I'd like Bo7 with 2 archon matches!
Can't wait how the high level players will play the new units, and who can find out new exciting strategies first.

well new game means current player skill may not mean much for LotV so its not very unlikely that the big4 wont all finish top4

Proleague took 10 months this year. If the 2016 season is anything like that, the meta/players will have stabilized long before the playoff spots are determined.

I think one archon match would be enough, sort of like 2v2s in BW PL IIRC?

2016 will be another wonderful year to watch Kespa elephants dominate the world.

Samsung could at least be top 4 if Solar didn't underperform so hard in proleague. You'd think a player with 3 premier titles in HotS could get a winrate better than 26%.

clarifying some things here

With Legacy of the Void on the horizon, the first iteration of a LotV Proleague was confirmed on-stream during today's SK Telecom Proleague Grand Finals. The chairman of IeSF (confirmation needed) merrily confirmed the continuation of Proleague into the new year, thanking the fans for their unending support of the league and stating that professional Starcraft II in Korea could not have gone on without them.


he used to be chairman of kespa but resigned because there was a new rule stating he couldn't be a president of a government organization and hold a district position (or something like that) at the same time. i dont actually think he's the chairman of iesf but he still has a lot of power within kespa.

The chairman also promised that there will be additional KeSPA Cups going forward, at least one (supposedly one yet to be played in 2015) but presumably more.


there is the lol kespa cup next month but no sc2 one for this year.

The chairman super vaguely implied that "other" exciting things are on the horizon and that next year will be "even more exciting than this year" - it could be smooth PR talk to roll off his announcement of 2016 Proleague, but given the addition of Starleague this year and the apparent growth of SC2 in Korea, maybe they have a big sponsor-related announcement to make eventually?

Has SSL been confirmed for 2016 as well?


More or less, at least. I've not heard anything to the contrary, but I'm fuzzy on whether or not it was explicitly confirmed to be continuing into 2016. I think so.


SPOTV confirmed the 2016 SSL at the end of Seasons 3.

Ah yeah different maps would be cool too.
So now we have :

Double blind lineups.

Make it so.

Wouldn't that make it kinda random? Maybe i simply misunderstand though


no, I'm talking about the format that they took after the savior match fixing scandal, where neither team revealed their player on each map until the last minute.

They also mentioned an amateur tournament on stream, didn't they? Would be great to have some new names coming into the professional scene, wonder if it's going to be anything like Courage tourneys

Maybe I'm wrong but Bo7 sounds bad to me. Bo5 is fine, we get to see the very top players, not the B teamers, and the matches are already quite long to watch every monday and tuesday. Going to Bo7 will result in lower level matches, longer days and will require more decent players to skip travelling to other events because they have to work on proleague.

Trust me, Bo7 will not result to lower level matches. It will lead to way more excitement

I can assure you that it is not.

also it puts a big dent on any matchfixing operation.

Bo7 provides too many games IMO. Current format is the best. And also Archon Mode is not for pro scene IMO.

bo5 is stupid and allows for a team to be carried by 2 good players (what a depth of line up!)
