WHAAAAAT? This is insane! So happy for you guys. This is so legit.

I hope this will eventually allow some of iCCup/ ESV TV's maps to make it into GOMTV.

Does this have Korean casters?

Not at this point, however that's a pretty cool idea ^^!

Considering that you're going to keep the maps, this is a huge step in legitimizing their use in competitive tournaments.

Being used to determine a Code A spot makes them at least honorary official GSL maps. :lol

Sweet! Will be looking out for your stream in the future. Who are ESV's notable casters? Any names one might have heard of?

Orb does most of their casting that I've seen. He's really good.

Hopefully you can get Jinro or Carn they really have lots of opportunities for Code A now MLG, Weeklies and normal Code A qualifiers. And guys don't think of this as taking up more spots for Code A qualifiers... this is pretty much a Code A qualifier because all the Code B Koreans will be competing in it and they get cash, its pretty much a qualifier you don't have to travel to. :D

Now all they need is for GOMTV to sponsor Korean Weeklies and raise the prize pool, at least the finals to at least 2,000.

Congratulations indeed! I've watched quite a few of the weeklies as i can't stay up late for GSL anymore and don't have a pass, and the competition is right up there. I also must reflect what a lot of others have said in I love and please keep the team color mod, Orb is an awesome caster, Ithaca is a gorgeous map and i want to see it more, and all the new details of the partnership are very much welcomed.

Woot!

For me this news made this tournament graduate from "might tune in occasionally" to "will definitely watch".

ST is finally not sending only the n00b train for Week 9 ^^! AcE, Squirtle, and Rainbow all playing for week 9 (and the other ST non-code players also).

Going to be so sick!
