Situation is much like ESL and that other company where the other company does Challenger League only and ESL does Premier League. | ||

Who is running/producing Premiere League (Code S) this season? OGN, under the name of the Auction All-Kill OnGameNet StarLeague 2013. Who is running/producing Challenger League (Code A) this season? GOM. Source Why? Because OGN has a packed schedule already, so they can't afford to manage and broadcast all of Code S and Code A this season. Who is casting Code S this season? Primarily DoA and Montecristo, with an alternative GOM stream featuring Tasteless and Artosis. Who is casting Code A this season? Primarily Wolf and Khaldor, probably with an alternative OGN stream featuring DoA and Montecristo. What is the format of Code S? I read somewhere a few weeks back that the OSL would be the same format as the GSL from now on, and not the traditional OSL format with DT Ro32 and RR Ro16 all bo1s, but now I don't know. One or the other. What is the format of Code A? Same as always. Why? Because that's what was agreed upon by Blizzard, GOM and OGN regarding how WCS KR would be run. Who handles the Qualifiers (Code B)? GOM, with an english casual cast on-site like there was last season, again provided by Wolf and Khaldor. Source What about the season after this? It goes back to 100% GOM run and is back under the GSL name, just like it was this most recent season. What about GSTL, SPL and the other leagues like OGN The Champions and World of Tanks Asia Open? They are all completely unaffected. Will there be a 4th GSL this year? They promised four! No, one of the promised GSLs has been replaced by this OSL, as part of the agreement made with Blizzard and OGN regarding the running of WCS Korea. GOM's plans to do 4 GSLs was before the details/arrangements for WCS were made. Why do the Koreans kinda act like they are two completely different leagues? Well presumably it's because of the long history of the OSL/GSL being different things. That's why this OSL specifically is the only thing that counts toward OGN's Golden Mouse awards, and why this season does not count toward GOM's NesTea award. Any questions? | ||

I mean I paid for all the GSL this year I hope this new agreement doesn't mean I paid for one less GSL in the end. There will only be 3 GSLs this year. The 3rd GSL has been replaced in part but the OSL; I've edited my post above. | ||

Also then people in Korea would be able to get two times the WCS points, potentially making the WCS world finals all Korea contestants. Unless they decrease or make one of them invalid sources of WCS points, in which case why would players play in them when it's already harder competition. Each event could take turn to be counted for WCS. So if OSL Summer is in the circuit, GSL Summer may just be a non-ranking Starleague, vice-versa for the fall season. Provided that they dont have trouble finding sponsor on their own, that would be the best case scenario imo | ||

Gom and OGN probably already have a hard enough time trying to schedule everything with their other programs (i.e. GSTL, WoT, LoL. etc.). Adding another tournament into the mix won't make things any better. | ||

Well played Gom, you made me pay more than 20 dollars a GSL this year ... It is kinda strange that you can do whatever you want in Esports despite having made people pay already. | ||

Presumably it's because of tensions between GOM and OGN (which still exist to a very significant degree, according to DoA) and a history of the OSL/MSL being different things. That's why this OSL specifically is the only thing that counts toward OGN's Golden Mouse awards, and why this season does not count toward GOM's NesTea award. Any questions? I wouldn't interpret it that way, creating extra tension between GomTV and OGN. The actual explanation is that Blizzard is throwing GomTV and OGN a bone by allowing them to keep their Code S/Starleague branding even though they have forced them to work within the WCS framework when running individual leagues. Koreans don't act like it's two completely different leagues - it's two leagues with long histories continuing their legacies within the WCS system. | ||

Still, they could give us something in return. I don't know, maybe at least free VODs for WCS finals. But I guess it's completely useless to discuss this over here. | ||
