I'm going to say yes, on twitch.tv. I'm not going to be buying a GSL ticket if I can watch on twitch for free, though. I think the money Blizzard is giving GOM and OGN is to make up for them not selling tickets for these seasons. I would expect refunds from gomtv if they are doing free 720p on twitch for gsl. | ||

I'm hoping if it's free maybe they'll give everyone who bought a ticket a coupon for a free ticket to the non WCS season of GSL if that happens | ||

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 the summarization, seems accurate to a dot. So the fears of Koreans dominating the scene is still founded because they can attend other tournaments and accumulate points towards the WCS finals. At least the independent tournaments are still connected to WCS so it won't leave them out. | ||

They need 4 finals for the Hot6 Cup (the new blizzard cup thing) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=406011 Gamespot article says Another season of GSL Code S will not take place until OSL is over, and act as the third and final WCS Korea season before the Global Finals. I forgot to count the one that already happened, so probably three seasons with OSL acting as the fourth you mentioned. | ||

A: The two broadcasters will take turns holding the WCS korea tourneys. OGN will receive feed from GomTV, but use theri own casters. | ||

To be fair there was a lot of other reasons why the TSL4 flopped. I don't like online play either as much. Look at the fantastic crowd in France for one. Anyway, nothing really changes. The Koreans will still dominate and I don't see how Europeans let alone Americans will improve that much compared to team games like LoL and DotA where it takes actual teamwork and communication to execute. Dignitas and CLG EU (now EG) learned a ton on their trips to Asia. | ||

The only difference is that teams can split up over different regions in SC2. And you'll get the Koreans their work visas? Why do you think Koreans in foreigner teams who come to the US all go back after 3 months? | ||
