Wow, wow, wow.

Bye bye GSL I guess. Damn, that sucks. But they have super high operating costs...

It would be so sad if there was no GSL in 2016. I really like the current situation with the GSL and the SSL and I really hope it doesn't change.

from day 1, I had the perception of GOM as a bubble that was due to burst.

I don't know why, but they never ever seemed like a 'grounded, serious and stable company'... It always seemed like a millionare's fad.. somebody pumping money into a un-optimized system that's not self-sustainable.

It's funny and sad at the same time how everyone is just trying to look for the best for himself with this news. BW fans are like "Yeah for more BW, who cares about GSL" and SC2 fans are like "Screw BW, it's ded gaem, keep the GSL alive".

Can't we just enjoy both and go along with whatever happens ?

Even though the studio now belongs to Afreeca, if they don't need the time slot they can totally continue renting to GOM for the GSL even if they don't do any SC2 themselves at Afreeca. Also, the GSL could move again.

So be happy about more BW, don't mourne the GSL just quite yet.
StarCraft II for ever.

Does that mean tastosis will need a new job -- well not necessarily job-entirely, i guess what will happen to them?

Ohh wow that is a really good point, I'm sure they will be solid though, they should be able to find an awesome job in ESPORTS no problem.

If GSL comes to an end I will probably cry. Even though S2SL is much better run an usually more watchable, GSL just has such a historic legacy to it at this point that I'd hate to see it go. 5 years ago I would ask myself "do I want to stay up till 3am to watch GSL?" and often the answer was yes. I still ask that sometimes today.

Yes, we have been running events along side the GSL for the past month with more events planned throughout season 3. If the GSL participates in the 2016 Season, I do not imagine scheduling to be an issue. Don't forget Mr. Chae works in our eSports department and I'm sure he is more than willing to work around the GSL (as well as others who wish to use the studios).

I think if it came down to it they could easily go back to Brood War. It would be incredible for the foreign Brood War scene to have such high-level casters and would attract record numbers. That's assuming that has to happen though.

They cast some other games too, been casting heroes of the storm, they don't have all their eggs in the SC2 basket.

If gsl ended I would probably stop watching s2, proleague is awesome but the prestige of being a gsl champion , all the history and tastosis make it the most important thing to me

GSL is the most prestigious tournament for SC2 of all time and I have loved it since I started playing Sc2.
I will be very sad if GSL goes ;(
Have a nice day ;)
