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
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

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

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!

The time may change from now and when the tournament begins, let me determine and I'll announce any time changes on July 26th.

BaseTrade TV are covering the English stream, not sure for KR or other languages.


Glad to hear this is a thing, be nice to see some Korean tournaments outside of PL/GSL, especially for the lesser known/Code B players to show off some of their skills.

Thanks Olivia for hosting this and the casting machine that is BaseTrade TV, very much looking forward to tuning in!

Rifkin and ZombieGrub, they're excellent casters, probably the best community casters out there in fact. They do a lot of events together and really work well together.

Why did you remove two of the ladder maps from the map-pool?


When I was coming up with the format for the weekly I talked a lot with my pro gamer friends about their opinion on what other weekly tournaments do right and not as right. Key points were server defaults and the map pool. Since the finals is is a bo5 this allowed me to remove 2 maps most players felt were not as balanced as the other maps this season.

By the way I think I may have found a little error in the document.

On the first page it says

Default server: KR
If Player 1 is in EU and Player 2 is in KR, default server is NA
If Player 1 is in EU and Player 2 is in EU, default server is EU
If Player 1 is in NA and Player 2 is in NA, default server is NA
If Player 1 is in NA and Player 2 is in KR, default server is KR


(emphasis mine)

But on the body of text under 'server' on page two it says:

If Player 1 is in EU and Player 2 is in KR, default server is NA
If Player 1 is in EU and Player 2 is in EU, default server is EU
If player 1 is in NA and Player 2 is in NA, default server is NA
If Player 1 is in NA and Player 2 is in KR, default server is NA


Unless I'm missing something (if I am sorry and kindly disregard this post lol) shouldn't the last point say "if player 1 is in NA and player 2 is in KR default server is KR" again no?

You are right, I've changed to reflect the correct version. If Player 1 is in NA and Player 2 is in KR, they should play on NA server to ensure crippling lag doesn't affect the game results.

Lag from NA to KR and KR to NA is usually about the same, I'd suggest a coinflip to determine which and of course, alternate if it's BO3.

Just an opinion, and I know it's the unpopular one, but since all the other tournaments do it, maybe it's time we gave the Koreans a break: if it's a Korean weekly, favourtism should go towards the Korean server, no?

Is the lag really the same?

If thats the case I think the default should just be KR since it is a KR tournament, and maybe a coinflip/alternate for bo3 or bo5. However regardless of if it's a KR tournament or not I want to be fair to all participants, so I'll try to figure out and solidify the rules by July 26th.

I totally agree with this. It is a Korean weekly, so I feel it should be on KR.

Just my personal opinion (not as your boss), I think that you're better off sticking to KR server. It doesn't seem right to give an American player an advantage especially in a BO1 where anything can happen, when the tournament is aimed at supporting the Korean scene.

I'd perhaps alternate BO3/BO5 if it got to that point and default the BO1s to KR only.

Lol? I completely do not understand why in a tournament to support the Korean scene, the games should be played on an NA server, when a player is from NA. They have so many tournaments, qualifiers right now, and how TB says, the only KR-tournament, where its Bo1, should be played on NA, if a NA-player participates. It completely does not make sense to me.

Ahh good, i was skimming through earlier, somewhat confused as to why KR didn't get the advantage in every instance if it's a KR league.

Glad to see something like this again! GL GL GL GL

I really hope the Korean players care about playing in this

I remember in the last days of ESV Korean weekly, only B-teamers of zenex and NSHS were playing, kind of killed the hype

Well I certainly wouldn't expect people with Code S or Proleague games coming up to reveal builds in an event like this, but bear in mind, ESV weeklys were where players like Taeja got their start. We want the next Taeja.

Of course, I don't expect any code S player to play here (Maybe players like Solar or Stork, who I've seem playing small cups on-line before).

I followed ESV cup almost every week. But near the last days, it was literally only these two teams (nshs and zenex) who participated. Some times FXO

Prime, Ogs, IM, MVP, Slayers, Startale didn't have even 1 player playing there, not even code B players. It was no fun watching Taeja stomping on completely unknown players


I hope this works, though. At least I hope Prime, MVP or IM participate

True enough, but I think the landscape has changed significantly since then. Heck back then, most of KeSPA hadn't even switched, now there are plenty of B-teamers and up and coming talents along with some players from the less successful teams that would participate I would imagine.

I imagine they will play in some of them, but coming up to WCS matchs will be focusing on practice and not revealing builds.

I'm honestly really interested to see how many Europeans and North Americans try to play in these despite the lag. Not even make a deep run, just how many decide to try for the first one.

Should be really exciting regardless though! I hope we at least end up seeing State play in these since he's in Korea.

What I'll do with the excess money is keep it on reserve to ensure stability to the tournament in case there is a drop in patrons or whatever. As the reserve gets bigger, I will add the remainder to the weekly tournament prize pool thus increasing the weekly prize amount for players.

Missed these weekly tournaments! Lots of great players (TAEJA!) got their start wrecking these types of things on a pretty regular basis. Had a lot of fun watch the old ICCUP and Korean Weeklies.

Here are some updates and changes/non-changes that have been made to OlimoLeague:

Rules and Regulations now has a fully translated Korean version for Korean players thanks to (P)CranK: http://bit.ly/1mJ3u1F

OlimoLeague has a Liquipedia page: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/OlimoLeague

Alongside the English stream provided by BaseTradeTV, we have a Polish stream casted by EmSc Tv!

There were concerns over the initial map pool that has been picked by me from the Season 3 ladder maps. The original map pool is as follow: Deadwing LE, King Sejong Station LE, Overgrowth LE, Merry Go Round LE, Nimbus LE (I removed Catellena and Foxtrot) I will make no changes to the map pool just yet.

The sign-up link will be up in a few hours. :D

I had the feeling that Catallena was the best new map, certainly the most played

I figure Olimoley picked the pool after consulting with Axiom/Interested players, maybe there was some pushback on Catallena. Still will be a great series to watch

Not really sure what happened regarding ESV, just that it just stopped after Season 3 in summer 2012.

This sounds like pretty much exactly what Korea needs.

Problem: Too many players, no enough to do to sustain the scene domestically.
Solution: Smaller, frequent and accessible online competition.

Hits the nail on the head imo.

Yeah, I suspect around 64 at least for the start. Some people wait till the last second to make sure they dont have anything conflicting that may pop up

I met him once two years ago, so I'm sure he owes me a favor.

For real though, last I heard he was working a normal job. I have no contacts with him and I don't think Rif does either, sorry.

He played in a Bronze/Silver/Gold tournament too and lost r1.

So that's definitely not real Jaedong.

I suppose he'll just have to win Red Bull to make up for it.

Shouldn't this be a bo3 not a bo1?

It was originally meant to be bo3 from Ro8 I think, that's where the confusion came because of the low confirms

If you are the real dream, I've been trying to contact you here, PM, and on battle net and you did not respond. In addition SuperNova has been waiting for you and you did not respond in the allotted time, so he has received his free win and moves on to face Nathanias.

Symbol looks like he has no idea how style actually works. Game 1 was just a mess from him, and he's making some very strange choices in this game too. Just get vipers, spread creep, make static def and start abducting.

Emotion's play vs. Swarm Hosts is really dynamic. Definitely the way Protoss should play vs. Zerg even if he is making some over-commitments.


Did he play that much in pl? I don't think he did but I can't remember.

Edit: He played 4 times and his only win was vs zerg.

Ahh, it's frustrating, seeing how few people signed up for this. A free online tournament where you can potentially get prize money, and the worst case scenario is that you get to get good practice against Korean pros and don't win money.

Like.. this should be flooded with NA pros trying to make a name for themselves and stuff, you'd think. I hope this gets more popular.

More Korean players should have signed up as well. With Code S starting up soon, you'd think at least a few players would like to use this oppurtunity for practice + money.

I'm guessing most teams are on break or something? Or they didn't like the time? Because I assume they all knew it was happening.

Just give it some time, I'm reasonably sure this will pan out. We got some decent names already, and this is only the first time. I think it's a fairly safe bet that a lot of Kespa players don't even know this league exists yet.

No. No it's not. Making Mech units does not make something "an Avilo build". Jeez.

I think this was a good showing for the first run.
When I first heard of this, I specifically thought of symbol and supernova. 2 really good teamless (well at the time) Koreans. I was really glad both showed up for it. That in itself justifies the money I put up for it in my mind.

Things are a bit crazy in Korea at the moment I imagine, Proleague finals coming up and Code S not far off.
Give it month or two and let the word get around and I truly believe this will be stacked with good Koreans.
Keep up the hype guys!
