GSL 2019

In the recent various excitements (and as a result of having no broadband in our home), I completely missed the start of GSL Code S on Saturday. Actually, I forgot to even check what happened in the qualifiers - naturally I was delighted to discover that Scarlett had once again qualified, her achievement being all the more noteworthy given that she is the only non-Korean player to do so.

While I may have missed Saturday's group, realising that the GSL was back and I would seen be spending my morning happily watching it gave me a sense of pure unadulterated joy - one that I could really use more of. I feel like I have already made every point I would like to make about esports in previous blogs, but in its ongoing struggle for mainstream legitimacy, today I realised it really doesn't matter to me. I was there when it was just kids in their basements, and I'll be there when it's bigger than football.
