Omg now GSL top 4 gets another free entry for another Premier tourney...
I already hate the GSL seed into top 16. Rich gets richer. How is qualifying through a full GSL season "free entry"? It's how every other regional EPT division also works. Yeah this complaint - if at all - would apply to every region, not just Korea. But really the season finals are showdowns of the top finishing players of every division - aka a "rich get richer" invitational. That is very much the point.
It's not different to any other such tournament that people qualify for. Top performers of a year qualified for BlizzCon, now Katowice. Top performers of one season get the extra opportunity to compete against top performers of other regions for additional money and points. They don't have those thrown at them, they have to perform to earn the opportunity. Really not correct to call it an invitational given that it's based on performance in a season that serves as a qualifier.
So yes, the rich get richer, but they have to earn the extra chance. Nothing wrong with that in my eyes.

No announcement yet on where this will be broadcasted? This will be broadcasted right?

As shocking as I also find it, I believe this will not be broadcasted. First of all, the announcement is insanely late, secondly, there is no mention of it being broadcasted anywhere, and thirdly, youtube already set up the reminder for the first GSL group on Saturday but NOT the one for these games, which are tomorrow...

ESL admins have chosen broadcasters, but it's not public who they are yet. They said in Discord that they just sent out the invitations to folks a few hours ago. This will be broadcast, but we don't know by whom or where yet.

Hey everyone, I will be broadcasting this in English on Twitch tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm the only English broadcaster chosen, but there are limited lobby spaces so it depends how many other languages there were that applied for it.

Great news! <3

Surprising to see that it's not the points ranking which determines the invitees, but this is actually much better. Now at the season finals we get the in-form players instead of the year-round good players. (the latter is what Katowice is for)
Having a couple of playoff matches like this feels a bit akward, maybe a better system can be made in the future (eight players from Korea?). But it definitely seems the best way to do it for now - much better to have actual matches decide rather than have some inevitably-arbitrary administrative decision decide.

Wow huge props to Apollo and the team for organizing this so quickly!
Also shout-out to Wardi for being THE guy when something needs to be cast!

Yeah this format definitely leaves something to be desired haha, I think if it were a group stage format or round robin there's a pretty good chance Dark & Maru are the two who go through.

im always down for a maru - dark match, def not complaining about this one :D
|
Bloody good news that this will be broadcasted. Gonna get off work early to watch this--wouldn't miss Maru vs Dark for the world. Thanks Wardi.

Wasn't there a huge lag issue (for broadcaster) if a caster is from EU and it's being played on KR?

DId the match times get swapped around initial announce said maru vs dark first, now liquipedia says dear vs trap first?
