Holy shit, that last game really went down to the wire. Damn.
That last game is going to become a classic 😲🔥
ive been out of the game for 5yrs. where do we get replays now? most sites seem dead or lagging any recent matches.
If you mean actual replay files, it seems like for this season Afreeca is giving replays as part of the donator perks. If you just mean VODs, Afreeca and ESL upload all their games to their RUclips channels.
@Tasteless are you translating? If so, well done man. Can tell you have been putting extra effort into learning the language the past few years.
music this season so chill. tho i will always be "a rebel for life" (-8
what happened to the GSL studio?
party game, drink a shot every time tasteless says "it's crazy"
First game made Maru realized he can't beat Byun in a straight up micro game so he exploited the latter's weak macro with his superior macro. The window mine was the beginning of Byun's demise.
Man Byun shutting down that proxy hatch in his second game vs DRG was damn tight. I dream of doing that to some cheesy jerks on ladder.
can't imagine a gsl without byun :)
Gj State! Big footsteps but u are doing great!
3:06:49 lol
That 2023 balance patch was weird. TvT final at IEM and now sooooo many terrans in ro16 GSL.
The last interview talking about camera. I think he is either not having good data upload or he is not using correct settings.
What do Koreans see in starcraft 1 that isn't in starcraft 2?
I think its just the timing, BW came out at the right time as an eposrt for the KR scence and was beloved since. SC2 came out as an "adopted" child that was not loved as much and then we have the match fixing scandal that alienate people from it even more.

Dam.. huge DRG Fan and I know that last game gonna haunt him for a while
Dark with dat goat

You could take that last game and use it as the plot of a fictional war movie. Holy crap.
What a freaking last game.
"HEY DRG, HOW MANY FINGERS DO I NEED TO HAVE TO PLAY PROTOSS"
