This is so awesome, god damn. Even without knowing all the details I feel sure that this will be for the better.

Gotta agree with some of the others - strange that China didn't get more out of this, but the opposite. I assume as well that it would be strategically a good choice to hand China a bit more.

I'll take this instead of receiving nothing. 3 years is a sweet deal.

Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

The 3 year deal is so huge for starcraft 2, I almost can't put it into words.

So stoked for this, looks like I’ll be making another pilgrimage to Montreal this fall!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

IEM and Dreamhack in CS:GO is amazing. I expect the same quality with SC2. Only thing I'm worried about is the online betting and obvious 322 that is so rampant in CS:GO online tournaments.

Is the online weekly tournament with circuit points currently exclusive to EU server (for now)?

Are other weekly tournaments welcomed to apply for circuit points? e.g. Kung Fu Cup

Apollo confirms that the online weekly cups will be for all regions:

This is awesome news.

I feel like the 11 Foreigners to 9 Koreans is strange and that China is getting screwed with only 1 slot exactly when the Chinese community is reviving Team Leagues by itself. I mean, two for LatAm but one for China? Cham and Khelazur will be happy...

SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

I jokingly called that there's not gonna be a WCS in 2020 during the blizzcon.
Gonna make another call here. ESL is gonna assess SC2 during those 3 years and then gonna make a decision whether to kill off competitive SC2 or not. Lets face it. When the old guardsare finally all gone in GSL, there won't be a meaningful pro scene in Korea any more when it comes to SC2. Blizzard is probably thanking their lucky stars that they won't have to bare all the blame when pro scene dies off. If we're lucky ESL will extend the agony by 2 more years after the initial 3.

But being blessed by almost 14 to 16 years of SC2 pro scene is already wonderful in itself. All things dies.
