Like many, I love GSL. And as some know I'm from the Philippines. So to support the smaller regions, I've decided to organize a tournament inspired by GSL for the Philippines as our Season 1.

We will follow a similar format, qualifiers, ro32, ro16 and then playoffs, with regular broadcasts for the season.

More info will be updated as we go at

psistorm.com/psl

and of course at
