DoA and Montecristo are LoL casters. Good luck to them, I guess - will still be watching and hoping for a good performance by them. Shame there's no kaelaris/bitterdam...
The group stage stadium also appears slightly underwhelming.
Why is OGN hosting this over GOM? It's clear that GOM is the well-known brand that everyone from around the World is familiar with and happy with. OGN's foreign production has been very poor for the events I have watched.

Disappointed with almost everything about this...

I'm guessing there's some ridiculous political reason for not having any GOM casters there, how stupid.

User was warned for this post

I love the warning for what is probably the real reason

I didn't quite know what to expect, since this event is organized by Blizzard instead of GOM, but the lack of any GomTV casters will be hurting them. If there is GSL style groups, there are a lot of matches to be cast, so there should be room for 2-4 more casters.

DOA is all right, montecristo is ok and Day[9] and Apollo are quite good, but none match the level of Tastosis of Wolfdor.

I hope more details about the format will be released soon and I hope for a video-feed broadcast by GOM.

I wouldn't be surprised if next season finals will be held at gamescom (ESL) as it coincides with when Blizzard wants their season finals (24/25 August)

Would love it, I'm going to Gamescom this year!

Day9 and Apollo is definitely my favorite caster duo. They are both such amazing analytical and entertaining casters! So pumped for them.

I think nobody has realised in the OP ou can read the WCS Season 2 KR will be held by OGN by the name of "Starleague". This WCS finals are only warmup for them before broadcast the Season 2. Dont know whats going to happen with GomTV, but I am so happy to not see the tastosis cast and their "expect gg any second...."

Before I get lynched any further....

There'll be a GOMtv cast as well. It'll be the regular casters casting remotely in the same way that Monte and I have been casting WCS Korea on OGN. (for at least 5 people. Sometimes maybe even 10!) The entire WCS situation has been awkward for all the casters here. Trust me. It's all out of our control though. We're just casters. It's going to be a good weekend of games regardless.

I like DOA, but i just find it strange that OGN is the one producing the WCS GSL finals.... Is GSL going to produce the OSL finals next year???

i just dont get it.

The original article didn't talk about the details but I believe it will be standard GSL style group into single elimination playoffs since it's a 16 man tournament.

Map pool is as usual, no fancy new ones. Whirlwind, Bel'shir Vestige, Akilon Wastes, Star Station, Neo Planet S, Newkirk Precinct and Daybreak.

Newkirk Precinct wat. Seriously, newkirk? T_T

Anyways, can't wait for the WCS S1 finals! If theres going to be a GOMTV stream, I'll be sure to tune into that as well :D

Well I guess we will get the Tastosis vs Day9/Apollo battle to see who gets the viewers, it will be such a weird experience with two sets of casters casting the same three day tournament. Should still be amazing.

They are producing the WCS season 1 finals (with people from all three regions) nothing to do with the current GSL season.
