Phew!

Curious that the announcement video focuses so heavily on Koreans vs foreigners with all the rumours about foreigners not playing GSL. Hopefully it's a hint that it won't be the case.

Gorgeous news, gorgeous announcement trailer!
Sounds like Korea is looking for new blood to re:generate
Wonder if they are ready to fight back in 2019 to become Top of the World again...

I'm planning a trip to Seoul in April, but I couldn't find out any exact dates for the GSL tournaments. Does anyone know where I can find those out or have they not been released yet?


From the current schedule I have, you'll be able to see the GSL nearly any week you go in April, except for maybe the last weekend of April.

Easy to be top of the world when you kick out everyone else without telling them.

Yeah it's going to be a bit anticlimactic when none of the usurpers actually play in the tournament.


They will at least be able to play GSL vs. The World.

Does anyone know an even more exciting StarCraft 2 hype video than the one for this GSL? The only video that comes close for me is the BlizzCon 2013 one that ends with Kaelaris saying “If he does not win this, he is OUT” over footage of Bomber raising the trophy.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

A vision of the GOM player flashed through my mind hearing that. Those were the days! Excellent video.

Why does the promo give me the feeling that this might be the last year of GSL as we know it? Using the song from the first GSL makes it seem like hey're trying to bookend the tournament, and the "It's not over yet" line is particularly ominous. Remember at the last Proleague finals when the commentators were dropping hints that the tournament wouldn't be coming back? I get the same feeling now, especially with the late announcement and the tournament starting a month late.

To be honest I get the same feeling. Rather than hype that promo gives me a sense of dread.

Guys they've reused that song plenty of times over the years. I pops up a lot in finals especially. I wouldn't look too much into it
