How is this related? I don't think they are getting money from EWC so I don't see how EWC continuing affects the ability to hold GSLs. They likely announced it now because they had to wait to see how they can fit the schedule leading up to EWC. | ||

Winner of each GSL get 1 spot into EWC, so it acts like an offline-qualifier like DH Dallas. I dont think they care enough about running GSL even with the crowdfunding, unless there is other factor involved. | ||

It's an official qualifier so I'm pretty sure part of the GSL funding is EWC money in addition to the paid trip to Ryadh | ||

Compare to the sad GSL pool the last couple of years It's actually about the same level as GSL 2023 after you add on the crowdfunded money, so I think they might have just baked the crowdfund money into the base prize this time around (they released a full crowdfunding report for 2023, but we don't have one for 2024 cause the entire org basically went AWOL for 10 months). | ||
