YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FREAKING AWESOME THIS IS!
Def missed the esv korean weekly, and this looks like it will be an even better replacement for it.
Thank you!
If you need any additional coverage English/Russian, or admining or something, feel free to let me know. Would love to help out.

This is exactly what Korea needs! A go4sc2 equivaöent and esv/ksl replacement
|
Yessssss, So happy about this
|
this is indeed awesome
esv and ksl were super cool and korea needs more tournaments which give unknown
players and b teamers more exposure.
hope that this torunament grows so that the price pool can grow as well and become more profitable for players
|
So glad to be a part of this! Anyone who knows me would expect nothing else, of course. :D
But yeah, glad the comparisons to ESV Weekly are being made. Exactly what I thought. <3

YES!!!!
SC2 hasn't been the same for me since ESV Weekly
|
This is simply awesome!
Korea really needs this. I will support what I can on Patreon.

Will this be the set time for all the future weekly tourneys? 9pm for Korea seems like it could be a little earlier so that way people on the west coast (PDT) could stay up to play it rather than wake up at 5am. Just wondering ^^ either way this is great!

While all those casters hold their boring Showmatches and Invites, Axiom saves Korean SC2-scene.. LOL. I have to change my favorite-team from Prime to Axiom!
