This changed my whole point-of-view on bananas, this is the biggest banana announcement in the banana history of banana! How will this affect my life? Will I ever be the same person again if I eat that a banana that is not from where bananas usually come from... Who am I? Why are we here? This is quite shocking news, thank god the importance of that news was highlighted by the countdown timer on one of the biggest banana sites in the world, otherwise, it would have not been that important... I hope you understand my metaphor... | ||

GSL and OSL are not affected, other than they are working their schedules around each other and have new casting/broadcast partnerships. Team leagues are not affected. GSL and OSL are collectively WCS KR. MLG is making an "American GSL" for Americans. This is WCS NA. ESL is making a "European GSL" for Europeans. This is WCS EU. WCS KR, WCS NA and WCS EU provide players for WCS Finals. There are three WCS finals. Getting good results in the WCS finals gives you points. Additionally, other events like Dreamhack, Iron Squid and NASL, will also give you points. Top 16 in points after 3 WCS seasons are invited to the WCS Grand final are Blizzcon at the end of the year. All of the WCS KR, NA, and EU content will be broadcast free for 720p, every day. Thanks for summing it up. Was afraid for a moment that regular MLG/IEM would take a big blow in Korean representation. It might actually get better if one can earn additional WCS points outside the WCS events from them now. gogo Dreamhack | ||

If so, very exciting. The added exposure will make it a little easier for teams to acquire larger sponsors. It's happening, and should also happen the other way around which means we should get Tastosis casting OSL on GOMTV while Doa and Montecristo are casting on OGN. | ||

Would be fun to see a player qualify for WCS finals without competing in WCS regionals. | ||

Koreans do NOT need to move aboard, they can play in NA/EU leagues from Korea if they want. | ||

Well shit man...let's hope the Proleague stays at 5 bucks for 720p. Now this is some damn value. | ||

I thought that casting from replays to flesh out and reformat any problems and lag issues makes things much smoother? Especially since players can now hide their results from those jerks who want to spoil the games before they happen... | ||
