    StarCraft news

    GameStar.de presents the GSL!

    Outside of Korea it is rare to find a league willing to show support for the amount of time necessary. The good people of GamerStar.de have brought you the premier star league for foreigners.



    This league is not new to the scene, having been known as one of the premier groups out there. They have hosted both Warcraft 3 and Counter Strike 1.6 in the past but slightly shifted gears this year. They broadcast these games live from their very own studio in Germany into televisions and computers all across the globe.

    StarCraft is not the only game featured but it is most definitely one of the best. The GSL also hosts some other games including Unreal Tournament 3 (1on1) as well as Guild Wars (8on8) but we know what you really want to hear about so lets get down to it. The players for StarCraft have already been chosen for this season by invite only.

    The 16 players accepted into the tournament will be competing for a total of almost €9000 in cash and equipment! The games will begin on March the 24th and go until late November 2008 when the finals will take place. There is a base payout to each player no matter what of €25 so everyone comes out with a little something here.

    The Players


    A lot of the invited players are from the clans Germany ToT and Denmark MYM. A good portion of their top players are participating and it looks to be a interesting league. Other teams include Russia 3D and Germany faculty, here is a complete list of the competitors.

    Mistrzzz is bm, he was acclaimed of hacking (whether it was true or not doesn't matter here) and he is not THAT good as the fan boys say (he has lost btw this weekend in wgtcl). So in such a big league it is only reasonable that you take someone other polish protoss who is good mannered, reliable and nearly as good (Gohan, Dreiven).

    There are 3 polish players, so no reason to complain.

    Very strong players overall.

    Edit: @ 59: I said nothing about Mondragon, did I?

    but tots like squall for example are just NOT that lvl, they never win a single game on a tournament against ppl like mistrzzz or mondragon.
    *end*

    this is just not true
    squall may not have been able to win an overall tournament since quite a time but its undoubtable that he is a top player who can take a win vs everyone in this tournament
    hes just unstable but in top shape hes a monster

    If you arent happy with that make a blog and talk about your life, we dont want to hear 10yrs kids whinning

    I think the list of player also has something to do with the popularity of the players and their image. Squall and Sarens represent important countrys from europe. I assume this league wants too make a publicity in Europe and not outside thats why there are only european players. In the same argumentation mistrzzz wasnt choose because he isnt popular and doesnt make a good image of the league.
    I think this players arent the best in level but they are the best representing their countrys.

    Also mistrzzz lost this weekend against Gotunk in wgtcl, against G5 in the nation best event and has lost many other games. I think he is overrated and he hasnt the same level as mondi, idra or other top players.

    to all these polish MistrZZZ fanboys out there: 1 big point for the list was the credibleness of the players. And sorry - MistrZZZ is known for beeing BM, have hack issues and so on. Its really the other way around for EVERY TOT) member. Even if i really would have loved to c a2 instead of squall

    MistrZZZ isn't really BM, he's extremely cynical and ironic; his image is supposed to make people, who have at least a bit of distance to the game, laugh. Besides, some of your arguments that he's not such a good player are funny- he WON the last season of ICCup. And your hack arguments...I won't even comment on them.

    BTW He wasn't chosen because you German guys don't like him and probably wouldn't get along, no problem- your tournament, your decision. But don't say he's a noob and a hacker, cause that's just silly. He takes money tournaments very seriously and I think there's a fair chance that he would have won ;>

    dreiven is not even near to as good as mistrzzz or gohan are, currently, since dreiven was rly inactive and if you watched MotC you may have seen that he lost all his matches fairly easy and went off after his 4th loss already.
    He isn't in shape, so he is not that good of a choice unless he masstrains now instead of keeping studying ...

    wow another mistrzzz discussion.

    mistrzzz is a very skilled player, no doubt. but hes a also a flamer.
    just look at his statements to his loss against G5

    "grats gay 5, too bad that i thought its bo5 in wb final and decided to play rmd vs noob like u

    its silly that u felt confident in our games when i had like 5-0 stats with u before this tour"

    "first time he won because of lucky dt's and second one because of noob maps for campers like loki and baeksomething;;

    Im too aggressive player who cant just stand and wait for 200/200 like a noob gay 5, thats why i lost on camper maps to him :s

    and because of time difference between poland and usa - mine was 2 am time at which I usually sleep T_T

    gay 5 is a noob but sometimes noobs win too, if it wouldnt happen then this game wouldnt be played still ;;"


    I dont know, maybe he wants to copy Mohammad Ali by flaming his opponents.
    But in my eyes hes just the "Iam an asshole and iam proud of it" -guy.
    This behave is jnot funny or anything else, Its just childish and idiotic.
    It just demonstrates that hes not mature enough.

    'he WON the last season of ICCup.'

    Actually he didnt, the thing he was top1 doesnt mean he WON that season. Play offs are going to be played soon I suppose :). Or at least its always been like that.

    #83. Yeah that's what i meant. Don't be jelaous, maybe someday you'll be as cool as Legend xD

    BTW there's no such thing as TOP 1, cause there's only one nr 1.

    #84 Being as cool as mistrz is an insult in my eyes, so please dont insult me.

    And yes, there is such thing as top1. Reconsider it, you'll understand why :- ).

    #71 + #75: That was what I wanted so say. Thx.

    #79: Nice example, thx. I'm reaaally glad that such an idiot wasn't invited. Would be no good advertisement for esports.

    #77: Yes, his comment @ 79 was really "ironic". Please get to know what "ironic" means, thx.

    #78: You're right. But no doubt he has the potential to get better again (as he was @ WCG). And 9 months are a looong time in bw.
    But I would have liked another russian player instead of a polish one better, too.
