So:

• 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.

Finally a return back to hybrid league!

Not quite. It's still just two separate leagues that happen to be broadcast back-to-back on on certain days.

I don't quite understand why the format between bw and sc2 is so different though tbh.

The BW pros were all too old to understand the SC2 format

I think they're just testing the waters because they've never done BW.

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

Maybe they'll hire him to cast again.

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.
