AfreecaTV has announced that Super Tournament 1 will begin on March 18th. Due to concerns regarding COVID-19, the Super Tournament will be held without a live studio audience. Players who finish top four in the Super Tournament will receive seeds in GSL Season 1.
Originally scheduled to begin in February, the Super Tournament had been delayed for over a month due to IEM Katowice and the coronavirus outbreak in Korea.
The full tournament schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, Mar 18 8:00am GMT (GMT+00:00): RO16 Day 1
Saturday, Mar 21 8:00am GMT (GMT+00:00): RO16 Day 2
Wednesday, Mar 25 8:00am GMT (GMT+00:00): Quarterfinals
Saturday, Mar 28 8:00am GMT (GMT+00:00): Semifinals and grand final

This ST is really stacked, hyped afff

This seems so silly, surely they can just play the tournament's online and not risk players getting sick.
eSports has its time to shine right now if they make smart decisions. Every other sport has to effectively cancel.

If  Rogue beats  sOs which isn't a given because of team kill plus who knows how much Rogue is playing after winning Katowice, I have a hard time imagining a situation in which he doesn't make the finals. He has Dark's number and either Zest or Trap in the ro4 seem very much auto wins. If Rogue falls to sOs, slot in Dark to the finals.
The bottom of the bracket looks a lot like Stats or Dear because Super Tournament though either way the finals will probably be a 4-1 for the upper bracket Zerg.

You're predicting soO to win 3 ZvTs in a row. Are you drunk? Him losing 3-0 or 3-1 to INnoVation is the lock of the tournament.

You call it silly, I call not gathering crowds of people in a packed studio during an outbreak responsible.

Sorry I meant play the games online. They're proposing bringing players to studio still which is ridiculous.

New year New soO. He has looked pretty good lately.

How many super tournaments/gsl v the world has Maru now played Stats? Feels like every time haha

uh, i'm hyped to watch it but surely they could just do it online?
a handful of nerds sitting in an empty studio with commentators is not exactly gonna be more hype anyway, possibly more awkward and reminds us more of what is going on with the world

Less than a month ago he was finishing 1-4 in his group at Katowice. To be fair, none of that was ZvT, but unless that's the only match up he's good at, he's probably dead.

TY or PartinG could beat Rogue. Giving no chance to Terran has become mainstream, I see!

I know the last super tournament final was Dark vs TY, but Protoss over performing and Terran under performing is how the GSL Super Tournament seems to work. GSL season 1 will have 2 or 3 Terran in the Ro8.
