Its the Korean Flag, the "white bar" that some people are seeing is just a stylized outline of the two halves.

As to what the icon is for, i'm sure we'll find out Soontm

"Medals" after Grandmaster medals makes me wonder if they are for Blizzard All-Stars (aka. Blizzard Dota) as they remind me of these two colors used here:

I think this is the most likely explanation. Blizzard will have a ladder for Blizzard DOTA!

How sick would dat be

Wasn't Blizzard finally able to negotiate things with KeSPA? I remember reading a thread about it in the BW forums. Perhaps this has something to do with it.

Leagues within leagues with portraits hidden within portraits?

In-game tournament win tracking maybe? They're structured just like race win icons (terran 10, 25, 50, 100, etc) where they get progressively more elaborate. Tournament wins like in War3 would make sense but I don't know how "IGR" factors into that.

I'm hoping for this 100 fucking percent.

Just a hint of the War3 greatness would supremely get me back into the game!
