Do we know if it'll be invite-only or if it'll have qualifiers?

Maybe i did not understand it correctly, but blizzard even said they rise the prizepool for korea?
How does this fit in then?


WCS EU has had sponsors too (and probably has some now too) in Roccat and others. I guess Blizzard pays a set amount and if GOM or ESL wants to raise production values or whatever, they can put in their own money or find sponsors.

Hm yeah makes sense, didn't think about that^^

I think it's the latter. While I don't see it as much, I guess gamers = play a lot = use energy drinks = good idea to sponsor? lol.

If you mean about the year-end tournament, presumably it'll be the same last year where the 8 players qualified will be the finalists from each of the four tournaments during the year (presumably the 3 GSL seasons and the World Championship event).

Gotta love Hot6ix, most loyal sponsor GOM ever had. Don't forget aside from multiple GSL seasons, they also sponsored GSTL (and I think they separately sponsor Team MVP IIRC?)

For some very useless definitions of 'bad.'
