Hello. This is GSL. We would like to thank our viewers for your continued support and sponsorship of GSL. To repay this support and find a way to continuously provide GSL content to our fans, we are introducing a new tournament format, 'GSL CK'. Starting with this event, we plan to try various new directions to keep GSL and StarCraft II content going for the fans. Nice with more starcraft

I'm a bit confused by the new format(s). Is it showmatches, plus a tourney? | ||

For example, Percival and Ryung are both ranked higher than sOs on Aligulac at the moment. The more I think about it, the more daft it becomes. | ||

GSL could have been a prime example and leader in online community monetization yet they did not act for years despite fans asking for it. maximum inspiration from RSL | ||

And maybe all the players receive some compensation we aren't aware of. Where did you get that 9-10k a month number from, Harris1st? | ||

Where did you get that 9-10k a month number from, Harris1st? My bad, that number was RSL not GSL. Though GSL was much higher last year than the 3k/ month it is now. But if you don't do anything meaningful with the money it's only natural that it becomes less and less. EDIT: GSL Patreon was at almost 13k/ month in 2024. Not sure how it developed over the course of 2025 | ||

GSL paying casters is normal. Even when they do it online. GSL paying players outside prizepool is not. So I would be very surprised if this were the case. I think it's important to remember GSL is a for profit business. And like others have said if they are not pocketing the money to recoup operating costs from the previous year, pay for studio and entire production team and caster salaries, it is likely that money will be moved into hosting a "normal" Code S season later. | ||

To best accommodate the players, we have adjusted the event time as follows: * New Schedule: Monday, March 16th at 5:00 PM (KST) | ||
