Turns out that Afreeca will not be collecting from the Patreon during off months of GSL. I was planning to decrease my amount from $30 because that's a lot to commit every single month but since it will only be months where GSL is actually going I think I'll keep it. Posting this as a bump in case it motivates anyone else to donate a higher amount or keep a currently pledged higher amount.

Love GSL and happy to support them but I feel like they've messed up this fundraising thing time and time again, from waiting months to do it to starting it right after the YouTube screen debacle to now this (people not knowing how much they are actually donating)

Yeah, many people have stated how they feel that GSL has botched the communication for this process badly. Maybe they already collected enough the armount for this season and didnt want to exceed their goal per season.

Oh wow it's not including off months?? That's "noble" i guess but yeah probably lots of people are confused now. I thought they were raising $200k+ a year at this point but I guess not...

so, will S2 be 1 payment or 2? we can't know, as we don't know the dates yet and the tournament lasts less than 1 month

Idk if this is where to ask this, but will it be playoffs only for in-studio for this season of GSL?

They did the Ro16 in Studio for season 2, except Gumiho for some reason probably illness played one match from home.

So Season 3 will likely be the same, Ro16 onward from Studio. Although I don't think there's been an official announcement for it yet. We'll probably know more when the qualifiers are announced.

That was due to the flooding in South Korea, so all trains was cancelled and GumiHo was forced to play from home. And it was all his games on that day

There are few things in the world worse than Korean summers. Is that hyperbolic of me? You decide!

I'm hoping so -- right now the TL page for season 3 says the group stages will be online and I hope that's not the case since I just moved to Seoul and was hoping to watch live Starcraft for the first time.

Does anyone know how much the 1st place prize for GSL was (in seasons 1 and 2) when including the crowd funded money?
I haven't seen the actual number posted anywhere and I've been a subscriber since this whole thing began.
