Nice to see round robin groups, always thought they were better than typical GSL format

Have to agree, although I imagine the reason why a lot of tournaments adopted the GSL group format over the years has to do mostly with time and logistics constraints.
Worst case scenario, it saves you having to have one extra match.
Best case scenario, it saves that + any hassle whatsoever that would be associated with tiebreakers.
At the same time despite their disruption of tournament scheduling and work hours, tiebreakers can be a lot of fun to watch when it results in extra matches being played.

China saving sc2
Is not China, just SCboys (Xiaose & F91) , and for most of us Chinese who watch the game hardly play game (for example me and my friends around, starcraft is tooooo difficult, actually I only play cooperation mode for fun), what we like is the way the SCboy commentating the game. It more fun to watch than to play : )
The reason SCboy holding this tournament is that GSL and SSL forbid them from commentating the game and the SCboy have less game to commentate. The SCboys thinks it is cheaper to hold a online one, so here it is.

...I know it may sound bad and/or selfish but if the "revenge" for not being allowed to cast the GSLs in chinese is they decide to organize and run two (and probably three it seems) 5-10k online tournaments with such lineups I'm pretty ok with that...

LOL, actually the reason that GSL forbid their cast is that another Chinese group (called “电竞哥斯拉“ from huomaoTV) bought the GSL Chinese cast copyright for more than 300K CNY( SCboy tried to buy the copyright at this price but failed). Thanks to huomaoTV, we now have more tournaments

The benefit of having a still heavily competitive video game streaming market.
Twitch and Youtube almost dominate things globally, while in China there are quite a few big video/stream platforming competing for shares right now. Huomao, Douyu and PandaTV all have some investment on sc2.

However, 电竞哥斯拉 is SCboy's arch nemesis 
To be specific, Xiaose does not get along with their leader, bengo.
