so 2013 gsl season 2 becomes wcs kr 2013 season 1, osl becomes wcs kr 2013 season 2 and gsl season 3 2013 becomes wcs kr 2013 season 3. 2013 gsl season 4 is independent of wcs?

I think you're totally wrong, dreamhack has built up a reputation and you can't get people to turn away from it just by announcing something else that has a lot of money. It's not like League where there was nothing built up without the developer before LCS. Dreamhack is still going to get an insane number of viewers for their live event. It's a brand that people won't ignore, just like MLG and GSL. | ||

that means 3 gsl's (if you count osl as one too) cant be the norm of 160k each, cause every region will be equal + the season finals + the grand final. that means less money overall for koreans through "their" tourneys | ||

I will wait until I see more information, but I will definitely say that anything which dilutes the prestige of Code S participation is a stupid move. | ||

Say goodbye to taking pictures with SaSe and Stephano in America. Say goodbye to MKP vs DRG finals at MLG. Totally sucks. | ||

I wonder how this announcement will affect tournaments. We already know that GSL is "no more" as GSL and OSL are the same now, and there will only be 3 more GSL/OSL seasons, instead of 3 GSL seasons and for example, 3 separate OSL seasons. At least we still have GSTL and ProLeague? | ||

Regular MLG is separate and now gives the additional incentive of WCS points (just less of them). We could still see the MLG regulars at Anaheim | ||
