In celebration of the 20th anniversary of StarCraft, Blizzard Entertainment is launching the Korea StarCraft League (KSL).
This StarCraft: Remastered competition is open to all players and designed to provide the ultimate fan experience.

“Korea StarCraft League represents Blizzard’s commitment to StarCraft and its fans all over the world, who continue playing, watching, and enjoying the game. We are thrilled to announce a brand new StarCraft league based out of Seoul, a city that lives and breathes esports,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Last year, we upgraded the classic strategy game with StarCraft: Remastered, and this year, we look forward to the best players in the world competing in the KSL.”


Press Release: https://blizzard.gamespress.com/en-AU/Blizzard-Entertainment-Announces-Korea-StarCraft-League-98523

Further details not mentioned on the website/official press release:

Casters (KR): KCM, ZeuS, trOt
Casters (EN): Tasteless, Artosis

According to Blizzard Korea's Kook Ki-bong (TheBOy), this will not clash/replace the ASL and serves as an additional tournament for SC:R players in Korea. This is backed up with broadcast times being on Thursday and Friday nights.

1. KSL will be held twice a year.
2. Total prize pool for the entire year surmounts to ₩160,000,000 (₩80,000,000 per season is almost OGN StarLeague level)
3. Best-of-seven format for the semi-finals and finals

Great news. Hopefully this will spark some much needed motivation for the ex-professionals, and maybe even the influx of new talent.

The decision to host on Twitch rather than Afreeca will hopefully increase awareness and boost interest in the game!! Good choice by Blizz

Blizzard, thank you so much for this. You have redeemed yourself in my humble opinion. I just think it's a shame Bisu isn't around to compete at this time. Also, I hope this makes FanTaSy reconsider his choice to play SC2 fresh out of the army. I like how the tournament is open to all players so even foreigners have a chance to win. Good luck to everyone that plays!

Ah shit. There always has to be a catch. Hopefully there won't be too much bullshit politics between the parties involved leading to the destabilization of the current ecosystem.

This is perfect while waiting for ASL 6!!!

Wow what's even more perfect is this will be held twice a year and be a backup for ASL! And games on Thursday and Friday. So that's potentially 4 nights of Starcraft per week!!!
