I hope a mod will make a note saying what Kong is ....

Too much confusion amongst the nabs ;p
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

There is no "point of the tournament". It's just a tournament and I'm just saying that the Line-Up could be better.
If NOT, then anybody could tell the reason, why there is no MMA, MVP, MC, Nestea etc. and why there is only 1 Protoss...

But beside this, I will watch it anyway, cause I watch all :D Never missed a Match xD


look up kong....

Although a lot of BW players/ hardcore fans understand... maybe it should be mentioned somewhere that this is a tournament for "king of kong" -i.e. king of 2nd place. So ofc Mvp, nestea, etc won't be invited. It should be hilarious though, especially when mkp comes second

Yes, thanks. I hope everyone enjoyed their little inside joke.

A true kong will always get second in starleagues
This is a point you know very well of seeing as its been described many many times.

but there is one more thing about being a true kong.

A true kong will always win a special event

Yellow the true kong,is also know as the king of special events/unofficial matches.

This is a special event.


just putting it out here for people to know.

Hm, but MKP won Arena of Legends 1. So AoL doesn't count? Only GSL Code S or what? Strange, but ok...

I like how the AoL is headed. It should never have been a super serious tournament.

Hopefully after King of King, we get a 2v2 tournament with GSL making rivals play together. Naniwa/Nestea, MMA/Polt, etc.


Best. Idea. Ever. Would love to see that happen but not really sure if it be as good as it sounds. Language barriers would also be weird.

AOL is a special event so if MKP wins this he cements his position of the one true kong of SC2.

For the ending ceremony, YellOw should be the one handing the trophy to the real inheritor of the Kong-line xD !

Most interesting thing about the tournament is map pool IMO.

- GSL Dual Sight
- GSL Antiga Shipyard
- GSL Bel`Shir Beach
- Daybreak
- ESV Cloud Kingdom
- Metropolis (not Metalopolis, it's a new map by LSPrime, you can find on Team Crux's website)
- Entombed Valley

Could have some indication of the new maps for the next GSL. Cloud Kingdom to GSL would be a welcomed addition.

Super cool map pool. Also I love RainBOw so this should be awesome! RainBOw vs Leenock finals!! :D
