I find it hard to follow the kespa scene, mainly because I like the GSL better so I always watch gsl over proleague.

this puzzles me, how are you watching the GSL? Are you constantly searching for chinese mirror sites? or do you get the gsl ticket.
I love proleague because the stream is free, i watch it sometimes when i am up early, i watched EG-TL against CJ recently, and boy did they get wrecked^^

I've always payed for GSL, it's overall beneficial for E-Sports and I dont mind paying for something that I truly take pleasure from (except from sex -.-).
I've watched gomtv since the days of BW and on my daily schedule I always have GSL time.. :) Coming home, relaxing and putting on some ro8 GSL, thats great!

Although with the new expansion coming out, we will see a big boom in "unknown" players showing some great games. So for atleast the upcoming 1-2-3 seasons of HotS there will be a very vague line of "who's the best" of each race.
But its going to be fun watching the top players being tested against these "new rookies".

thanks jerom and coma, i foudn out new things about proleague and the gsl.
They upload all the proleague games of youtube, so it doesn't matter they wanna charge you for the twitch VODs.
I think GOM is too restrictive, you can't find their content anywhere officially (except the first match of a series)
I also love seeing EG-TL get smacked in proleague. 11 game losing streak!

edit: lol someone said it beauitfully
EG-TL: Every Game They Lose

KESPA and GOM have totally different business models. KESPA (and teams) is backed by big korean companies and in certain aspect by the state and has their main audience in Korea. The price for the league streamĀ  (5$ for 7 months) + the abysmal casters emphasize that.
GSL is much more focused on the foreign community and i am sure dependent on the revenue they get from there. The GSL finals were for a reason the last few times in the US. And GOM releases VODs to everyone after one year or so. ANd before u are able to watch the first match of a set for free

I'm very interested in the proleague youtube link.

I like GSL, I like individual play over team leagues tbh. BO5's are the most epic things to watch apart from BO7 imo. I especially liked the MMA vs DRG series and the Mvp vs Squirtle one... Thing is that following it is pretty hard. STill GSL > Proleague imo.
