Keep in mind, "existing" only means until this season of GSL is over. Who knows what will become of WCS Korea next year. My bet is that there will be some big shake ups. But given Blizzard's apparent newly positive attitude towards SC2 and SC2 eSports with LotV right around the corner, I have to imagine they will have big plans come WCS 2016 Season 1, likely the first season of LotV.

This makes me both nervous and excited about the future. I hope everything remains as normal, but with higher free stream quality. That'd be rad.

No matter how good BW is supposed to be, it hurts my eyes to watch it. It looks like something that would run on a Sinclair Spectrum.

Hopefully this is good news for SC2 but I do not know what it really means.

I could say the same thing about sc2 and it being too cluttered to notice anything.

What does Afreeca do besides streaming services? I assume it is a small portion of some Korean Megaconglomerate.


Nothing much. AfreecaTV earned 4.3m$ in the first half of this year itself, just by subscribers' donations and ads.

*FIY, the whole sales revenue is 30.9m$.

Though it is known that AfreecaTV is planning to expand their business into shopping and entertainment, we don't know the specifics yet.

So, what happens to the future of the GSL? Isn't it required to be broadcasted to twitch.tv?

Its also required to be broadcast in free HD. Gom doesn't follow the rules apparently.

I would miss the history of GSL but most of the really good folks left GOM a while ago (Seeker and John are the notable exceptions) and I can't say that I approve of their spending decisions. Also, SpoTV is doing great things for SC2 in Korea right now so I would be lying if I said that I thought taking the funds from GSL and putting them into Starleague wouldn't be an improvement.

Agreed, spotv having been doing such an excellent job bringing the popularity back as you can see by the audience growing tremendously than before. If gsl did end up crashing, i'd prefer there to be 2 tournaments instead of just one still. Theres a possibility that ogn's starleague might take that roll.

I don't see this as any indication of GSL going away, rather its the studio thats going to be the setting for a lot of different events.

This is surprising. Have to wait and see if there is any big changes.
What happened to the world of tanks tournament thing? I guess this move is because the venue is not really used after the games they had didn't have good return?

Should be interesting to see what this results in, yeah. As long as GSL doesn't end up going anywhere though I doubt it'll be anything too bad!
