I am actually curious about him since they always mention Korean and Non-Korean...
He is a great player, should really get the benefits of both when in doubt.

And now i can talk about it... Thank you to my counter-parts at GSL and Blizzard for helping to make this great relationship come together. Just the beginning of many great things coming into Columbus!

Great, great news. Note that placing well at MLG now means you can earn a spot for an all expense paid trip to compete at GSL in Korea for a MONTH.

That is pretty big. I'm not going to lie.

This is a good way to bring the two communities together. Now, all you guys have to do for the next season is to make sure your schedules don't conflict with one another.

This is just plain kick-ass.

This is a fantastic partnership that I imagine will grow both MLG and GSL fan-bases. So so so glad, plus, now doing well in MLG nets you the sweet prize of an all-expense paid trip to korea. Hot damn!

HOLY COW!!!!

MLG AND GOM have just pulled off the biggest coup. This really takes the gloss off NASL. How mega are MLG's going to be going forward! The interest in GSL now has a much larger audience than absolute die-hard western fans now too!

Well played to both parties.

THis is pretty sick. This means MLG is gonna be even tougher. Can't wait to see which Koreans get to go to MLG.

This is awesome news, previously I only watched a few matches each MLG now it has my full attention and I will definitely be purchasing a pass.

I love the player choices as Losira is my favorite player, MMA and Bomber are in my top terrans and moon is a legend. How were these players chosen and how will they be chosen in the future?

That's fucking awesome! One of the best GSL moments I remember was the season with Idra vs Jinro. And right when it looks like the time of foreigners in GSL is done, some great news come up.

Hope to see great GSL and MLG Competition :>

Mind = blown! The eagle incident is the furthest thing from my mind when I now think of MLG; this makes me <3 MLG soooo much! I remember when I was a little newbie and my after school hours were devoted to Halo 2. The MLG tournys and the players who competed in them were just awesome. And now look how much further you guys have come! Great work. And shout out to the GSL as well, would of course not be possible without them.

They should (have) do(ne) something like this for Europe, mayby dreamhack? Mayby skill is a little higher in europe, dunno. Anyhow this is pretty cool. I just hope the difference in skill level is as small as I think it is.

At first I read the thread title as an exchange between the GSL and MSL, which was extremely confusing.

This makes much more sense, and is still unbelievably awesome.
