Also the complaints of koreans playing in NA/EU is a bit silly.

If you don't like it fucking get off your butt and practice. The guys who come over and dominate will do it because they practice very hard not because they are from Korea

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.

The free broadcast at 720 is absolutely awesome. Thanks for that.

Online play is so hard to hype now. Look only at how TSL4 kinda flopped.

It's difficult to gather everyone in EU or NA into a place for months.

ro16 and beyond will be offline in studio.

Guys, correct me if im wrong, regular season gives players points so they can get in region finals, and then they fight for a spot in the world finals in the regional finals?

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


The more and more I hear, the more and more I think Axiom's going to play NA and go to MLG. I think it just makes sense.

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

Honestly the best way to think about it is like this:

Weekend tourneys are not affected.
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.

Which Koreans are living in EU now?

ForGG.

I'm still bummed about GSL only having two seasons this year. Woah, what a change.

There was an article posted today that they are having 4 seasons. It seems like they just wont all be WCS events. 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.

Q: How will the the Korean broadcasts work for OGN/GomTV?

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

After thinking about it for a little bit, I prefer Code B, Code A and Code S to challenger, premier and whatever. We already think about players in those terms anyway, it differentiates SC2 from LCS, and all it does is remind me of that weird convoluted end of IPTL.

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.

Exclusivity is a really big fucking mistake - the model to study is tennis, goddamnit.

How about soccer? A pretty popular sport in Europe. A lot of countries have thriving national leagues, but many get smashed in champions league. Seems like it could work very well.

The stars themselves are not region restricted. You don't have to watch only English players if you live in England.

Exactly as in this new tournament format for SC2 where Korean stars can train in NA or EU. 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?
