HungryApp TV and Kongdoo partner up again to bring us the second season of the spiritual successor to the MSLs, the Kongdoo Starz League. This season is planned to kick off halfway through August.
Ex-MBC's casters IntoTheRain, Park Sang Hyun and Lee Seung Won, that we all remember from the last season finals will be back to deliver the goodness, give us a good laugh and some goosebumps. The top four placing players from the last season (Mind, Kwanro, ZerO and hero) will be returning as seeded players.
Grand finals should be played on a stage at the G-Star global game exhibition in Busan, 19-22 November.
In addition, HungryApp has been running some trial cable TV broadcasts two months ago and I think they either launched it or are launching it soon so there's a possibility of the league being broadcasted on cable. (Not sure that's what's being promised though, to me it sounds like just a general mention of what's coming for HungryApp in the near future.).
I'm also hearing that 'There should be more players than there were in the last (ro16) season', but if someone could confirm that or even add what's being said right after that, that'd be nice.

Archons suck in SC2.
edit: Above statement has nothing to do with Tasteless and Artosis of whom I enjoy.

I saw that but i thought i read he had no attachment to justify a delay. Well we'll see. Would love to see him crushed :p

Yey! How about bisu?
Two post up

Sorry, i missed the two posts up... looks like we're still not sure. Well, ro8 of ssl is starting soon so we'll see. But since i don't see any news that he will withdraw from ssl, i'm assuming that he managed to delay it.
I hope he participates in ksl.

excellent stuff, I don't know how they are going to schedule in such a way that their finals happens during G-Star.

If the Finals is slated for mid-November, this is around the right time for the league to start.

Will be interesting to see if Bisu is in this one.
Hope Kongdoo can get more amateurs to participate this time around (all BBARAS members should be in considering the MOU sonic signed with Kongdoo last month or so)
