As many Starcraft fans and viewers may know, the end of 2011 brought about the dawn of a new online tournament in the Korean scene, the KSL (Korean StarCraft II League Daily). The KSL is a series of daily matches between top Korean players from the teams Prime, oGs, NSHoSeo, MvP, ZeNEX, StarTale, Incredible Miracle, and FXOpen. After already kicking off our Team League for 2012 with the KSL 2012 Opening Ceremonies the KSL is proud to present the epic beginning to our 2012 Individual League: The KSL 2012 Grand Opening. Watch 32 of the best players from our 2011 Individual Matches battle it out in a cutthroat gauntlet to the very end. Starting January 7th, some of the best players in Korea will begin the tough road to the finals.
Be sure to tune in to the stream on own3d.tv at the regular time for KSL 13:00 GMT (+00:00) for these fantastic matches brought to you by the Korean Starcraft II League and own3D.tv!
This. Is. Awesome. Looking for Keen to roll through to the finals ^^
Also, will Khaldor be casting any of these matches or do the times conflict with GSL, I know he's not in the streamers section but I just wanted to double check.
Was just wondering about the KSL since the team games got over. This is going to be soooo sweet. StC vs Choya again, setting up some rivalries in league already? Keen vs Leenock, Jjakji vs Youngwha too much good action ^^
I'm confused by this tournament. Is there a prize besides money? I read the liquidpedia that the prize pool is literally 150 dollars.... What's the point of wasting so much effort on something that's literally worthless?
Will be interested to see how well Finale can do. After his 3kill against oGs against Terrans, I'm expecting him to do well against Gumiho, even if he doesn't win.

I'm working on getting the specifics for this particular event as far as prizes go, but a lot of times they do it for pride and exposure.

I really dont think exposure is an issue these days. There are a million and a half tournaments around the world for starcraft 2. 99% of which has a prizepool greater than 150 dollars. If this is the best the KSL can muster, I feel that it is a travesty to the hardworking players. They deserve better!

And if they wanted better they could easily decline their invitation and someone else would fill in. The prize money is clearly not an issue to them so they accepted the invite. I don't see why you're trying to create a problem when there really isn't any. Tournaments have to keep in mind sustainability as well. Yes the prize money is lower than what we're used to but, so what? The winners of this tournament could also be playing for seeds into a Final type tournament with a higher prize pool which seems to be the norm these days.
