Nice, just need to book my plane ticket!
|
So happy seeing the words "2020" and "GSL"
I just realized this is for the super tournament. Do you have any idea when the GSL Season 1 will start roughly?
|
Super Tournament before regular GSL season? Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but hopefully we'll find out soon enough.
|
Awesome news! Thanks for the information!
|
Guys, this is confirmation that
1. AfreecaTV is still in charge of KR SC2
2. We still get more than 3 KR events
3. Kr sc2 is still operated under the branding GSL
I m so hyped about this and can t realy understand, why there aren t more hyped reactions here yet.

I’m not sure what that means exactly for KR sc2 in 2020, but I’m happy to hear about it for sure!
The mappool is nice.
I guess there are 16 spots available?
|
Really good news to finally hear some confirmation for GSL events. Hoping they won't reduce the amount of tournaments at least for the 10 year anniversary.

I'm also happy to hear this, looks like a promising year to come.

Oh... Does this mean the end of Code S? Are the three Korean champs that qualify for EPT world championship just the winners of three Super Tournaments?
I'm very worried now.

Yeah it does seem really weird, it seems it is already decided Afreeca is running sc2 in korea and it is still GSL. So what are they stlil discussing about?
The timing of a super tournament straight off as a start does seem worryingly unusual, why do this if we are expecting just the normal Three code S during the year.
Worried as well

Is there any situation that does not worry you?
The World Championship is happening further in time so it would make sense for Code S to start later during the year(after Katowice). There is no EPS in February but we will have a GSL Super Tournament, aren't you happy?
|
Yes. It seems weird to start with a super tournament.
Is it only me or has there been very few big tournaments since HSC? Giving HSC was a very nice upswing for the scene, it puzzles me that there is not more going on.

Looking at this ( Premier Tournaments) and given how the new format will work, this does not seem worrying to me at least for the foreign circuit, compared to 2019. As for the korean circuit, we get a Super Tournament to start the year so it's cool, hopefully if there is a downgrade it's nothing too big.
Nation Wars was the last big tournament though (not that big/premier, but since there were Reynor+Serral and Stats/INno/soO I'd say it was still interesting for those who care about top level starcraft)

yooohoooo!!! Korean SC2!!

Seeing how Katowice is the new global finals, I imagine the three GSL seasons will take place after it. They have until March to wrap up all events instead of November now.
Plus if they kept to the old scedule, they would finish GSL/WCS korea by november and then have to wait 4-5 months until the global finals.

How can you know the 3 top KR plaeyrs are not taken from GSL ST 1, 2 and 3?
Can you quote the confirmation for me, obvious idiot, who can't see it?

Nice opening statement, belittling my feelings for no reason.
Is my worry a problem for you? Is me discussing my feelings regarding starcraft 2 news in a starcraft 2 forum somehow aggravating you, making you angry or sad so that you need to lash out like this?
If so you probably shouldn't be here, if someone having feelings that does not mirror your own upsets you then don't seek out context where people discuss their various feelings and opinions. Take care of yourself.
No code S news worry me, some GSL news but no code S news worry me even more.

Obviously, if they are putting in a quick Super Tournament before Katowice and then do three Code S seasons during the year, this is super hype. But they haven't announced anything yet so it's hard not to worry.
Hopefully they will announce the full program soon and we will know for sure.
|
People worry too much. They wouldn´t region lock korea if there wouldn´t be a full korea circuit. It makes makes perfect sense to organize ST before IEM, because there isn´t time for a full GSL before it. It is better to have GSL season without breaks, ladder map changes etc.

There is news reading between the lines. The GSL name is still there, it’s Super Tournament 1 which I’d assume means there’s going to be a Super Tournament 2.
With Super Tournaments being very much the GSL’s side-tournament that lacks the hype and prestige of its big brother, it would be extremely odd if they cut down the latter.
My guess is with the new calendar, it’s easier to throw in a Super Tournament that can be done in qualifiers and a weekend rather than scheduling a Code S that runs longer.
We don’t have much tangible news to go off, which is a tad frustrating but we’ve not had much bad news to go off as well.
If I was a Korean pro I’d much rather be able to focus on Katowice with an ST after with a gap to Code S than have the two big tournaments close together.
I don’t know how the windows all line up, the Chinese seem to be pushing hard in terms of pickups for their team league too, and their league’s main stars are almost exclusively the top Korean players.
My guess is that is a factor as well. They’re not just ringers for these teams they pay their salaries, so any Code S schedule is going to have to factor that in too.

The fuck? Since when have GSL ever run a super tournament before Code S Season 1?

Hyped!!
Don't want to speculate about why Afreeca is starting with a super tournament- could be good or bad.
Instead I am just happy for the announcement!!

Wombat is on point.
In the last 14 months people have been worried about sc2 dying, WCS not continuing in 2019, GSL not continuing in 2019, sc2 dying again, GSL not continuing in 2020 and now GSL continuing without Code S in 2020; there is no need for you guys to be worried, no clue have found points towards the impending doom that has been prophesized right after Sc2 went out of beta.
It seems reasonable that Code S will be rescheduled according to the new order in Sc2, which is still being defined at the moment; unless you have serious reasons to be worried for, you'd better feel safe and reassured by the announcement we are commenting.

Also the more open schedule with the season running from March to March allows them a bit of breathing room. So they don't have to start Code S, do the whole Ro32 in 2 weeks and then go on break for 2 weeks because of IEM and WESG. They can actually take a bit of time, wait with starting Code S until those are done.

It’ll probably make for a better Code S season anyway, more preparation time, players don’t have to spread themselves thin and there’s not a gap between rounds with another tournament in between.
I’d rather see an uninterrupted Code S that’s given time to breathe and can be followed start to finish personally. Better for the players too I’d imagine.

For the purposes of this discussion I'd like to move away from the specific people in this thread who are worried about SC2's future. I'd like to have an abstract discussion.
There is a certain percentage of humans who are attracted to "doomsday"/"apocalypse" scenarios. So the news headline "SC2 Esports Is Gradually and Incrementally Declining" won't get this group to click and read. However, "SC2 Is Dying" gets a click and their attention much more often.
News outlets relying upon views/impressions/clicks are motivated to use hyperbolic doomsday headline #2. This creates an echo chamber of panic. This is part of the reason post apocalypse games like "Fall Out" attract certain people. A certain segment of the population has a bizarre attraction/fixation to the "impending apocalypse". I call this is "Bob Wiley" effect. Here is Bob Wiley in action.
+ Show Spoiler +
IMO, in 2019 and 2020 SC2 esports continues its very slow and gradual incremental decline. However, there is still enough interest to have lots of cool events like the GSL Super Tournament though. In fact, interest is so strong a very big esports company signed a 3 year deal with Blizzard.
I'm a happy camper. I'm looking forward to another pretty damn cool GSL event.. I"m confident Tasteless and Artosis and the rest of the production crew will do a great job.
As fun as SC2 esports will be this year I'm at peace with the fact that SC2 esports will continue to slowly decline. As a result, in 5+ years the amount of support Blizzard offers to the esports community will be substantially scaled down compared to the level of support today.

Yes!! I love GSL!!! It's my favorite tournament every year! It's the only tournament that I tune in live for every time. All of the major Starcraft 2 tournaments I watch, but sometimes life gets in the way. However, I have for the past 10 years watched GSL live as it is truly the highest level of competition in StarCraft 2!!!!
I can't wait to see the great games and production quality I fell in love with back in 2010. GSL had me hooked with FruitDealer's win, and I sincerely hope that they continue to be the most prestigious tournament in the world of Starcraft 2

NationWars is a premier event, but it is a team event, so you will find it at the team event portal page: Team Tournaments

I agree with the opinion, as katowice next year will be the new global final, I think it'll be very odd for korean scene to just end all tournaments at the end of October with only there are only three tournaments beside super tournaments confirmed (or the three tournaments are all super tournaments that make everything suck). I guess gsl will all be like one month or more later than last year so it could probably fit the time

Hmm, wasn't there that discussion last year about bad timing / overlapping schedule between GSL, IEM and WESG, that hindered some Pros to compete in all three events resp. the according qualifiers?
I can virtually still hear those complaints: "Can't they place the premier events properly without overlapping?"
Well, this year they do - with more time until the World Championship now.
But obviously some guys find other things to complain about...

iem and gsl didn’t have acheduling conflicts with each other if i remember correctly
the problem was wesg, because they just ignored the already existing schedules (not only koreans had schedule issues because of that, but they also wnated to do the na qualifier on a day where some wcs stuff took place)
|
GSL delayed?
Or all year weekend tournament?
|
I think that's actually not that bad. The last years the break between blizzcon and the last gsl of the year was too big. Like this we will probably see the Koreans in a better shape at blizzcon.

A GREAT NEWS ON CHINESE NEW YEAR <3 <3 <3

I can virtually still hear those complaints: "Can't they place the premier events properly without overlapping?" Well, this year they do - with more time until the World Championship now. But obviously some guys find other things to complain about... iem and gsl didn’t have acheduling conflicts with each other if i remember correctly the problem was wesg, because they just ignored the already existing schedules (not only koreans had schedule issues because of that, but they also wnated to do the na qualifier on a day where some wcs stuff took place)
You're right. But nonetheless I believe there should be no further scheduling problems this year because of the new ESL Pro Tour + Korean Leagues format.
So no need to worry about SuperTournament first...

I’ll be in Korea around the grand finals day of the Super Tournament (according to Naver post tournament runs Feb 5th til 15th).
Can someone post or send me some info on how to attend or get tickets? Thanks!!

Which post is that? Sounds odd that it would run for 11 days. Usually it's only four days.

Woot super tournament hype!

Thanks.
Sounds odd that it's from the 2-15 February, I wonder how that is going to work.
Can anyone explain what those numbers are about? (3,000 and 1,200)

I don't know any Korean but my guess is 1.200 WCS points ( 3.000 $? But why Dollar in Korean? no idea)
EDIT: Maybe 1.200 points for winner, 3.000 points in total

It kind of give weight to the idea that ST is gonna replace code S is it not?
Maybe a 16 mans tournament with a group stage, maybe even a 32 player tournaments stretch on a full 2 week?
Then again maybe I'm just paranoid

I don't think so. Code S had a prize pool per season more than five times as big last year (170m won). Surely they couldn't reduce it that much.

This is a qualifier announcement, but if you're talking about getting tickets for the main event I believe it will be free to attend, though it hasn't been announced.

are there liquipedia links for this tourney yet or am I too impatient?
|
Well where can I check the results of the qualifier？
|
|
|
I confirmed there are no streams or live content permitted at the qualifier, so I'll try to post as many pictures and videos as I can from the event on Twitter and Instagram.

I like how people have gotten so lazy that they're just posting the name of the player who qualified.
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
Edit: sOs

Dark gets his revenge on Drogo and qualifies.
And Maru and Trap and Patience.

Solar 2-1 Impact and qualifies btw.

Pretty sad for dream tho he was so close and went 3-2 vs trap overall while not qualifying, feel like he could have done it in another bracket :/
|
Seems like everything ended up like one might expect. Maybe swap Armani and Ragnarok and you'd have the strongest lineup. Still really hard for guys like Super, Hurricane and returning greats like TaeJa, DRG to make it through.
Would be interesting to actually find out what this tournament is soon. (™)

Pretty much. I would maybe pick Dream, who had a tough bracket and almost made it, over Patience.
