It's Proleague Media Day today and KeSPA has announced some details regarding the league for 2015. The season will be sponsored by SK Telecom.
Format
The Opening Day will be on December 22, 2014 featuring Samsung Galaxy Khan vs CJ Entus.
The season will continue with a Best of 5 format. There will be 4 Rounds, each with a round playoffs. Basically the same as last season.
Round 1 will most probably use the Season 3 map pool. Future Rounds will use a different map pool.

Rosters
Sourcee have told us that they will release the final line ups soon. There is already a preliminary roster but chnages could occur. Should be announced soon.
Other news
KeSPA President Jeon Byong Heon has resigned as president and will serve as honorary chairman from now on. This is largely due to a new Korean law stating that Korean MPs cannot hold other positions while serving their term.
More details as the event progresses.

So it's bo5 again. Well it was fine last season and with so much SC2 content next year, they have to keep the time slot small I guess.

Well, how are you gonna rule the Terran Dominion and manage Kespa at the same time?
|
Same prize money as last season, I guess we can't complain about that.
|
Alright, no change in tournament payout. But it's always been about the title more than the money.
|
Oh to be in Korea. Oh I am. Thank you Kespa.

Those Samsung jackets are NOT made for posing on a stage.

I hope we get some information that isn't just "it's the same as last year"
|
Confirmed: Yoe's partnership is not in title. No combined logos like Axiom-Acer or EGTL.
|
Wait, Wolf says it starts later than last year at 7pm KST, but isn't that the same?
