Could be a LoL thing with IM and MVP SC2 teams staying in GSTL. A possibility we should not discount.
Still an interesting find though True. Also, it would be hilariously sad for Gom to lose both GSTL finalists to KeSPA. Does being in one forbid the other? I don't think either team will join KeSPA, but if they do join Proleague, it's going to be so huge a commitment to stay competitive in the league that it'll be extremely difficult for them to be stretched thin to do both Proleague and GSTL. I don't think they could do both, a lot of times GSTL/Proleague would air at the same time or very very close and I doubt either organisation wants to spend a lot of time trying to schedule around that. Proleague line up: Mvp - captain Yonghwa First Kangho YoDa Ragnarok GSTL lineup: Nestea - captain MC Ruin Byul Fenix? They can get Madbull and jjakji to bolster their squad. Maybe Tassadar just to be funny. how in the world do you forget squirtle, wtf. Still not used to him being on IM apparently
4 7's. :O
Also would playing in PL and GSTL be mutually exclusive?

Just spoke to MVP's coach. Said there will be another season of GSTL starting in "1 month after" so GSTL isnt dead yet

GSTL Season 1 lasted 4 months
Kespa-Esf trading embargo ends in October
Still no announcement when next PL season starts
IM and MVP in both GSTL and PL could both happen

I'm willing to bet it will be the final season, at the end of the year eSF will disband and the good teams will move onto proleague and kespa. GOM will go more into dota/wot/sf2 and only host WCS KR(with blizzard paying out all prizes) as their sc2 content. Seeing their level of commitment to sc2 lately makes me think they're about done with it, we don't even get to see all the code a games for the past two seasons.

just more HYPE like EG-TL and when they do poorly it'll break fans heart
Can't see it as hype when IM is still arguably the best team in the world and MVP has been tried and true already in terms of Korean-level team leagues for awhile now.
Neither of which EG-TL was.

Blizzard games do run on macs at least, so that part could work.

Hybrid Proleague ended September 2012. Current PL season Started December. 3 month break. But Hybrid PL was a short season so we can expect the next PL off seasons to be slightly longer.
This season ends in August. 4 months later is November/December.
GSTL seasons last 3-4 months. It re-starts, presumably, in August. Ends November/December.
Seasons line up.

I dont mind. I watch a pretty good amount of starcraft but almost never tune into gstl. Its like a dead league to me. Not very exciting anymore when you can watch proleague.

SPL usually starts in around Dec/Jan and would overlap GSTL either ways. If one team plans to join KeSPA, I dont think they would participate in the GSTL
Oh and I certainly do not look forward to GSTL if it's still the same as season 1 aka 2 matches per week with countless of allkills. Even worse if GOM tries to fill the void with more "partner" teams and shit
|
next season of GSTL is bo9 in the regular season by the way, so it should lead to less all kills.

expected :D It will be huge step for LGIM

If only GSTL set all its vods free in 480 ( even in 360 ).

with LG joining in.
its a matter of time before the big business start joining for PL again for either LoL or SC2.
I hope Hwaseung and Hite are contemplating on joining esports.
As for GSTL:
Prime
FXO
Startale
Axiom-Acer
LG-IM - Rumored to go to KeSPA PL
MVP - Rumored to go to KeSPA PL
NsHoseo - Dead
Azubu - Team's longevity in question
Looks like trouble in paradise.

There's been rumor that Prime's the next to flop

At this point GSTL may just become the B league, and a farm for talents to join a bigger team.

I think it's only an underconstructing banner. Nothing at all.

Keep in mind FXO and Axiom/Acer are not part of the eSF governing body.
the eSF governing body is: Prime, Startale, LG-IM, MVP, NsHoseo
This would effectively kill that governing body as all that would stand is Startale if Prime is the team to flop.
If Prime does indeed fall, that's a huge blow to the GSTL and likely discontinued for 2014, thus that would put OGN to create a monopolized market for SC2 like they've been subtly trying to establish and killing off their competition sharing WCS duties.
I have the popcorn ready, I'm interested in what's going to unfold.

May happen anyway once the eSF-KeSPA trade lock expires in October.
