- Format reverted to that of a pre-announced team style, instead of revealing the team on the spot what? why, the change was made to fucking prevent shit like the scandal to happen again. otherwise I'm glad it will be a full season and not one split into two like last year. | ||

I'm not sure if it was in the fomos article, but the reasoning is kind of explained in the Chinese one. They mentioned that previous format was stopped because of the scandal, and even though the current format has its own merits and attractiveness, it's hard for the players to prepare. The main reason to take the risk to switch back is to make for better viewing to stir up the Korean Starcraft 2 market. It lets the player prepare properly, and also allows fans to choose which matches they want to watch. Kespa said they'll take precautions, like getting teams to regulate more, having that out-of-game training thing that they already have (Not sure what it's called, but you probably know what it is if you follow Kespa teams), and also allowing other organisations to supervise and investigate. | ||

Well if the format is winners league doesn't that just mean that the first players will be revealed? I don't see too much harm in that. Too bad though, i preferred proleagues old format to the winners league format. All kill situations can be fun but they can also be a biiit boring at times.. Then again i could just be misinterpreting it completely. | ||

Both the SK Planet Proleague of this past year and the Shinhan Bank Proleagues were often abbreviated to SPL, so I assume that the SWL abbreviation can still hold up this coming year with the SC2 Proleague and accompanying Winner's League. | ||

I guess no one would dare to pull that shit again Anyway, 2013 Proleague shapes up to be really great. 4 proleagues, 2 winnerleagues, like 5 whole "new" maps, one-year long race, preannounced lineups for better quality. Cant wait! | ||

Cant wait! its not 4 proleagues and 2 winnersleagues, the whole thing adds up to the same playoffs, they are rounds. you don't have to be TL staff to know an FPL season is coming. | ||

The "S" might mean Shinhan Bank or something, which was the old sponsor for Proleague for a few years, back when they had the all-kill portion each year. The Brood War Liquipedia has an article about this. I assume that the "Shinhan Bank Winner's League" got shortened to "SWL," which I guess has become synonymous with the all-kill format. u r right.just like GSTL's format. KOF means "The King of Fighters" | ||
