Almost four weeks have passed since the epic conclusion of GSTL Season 1 at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

We would like to thank everyone for their support for GSTL and hope you enjoyed our first season. In the meantime we have been working hard to prepare an even better and more exciting Season 2 of our team league.

Today, we are happy to announce that for GSTL Season 2 two additional teams will be joining the competition, increasing the lineup to 12 teams in total.

These two additional teams are none other than TeamLiquid and Fnatic! We hope our international fans are looking forward to the two teams' performances and look forward to Season 2 of GSTL as much as we do.

With the addition of two new teams the format for GSTL has been adjusted slightly.
However, the overall structure of the tournament has stayed the same: Round 1 -> Round 2 - > Round 3. With 12 teams participating, we will be able to enjoy more GSTL matches than in Season 1 and a tighter, more action packed schedule. Since the season length was not increased but the number of matches is higher, we will have more consecutive GSTL games which should be good news for all GSTL fans!

Round 1 (Preliminaries)
  • Best of 9
  • 8 participating teams: TSL, ZeNEX, NSH, oGs, IM, SlayerS, Fnatic, TeamLiquid
    (the top 4 teams of last season are seeded into Round 2)
  • 2 randomized groups with 4 teams each. Dual Tournament format, 2 teams advance, 2
    teams are eliminated. (Same system as Code S Ro32, Ro16)







Group AGroup B
SlayerSIM
NS HoSeooGs
ZeNEXTSL
Liquid`Fnatic


Round 2 (Pennant Race)
  • Best of 9
  • 8 participating teams: PRIME, StarTale, MVP, FXO (Top 4 teams from GSTL S1) + top 4
    teams from Round 1
  • 2 groups with 4 teams each. Dual Tournament format, 2 teams advance, 2 teams are
    eliminated. (Same system as Code S Ro32, Ro16)[/list





    Group AGroup B
    Prime (Seed)StarTale (Seed)
    R1 Group B 2ndRound 1 Group A 2nd
    R1 Group A 1stR1 Group B 1st
    MVP (Seed)FXO (Seed)


    Round 3 (Playoffs)
  • Best of 9
  • Semi-Finals: Group A 1st vs Group B 2nd, Group A 2nd vs Group B 1st
  • Grand Finals


GSTL Season 2 is planned to run from 2012/05/28 - 2012/08/04.

FXO seed is cool, but also means seeing less of FXO. I'm quite literally torn.

For me it still feels half ogs playing on their own. Feels weird to train in other team house and play against them,at least from the outside.

Yes. Ever since GSTL started I wanted a foreign team to try competing on the GSTL great move by both teams.

Hopefully it pays off for both of them so that more teams try,

Where can I preorder my GSTL ticket?_?

But... but... but... the epic beard? Think of the beard!

Then again, I want TLO do awesome in GSTL, even if it means the sacrifice of that beard.

But sick lineup of GSTL teams. Good to see Liquid and Fnatic in. Interesting to see Zenex still alive and kicking around. Perhaps it's time to resurrect or recreate a certain epic thread.

Fuck yeah. Good to see they changed the format. Previous format was pretty ass-backwards, group stages is way better. Can't wait! :D

Well, they are in different groups so they won't meet until at least the semis. And once you get that far, it is pretty much unavoidable. Even in GSL, you have team kills early as well as teammates in finals...

fecking eh!! TL... so whats the KR lineup going to look like? There's Jinro and Haypro right now as well as, obviously, the Koreans Taeja, Zenio, and Hero... TLO is going soon (apparently) should be pretty sick exciting. Wonder if anyone else will go for the season??????

TLO will all-kill and then shave off his beard live on stage for the most epic ceremony ever.

Having oGs and TL continue to be a single team would have been unfair. I mean, Team Liquid has two of the top eight players in the GSL and oGs has Supernova. Add in the fact that Liquid now has enough players in Korea, they can branch off with two teams, but still be partnered.

Should be fun with the two "foreigner" teams involved. Should bring a new hype to GSTL.

This is the same system they had last time, nothing really changed but the number of teams competing.

Wait... How many players does Liquid have in Korea? Hero, Taeja, Zenio, Jinro and...? Even if they have 1-2 more isn't this an issue in a Bo9, where 5 players should play. It will be very predictable

Think TLO and Haypro are going as well, they gave short statements about it in the other thread

Also fnatic's lineup is pretty good, hope too see Moon do well!

What's really cool is that the group Liquid has been placed in doesn't look too strong, I would predict a 2-0 sweep for Liquid!!

Going to make early predictions for the groups now. =)

Group A - NHSH and SlayerS (not downplaying how good TL is looking but really just hoping SlayerS makes atleast a slight return to their former glory)

Group B - IM and Fnatic (Really looking forward to Ares playing in the GSL finally ^.^)

Yea I'm not a big fan of seeding FOUR whole teams. It just means we won't be seeing 1/3 of the teams until the second round, which is quite a lot of actions.

Now imagine when the BW teams switch over:

12 Korean SC2 teams
8(7??) Kespa teams
?? Foreigner teams that decide to tag along.

TL has a decent chance at round 2. They can probably win against Zenex, beat NSH on a good day or beat Slayers when Slayers has a bad day

One problem is that TL has a very shallow line up
We know nothing.

It's right above the GOM icon. GSTL Season 2 is planned to run from 2012/05/28 - 2012/08/04.

As far as I've seen Liquid are absolute beasts in team leagues, even more so than the heavy hitters of the team are individually. Do we have a definitive answer on who we will see tearing it up over there? AFAIK, there are HerO, Zenio, TaeJa, Jinro, HayprO and TLO. I would love to see Sheth back in the GOM studio

Liquid's got a really easy first group with only Slayers being the main threat (Teaja all-kill on that match). Hoseo are liable to upset both Slayers and Liquid.

Group B is brutal. I can't see fantic winning a match.

I don't think anyone would want to be in group A for the second round.

I'm pretty much never a "go foreigner!" guy, but I'm rather excited to see TLO, Jinro, and Haypro in the GSTL (and maybe Sheth and Ret?). It's such a unique and prestigious stage to play on. GL Liquid

I think Liquid can probably get through the first round as they're better then Zenex so just need to to edge out NSHS or Slayers.

The round after that I think their lack of depth will stop them advancing futher.

i actually think after fnatic is favored in group B after IM. oGs is terran heavy and doesn't have a competent zerg and TSL is zerg heavy doesn't have a competent protoss. race balance is kind of important in teamleagues when all of the teams' aces are similar in skill (alive, polt, and prob supernova?)

Well since IM doesn't really do well in the GSTL I can't see them advancing past the preliminaries.
I think oGs and Fnatic will advance from Group B

Byul from what i've seen is a really creative player with amazing control, but who still has a lot to learn. Still, can't wait to see him play. I'm looking forward to him more then to Moon, agreed.

buying this GSTL season for sure. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Liquid should feel cautiously optimistic of their chances in the first round too... Zenex is the sick man of GSTL, and Liquid has an answer for each of NSH's aces (Sage and Jjakji).
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Good news about the teams but I am disappointed that they will use the stupid Preliminaries + Pennant Race format once again instead of going back to the previous one where you could see all of the teams for quite a few matches.

You make edging out NSHS or SlayerS sounds like an easy task :p. Though Liquid definitely has a chance with HerO and Teaja.

I don't think so...In other team legaue matchs ,fnatic had taken down some good teams such as TL,MVP,ZENX which proved that they really have chance to take over any match agains the korean teams.

I don't like this system. I dislike how four teams (PRIME, StarTale, MVP, FXO) with my favourite players on don't get to play until round 2. We have to wait a while to see players like MKP, Parting, DRG and Oz play. I think this is also bad for the players. I'd be gutted to not be able to play these games - to not get to play in that atmosphere.

On a more positive note, the added teams are great. We will get to see a lot more foreigners vs koreans!

Also, how will this work for Liquid, since I understood a lot of their players aren't living in SK/Seoul?

It won't be easy but Slayers now are nothing like they were and all their roster is so weak to Protoss. NSHS are also a great team with a lot more depth than Liquid but Hero and Taeja are better than any NSHS players so Liquid definitely have a chance to win.

they are actually pretty strong.


Except for their zerg line-up.


Nightend/Tod is a weak Protoss lineup by GSTL standards.

Compare that to:
Puzzle/Alicia
Creator/Classic
Oz/Choya
Parting/Squirtle/Ace
Vines/Inca
Tassadar/Sage/San
Seed/Youngwa/Ready
Genius/Tails/Finale
Avenge/Treme
Inori/Cyrano

It's definitely towards the bottom with probably only TSL and Zenex being weaker for Protoss.

Fnatic will need Alive to pull DRG level team league performances if they're to advance beyond the first group stage.

Fnatic and Liquid both have actually pretty good chances of doing well.
I can see them taking out teams like TSL, ZeNex, or even IM.

Are you joking?

Avenge and NEXTREME are both team league beasts.

Not to mention ZeNEX just picked up two good rookie protoss players in Mentalist and Soulman.

Two foreign based teams in gstl, with an actual chance to advance, this is going to be great! Here is hoping we can see a Chinese team or maybe EG in the next one.

I'd be gutted to not be able to play these games - to not get to play in that atmosphere.

On a more positive note, the added teams are great. We will get to see a lot more foreigners vs koreans!

Also, how will this work for Liquid, since I understood a lot of their players aren't living in SK/Seoul?


I kind of agree with this. I miss the group stage format because you get to see all the teams play more. Liquid could go 0-2 and then be gone completely so fast.

Actually IPL5 and GSTL finals will both happen in Vegas again. When Forbes wrote an article about it (I believe it was Forbes) they said that August 5th to 8th I believe (I forget the exact date... I believe it was around there though) will be IPL5 and GSTL finals, in Vegas.


I could be wrong on that though... maybe that's the GSTL after this one.

I sort of remember that article, but I remember them saying code s finals at ipl 5 instead of gstl again. Would also be a lot cheaper for ign as well.

Liquid doesn't have depth against a team like Slayers. Guys like Ryung and MMA can snipe Jinro and Taeja, and let's not get started on what MMA does to Zergs. That leaves Hero, but he can't carry a team alone.

Liquid is objectively better than Zenex I think, but NSHOSEO will be close. Jjakji is very dangerous, as are Sage and San. Liquid is in a lot better shape than Zenex, but they will have to pull out great games to get to round 2. I hope that Sheth and Ret come to Korea, as they are key players for Liquid.

Taeja will eat Jjakji alive though, and I think between him, hero and Zenio they can take out sage and San and whoever. Plus TLO is perhaps the single best player at creating snipe builds.

Oh you're right!

Actually I never noticed on the third page that it does say GSL rather than GSTL:


What are your plans for IPL 5?

Our second Vegas event in August will incorporate IPL5 and GSL. We’ll continue to do a lot of small events like South by Southwest (SXSW), where we’re doing an All-Star League of Legends, StarCraft II and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Still, I'm sure that could still be GSTL. And it's not set in stone yet either from what I've read about it: http://www.esfiworld.com/news/igns-david-ting-gstl-cooperation-pax-conflict-streaming-subscription-model

Will Tastosis be casting? Tasteless has been on top of the metagame lately... I learn a lot whenever I listen to him and his vast knowledge of the game and making spot on calls everytime. Kinda like Moletrap when he called out Ryung in a GSTL match when everyone thought that Ryung wouldn't be picked. I have clue as to why people feel the need to hate on Tasteless or Moletrap. Is it because those two have the most knowledge and understanding of SC2 out of all the casters out there? Or what is it, why do people start hating on Tasteless and Moletrap all of a sudden?

I wish GSTL could have Kevin Knocke announcing every match. That voice of his just brings another level of hype to every match.

Come on ZeNEX! It all banks on Life, Avenge, TREME and Pet. They've proved they have what it takes in KSL.
I think it's finally time to admit it might not be the year of Pet

I would absolutely love for there to be another fantasy league for this. I have not enjoyed a GSTL as much as the one that had the corresponding fantasy league.

It's too bad the format doesn't work for fantasy at all. The games should be really good though!

On the flip side when ProLeague comes to SC2, if they keep the broodwar PL format, we'll get nice long seasons of team league fantasy.

I am assuming they will keep the same schedule and do GSTL only on Fridays and Saturdays?

Why is it still best of nine? I don't mind having all these games, but I think it's better for the league if it's best of sevens until to the finals to implement more well thought out strategy with more reserve for fielding out X and Y players. Nonetheless, GSTL is the only thing worth watching for me, and I'm happy.

:D happy so see TL rocking the GSTL

...but I hope a real foreign team tries to compete in GSTL even when it`s really expensive to send players from all over the world to korea and chances vs all these SUPERhumans are slim to win .... even though I think mouz for example (as the best foreign team in my opinion) is hot as a team and they could show that not all white dudes suck .

Maybe if GOM pays a few planetickets for maximum PR around the world and top viewer nummers it`s possible...

I will watch TL fight in GSTL anyways so good luck guys

Sooooo tough for fnatic

If they manage to advance in their group behind IM, they will be in a group with Prime, MVP and SlayerS, !!

Almost forced to beat IM in order to get a group with Startales, FXO and Liquid (possibly)

Damn Liquid got a way easier road here.

I think Liquid can probably get through the first round as they're better then Zenex so just need to to edge out NSHS or Slayers.

The round after that I think their lack of depth will stop them advancing futher.

You make edging out NSHS or SlayerS sounds like an easy task :p. Though Liquid definitely has a chance with HerO and Teaja.


It won't be easy but Slayers now are nothing like they were and all their roster is so weak to Protoss. NSHS are also a great team with a lot more depth than Liquid but Hero and Taeja are better than any NSHS players so Liquid definitely have a chance to win.


Liquid doesn't have depth against a team like Slayers. Guys like Ryung and MMA can snipe Jinro and Taeja, and let's not get started on what MMA does to Zergs. That leaves Hero, but he can't carry a team alone.

Liquid is objectively better than Zenex I think, but NSHOSEO will be close. Jjakji is very dangerous, as are Sage and San. Liquid is in a lot better shape than Zenex, but they will have to pull out great games to get to round 2. I hope that Sheth and Ret come to Korea, as they are key players for Liquid.


Taeja will eat Jjakji alive though, and I think between him, hero and Zenio they can take out sage and San and whoever. Plus TLO is perhaps the single best player at creating snipe builds.


While i agree that Taeja is by far the most dangerous player against NSHoSeo, they've been pretty much 50/50 as of late, jjakji winning 2-0 in ipl 4 open bracket and they went 1-1 in series in the GSL ro32 this season. NSH has historically been struggling against strong terran players in the team league, so the Jjakji-Taeja matchup is pretty crucial, as both of the players are capable of pretty much clear the rest of the opposing teams roster.

fixed that one for you.

Fnatic has a lot of firepower now against IM, TSL and oGs

Cant wait to see Oz and aLive against MVP and NesTea, Polt and SymboL, TheSTC and ??? (Supernova left T_T)

Predicting SlayerS and Liquid and IM and fnatic to make it through.

Wonder what will happen now that ogs will apparently announce that they disbanded pretty soon...

Walkover or will they invite an other team? Maybe complexity will be able to play?

There was talk that some of the oGs members were going to attempt to start a new team. Just a rumor, but it's possible that team could join. I would have to assume a walkover if not. I don't think any other team has enough members in Korea for that.

If they absolutely needed a new team, it COULD be possible to get EG in. They could fly in thorzain sooner than expected, convince idra to go, and then theyd have 5 players

5 players is far to few, in that case they could get coL instead since they have nada, heart, sangho, ganzi and trimaster in Korea.

Thats why I said if they absolutely needed a new team. Plus no offense to col in any way but I'd sooner bet my money on Thorzain/idra/Puma/JYP/HuK then nada/heart/sangho/ganzi/trimaster
