2023 went by too fast for me, feels unreal. I was curious about the main tournaments that happened. I did a quick look on Liquidpeida for "Premier Tournaments" Since the last World Championship Katowice 2023. There are two team-based tournaments that I skipped. For my own reference I put together the top finishes of the top tournaments to see how it all played out: 2023 GSL Code S Season 1
Masters Coliseum 7 is going on until tomorrow it seems. IEM Katowice 2024 is next month, but it's not the world championship, that will be in May in Dallas, TX. So that's 7 "premier" tournaments for 2023, about one every other month. There are also the ESL regionals that can feel like premier events, not sure what the real difference is between a Premier and non-Premier tournament. Either way, this is the end of the first year after Blizzard withdrew a bunch of funding, and I felt like there was still so much going on in the pro scene that I couldn't keep up with it. I didn't watch anything with the Masters Coliseum for example. And I'm super looking forward to the Dallas tournament, I might be able to make it out there for that in person which would be amazing. Building the list does show how tough it is to be a Protoss enjoyer this year, they just couldn't get into the finals like the Terrans and Zergs could. I just watched a video about Parting being out of military service and back into tournaments, so maybe he will bring something to the table. Also, Maru and Serral both had two 1st place finishes, they are so good. Clem has the most recent 1st place finish, he is doing great right now, I feel like at the beginning of last year he wasn't nearly as strong, now it feels like he can take on anyone, I've seen a few youtubes of him beating Serral. Honestly it's great to see someone new move up to the top spot, I feel like it's been Maru at the top forever and now things feel a little more dynamic, but just a little.

Game 2 of the finals, with drones and mules fighting over the last scraps of minerals in that corner base, while the broodlords looked over everything like angry bouncers, was sweet. Love the endgame scenarios in SC2.

I liked the result, but only having a single game that wasn’t one-sided was a bit boring.

Loving GSL this round. It just wrapped up but I want to watch the 2nd group of Ro8 before I watch the end. For the Ro16, all the days were good, but Group B and D had a lot of good games. I, and the english casters, were very surprised that this GSL applied the patch during the tournament. I know they play on custom map modes so they didn't have to do this, it's very odd to me to have a big tournament where the patch and map pool changes halfway through  Anyway, great games so far and seeing more Protoss than normal, hope to catch up fully this weekend
