Too bad, this new format seems great, and there is still a good prize pool...

Tbh I'm surprised Prime pulled out. They must be in desperate straits, given that, uh, they don't even have an LoL team yet and are not guaranteed to get a sponsor even through KeSPA.

This is silly, there are plenty of other teams that could have participated. EG-TL perhaps? Or both separately?

I'm surprised Prime pulled out also. They're roster was already the 2nd weakest in GSTL, and too terran-heavy. Not to mention they came dead last, so I can't see them faring well in SPL.

Maybe if Creator, MKP, and Byun all simultaneously return to prime-form (dat pun) it could happen like when they won their first GSTL. They didn't seem too good at fostering new players.

soo...

sc2 is almost dead in korea, from what I hear? this move is like the worst possible thing. GSTL is now basically nonexistent, and without proleague to look forward, things look really grim.

it's not dead it's just spread out right now, we need all the korean sc2 teams to be in 1 teamleague, or both teamleagues

thing is, will there be another sc2 proleague? and if there will be one, it will take at least half a year until it comes around again. in that time, basically most koreans will sit on their butts doing almost nothing, because there are only so many places in the WCS.

So in GSTL we have

- Two teams without a sponsor
- Three eSF teams
- Previous season's champion and runner up leaving the tournament

How can this be anything but terrible? This is just, terrible. It's not even like Proleague is starting up again any time soon so IM MVP and Prime could have played in this before joining Kespa for 2014. I suppose the logical conclusion is that they didn't have a choice and had to leave in order to survive.


Terrible for GSTL? Sure.
For Korean SC2 scene? I don't think so, unifying the scene is the most important thing and this is (assuming IM, MVP and Prime really join SPL) very important step forward!
And with the Kespa opening up, I also believe GOM will actually join them in the end and the unified teamleague will start from next year!


It depends on if and when KeSPA will do a SC2 Proleague again.

While a CJ, KT, SKT, Khan, Stars, Jin Air, Prime, LG-IM, and MVP Proleague sounds fucking awesome, I'm pretty sure the act of not participating for all three teams is directly related to League of Legends and not SC2.


Yes I am pretty convinced it is true - they only go there because of LoL.

Imo, it is really shaping up towards unified SC2 scene.
There were rumors that SC2 Proleague is delayed - that would make sense. Wait till GSTL is over, let also the other (interested) teams join SPL, GOM join Kespa and start the completely unified SC2 Proleague with like 12 teams sometimes around February/March next year with GOM and OGN hosting (or maybe GOM + SPOTV and OGN LoL only).
Sounds awesome? I think it does!

You know, looking at the prize money, format, and stuff like best ceremony, the actual system of this season looks amazing.

It's just the lack of teams that makes it sad.

Yeah the format + ceremony stuff is cool.

http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?topicid=302140&cid=0&kind=8

map pool was released


Fruitland TL
Number of Players: 2
Map Creator: Semmo (김선우)

[image loading]

Description:

- The map is decorated with delicious fruits. That’s all you need to know! Just kidding.

- Lemons near the center of the map act as destructive rocks and when destroyed, harvesters can collect
the lemon slices for 500 minerals each
. These lemons will re-spawn in 5 minutes.

- The battles will be chaotic and the players will try to collect their lemon slices and deny their opponents.

Note that, in the future, lemon slices are worth 500 minerals.

Poll: Is this the greatest map to have ever graced SC2?

I've been waiting FOREVER for something this cool! (26)

I'm so excited for this map

I just wish there were more teams playing.

Innovation vs SOUL matches should be good though.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

Woah this GSTL will be really shitty and unprestigious. I woulda preferred it if they just delayed or skipped it until they had a better plan.

it's hard for them to foster new players though due to lack of prominence (new players would rather join other teams) as well as no pay/practice conditions etc.

If MVP, Prime and LG-IM were in Proleague I think I'd have a nerdgasm.
But I'm off creep... and so I slow down, what are hellions doing here? I don't belong here...

The other way around actually, this is shaping up to be the best GSTL (for the people who are not strict fans of IM, MVP and Prime ^^)

Im so sad for the SC scene in korea. I have no problem with LoL but I would much prefer and RTS game dominating the scene. Now we have a Team League with 5 teams, 2 of which are problematic, while LoL is filling Footbal stadiums.

Also, Innovation will probably all-kill everybody.

That fruit map seems pretty interesting. Idk about those 500 min lemons though.
At least we get a map with actual color instead of grey, black, or brown.
