I can't wait to be directly on GomTV with Code S, the epitome of eSports championship skill tests that most of us SC2 people have learned to come and love. I didn't even watch last premier league because it wasn't code S.
KeSPA isn't even OGN, the TV Channel in Korea that was broadcasting and organizing it.
Can't wait for the season to start I think we might see some of the best plays yet this season
I really like the pokemon comparison and the article as a whole! A little nitpicking: how dare you say that Zapdos is better than Articuno! ... the only think he does better is actually countering the other two legendary beasts due to his lightning type, but Articuno is tons better against any other pokemon but Mewtwo and Mew... unless he freezes them!
I don't get why they alternate...wouldn't it be better if GSL did WCS and OSL was an individual tournament like Dreamhack and MLG just for koreans? They don't even have tournaments apart from Proleague which doesn't even give WCS points. And it doesn't make sense that people like Parting, Flash & co are so low on WCS points (Parting just won WCG if I am not mistaken, still no points). I clearly understand that it's difficult to organize everything, especially with so many partners, but I hope Blizzard encourages 2 or 3 tournaments to be played in korea in the future. In my opinion OSL should be a tier1 tournament while GSL takes care of the WCS considering that OSL gives special prizes as well which makes more sense and that their format is different from WCS America/Europe which doesn't make sense. And everybody would be happy about the Bo1 too
Also, if koreans get more tournaments in Korea then they don't need to travel that much which gives more opportunities for foreigners (and more money as well) allowing Starcraft2 to grow better.
And what about the MSL, is that just for Broodwar?

Do you also hate kittens, rainbows and vacation?
No, but I would be reluctant to catch kittens in the wild, store them in a timelord-tech dimensioned ball and let the fight each to deatch, even if there will be an infinite amount of rainbows involved.
Also, I spend most of my life on vacation, so your argument is invalid.

They don't fight to the death, just until KO, so don't worry
