The $10,000 WardiTV Korean Royale Season 2 is an event by WardiTV to help support the Korean scene and is the result of our succesful crowdfunding during Season One of the competition. Season Two has reached it's prize pool cap of $10,000 and further donations to the prize pool will go toward the prize pool of Season Three.

Support on IndiegogoToday!
You can continue to support the WardiTV Korean Royale series on our previous Indiegogo page - current donations will go toward the Season 3 prize pool.

Our current funding goal is to try and confirm a $10,000 Season Three of the evnt (we are currently sat at around $5,000).

This tournament is open to any player living in South Korea at the time of the tournament - i.e. any player who would typically be able to participate in GSL OR any player who participated in the GSL Season 2 qualifiers.




Qualifier

Korean Royale Season 2 Qualifier - Saturday, Sep 02 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) - Top 4 Qualify.




Main Event

The main tournament will see the 16 players split into two groups of 8. Each group is played as a round robin, with each player playing 2 series per day, for a total of 4 match days in total. Top 5 from each group advance to a gauntlet style Playoff bracket, with each position in the group allowing you to start one match deeper:

4th Group B vs 5th Group A -> vs 3rd Group A -> vs 2nd Group B -> vs 1st Group A -> Finals

4th Group A vs 5th Group B -> vs 3rd Group B -> vs 2nd Group A -> vs 1st Group B -> Finals

The schedule may change but we are currently aiming for these dates :

Day 1 (Group A Games) - Tuesday, Sep 12 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Day 2 (Group B Games) - Wednesday, Sep 13 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Day 3 (Group A Games) - Saturday, Sep 16 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Day 4 (Group B Games) - Sunday, Sep 17 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Day 5 (Group B Games) - Tuesday, Sep 26 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Day 6 (Group A Games) - Wednesday, Sep 27 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Day 7 (Group A&B Games) - Thursday, Sep 28 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)

Playoff Day 1 - Saturday, Sep 30 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
Playoff Day 2 - Sunday, Oct 01 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)

Prize Pool

Group Stage Matches are worth $50 per BO3 win, totally $2,800 of the prize money. With the way the players are seeded by group standings, this is essentially a scaling prize pool bump to each playoff position, but allows for us to have every round robin match be meaningful even if certain players become eliminated.

Groups - $2,800
Playoffs - $7,200

1st - $2,500
2nd - $1,250
3rd/4th - $600
5th/6th - $400
7th/8th - $300
9th/10th - $200
11th/12th - $125
13th/14th - $75
15th/16th - $50

Wow that's surprising then especially with a 4-1 score. If it was the new patch I would have assumed it's just the typical Zerg underperformance for the first few weeks/months of any patch/map pool change. I hope he's getting back into top shape. His losses vs hero, Dark, Maxpax, Clem and Serral were not inspiring. Plus letting Nightmare take him to game 5.

Maru issue, especially in TvP, has been his eagerness to do predictable 1-2 base all-in instead of macro game. When he wants clamp down on playing the longer game, hes still very unbeatable unless its against Serral. That last game against Dark, where he did a 3 base all-in with 2-2 Bio and Hellbat is very cool, but somehow hes not doing it often enough against Zerg, instead going for either a 5-racks or 8-racks Marines-Tanks on 3 base timing that is very predictable and get countered quite easily.

I mean vs NightMare in particular he played super lazy. You could see he respects Dark a lot more with the game on gresvan -> Dark was supposed to be dead but he didn't quit right away, given he had his ultralisks building and stuff. Instead of playing carelessly like he did against NightMare on gresvan, Maru played it both safely and adequately. He took the time to properly scout / harass etc.

Even again herO in PiGSty tournament, he did similar build as well, up 3-1 and decide to go for early all-in. And he lost to MaxPax 4 times in a row doing the same kind opening.
