Welcome to the Korean StarCraft II League Daily! The KSL is sponsored by own3d.tv and can be viewed as an European event series that features the Korean Pro-Teams. The KSL is a series of daily matches between top Korean players from the teams Prime, NSHoSeo, MVP, ZeNEX, StarTale, Incredible Miracle, FXOpen and Fnatic.
Matches will be broadcast by a variety of commentators including KatuStarcraft (English), Khaldor (English), TaKeSeN (German), TheKSL (Korean), GoodGameRU (Russian) , sc2tv.ru (Russian) as well as a German commentator.
The KSL is like a class below the GSTL because more often than not the lesser players are used more than the very elite of a team, but even then you get a decent amount of top players and many great games. At the very least it is better than any foreigner team league.

From my months (weeks?) of making the LR thread of KSL, I can safely tell you that it is not the problem of lower class players. It is solely the problem of advertising. GSTL have updates on Featured news/community spotlight, so naturally people will know about it unlike KSL. Theres nothing for KSL, not even the sponsored thread, How can anyone know KSL?

Thats arguable. I think they have a pretty strong line up. I mean just looking at results they just got two more people into Code A today.
Granted today they're not doing the best, but obviously July is just on a roll, normally they're more than competent.

What about seed? He did just make code S this season but they seem to rarely play him.
Somehwere in Seoul, a lonely july is sitting alone in his teamhouse thinking "crap, everybody else is gone, I need to win this all for myself or my team will be disqualified for not showing up."
They really should use July against Prime today, especially the last map was dual sight. They should use Parting then July instead of using Ace considered that the last two maps were both bad for toss.

July won in signature style. Abusing the shit out of weaknesses and refusing to go to high tech.
His play is still unclean, he needs more creep spread, and he needs to not clump his overlords. But he's so fun to watch. He doesn't all-in all the time, but his hyper aggression is great.
edit: he occasionally makes bad micro-level decisions; he engages poorly with small groups of units, etc. But his overall decisions making is SUPER good. He knows when to backstab, knows when to pull back and deal with attacks at his main. Just really great.
