So sick, great news.

Man this format and everything is awesome. They even managed to secure WCS points, seems like 2017 is not set in stone after all.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That info-graph could use some work. I didn't really understand it after a while. It might just be because the format is really unique and switches up each phase.
Someone call down the Thunder?

Why do Korean tournaments insist on calling promotion tournament things like 'Fast Lane' and 'Super Week'??

Best news in a long time. This is awesome.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Awesome news. The 2017 prize money pool of 221,550,000 KRW is roughly 196,000 USD which is nice. Also, Valdes and Rapid are casting this, so what's not to like.

If you don't make S1 Challenger, you can't make Premier in Season 2 and can't get WCS points. that seems a bit unfair

I may be missing something, but I don't see where the casters are listed. I would be very keen to know whether there's an English BW cast, and if so, who is doing it.

The main tournament (SSL Premier) has the same format as Proleague, that's easy enough to understand. But they really went mental with all the "Fast Lane" and "Challenge" stuff.

Also there's money on the line for every bo3 match, that's cool.

If there was no money on the line for each match, this format would be hell.
Go through Challenger 5man group into a 6man group into 4man group to qualify into a 10man group for a chance at $1000
