• Broodwar gets an 8-man/10-man round robin tournament with play-offs where players are qualified by fan-votes • SC2 gets a league system. - SC2 SSL Premier is a 10-man round robin tournament with play-offs where players are qualified for from Challenge or last seasons Premier - SC2 SSL Challenge is a two 5-man groups round robin tournament with open qualifiers Sounds awesome, really glad this is happening. And it seems like they want to continue this for multiple years. | ||

I mean i get that they don't wanna do the whole qualifier thing because for maximum viewer numbers you really need TBLS in your tournament. Also for ASL there were like 500 people trying to qualify, that's just so much work. Well doesn't matter too much i guess, i am hyped for both events  Still a bit sad because someone like Rain has pretty much no chance to get in now  | ||

He's a big name in SC2 but not really in BW. In a popularity vote like this he's unlikely to get top 10 or better. | ||
