LoveTV Starleague Season 3
AKA Korean Brood War 3.0
LoveTV Starleague is back and while the past two seasons were already ranking high in the top Brood War leagues to follow, the third is shaping up to become the biggest Korean Brood War league hosted in post-televised history of the game.

The rest of the tournament is also going to be 100% offline, starting from the round of 32 all the way to the finals. Reserving the right studio is also what's currently causing the "delay" - as the organizer sOoL calls it, despite there never being any set date to begin with. Three commentators will bring you this epic action, two being already confirmed and the third being either an Afreeca BJ or someone else (work in progress).

2nd Place ~ $30 000

with the bonus gradually rising in each round.

As for the scale of the league, the prizepool is roughly ten times that of the
9th SonicTV Starleague. This means the organizers will require a Blizzard license to stream the event; sOoL is aware of this and is taking the necessary steps.The sponsor of the Starleague is yet to be revealed, as is the schedule. Any further questions you may have will probably not be answered as this is all the information released as of now, but feel free to ask anyway~ Welcome to Brood War 3.0!
Note: The $50 000 (50 000 000원) isn't actually $50 000 but $49 118.33; same rounding has been applied to all cash values.
