Today I am beyond ecstatic to bring you a major partnership of epic proportions! ESV TV (formerly iCCup TV) and GOM TV have officially partnered and are starting out with a bang!
While many great things will come of this the most relevant and most important is the inclusion of a highly coveted Code A slot for the winner of the ESV TV Korean Weekly Finals! That's right, the winner (or top un-coded player) will bring home a guaranteed slot into Code A! No "win this other side tournament after" or anything of the sort this is a full Code A slot!!!!
This will make the ESV TV/Nationvoice Korean Weekly the first online tournament in history to offer a slot in the GSL!

The ESV TV Korean Weekly is one of the premiere weekly tournaments drawing some of the hottest up and coming Korean talent. It is a $200 weekly tournament with a $500 monthly finals. It is hosted on the Korean server, at Korean friendly times, and does not conflict with the GSL in any way.
It was created to help funnel more prize money to more players, as Korea is severely lacking in tournaments aside for the GSL. In the 8 weeks the Korean Weekly has ran, it has gone amazing with some of the new forces on the scene long time veterans.
EG.Puma? Was dazzling the Korean Weekly fans a month before his NASL breakout performance. NsHS.Jjakji? (Spoiler) That guy that won in groupstage vs MC, Losira, Check, and Kyrix came from here also! Jjakji in fact was the winner of the Korean Weekly Finals #1, and went on in the following weeks to Top 8 Code A and last night earn his Code S spot!
SlayerS.Puzzle, NsHS.Sage, SlayerS.Taeja, and more all have proven their worth in this very tournament. Even though every Korean Weekly (besides #8) was already like a mini weekly GSL, expect the level of talent and the number of players to rise quite a bit!
On a personal note, this is a HUGE step for the Korean scene, and I am so happy I barely have words to express it! There will be much more to come of this partnership, but this alone is so big it deserved it's own piece!
Feel free to ask any questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability!
