Let's hope that TSL doesn't disappoint the Korean side then, which is much more spoiled with perfect builds and execution. This has huge potential to finally break down that everlasting wall between the levels of competetiveness we have in SK and "world" respectively.

What do you say now, Strelok? May the trade-off have been worth it afterall? : ]

Call me a nerd all you want... I literally got chills reading this. Can't say how thrilled I am that the korean scene and international scene are getting along like this.

100% agree. I love how Korean E-sports is working with the rest of the world now, something like this would probably be nearly impossible a few years ago.

I love this news... this is bringing us one step closer to having one conjoined worldwide starcraft scene rather than the inevitable "us and them" attitude that still seems to exist.

Can you imagine the possibilities of this expanding in the future? I can see a Korean announcers table being setup for events like MLG and IEM in the future, with Koreans, Americans and Europeans all competing!

Very cool that Gisado will be casting this. Maybe TSL will step up the bar for the entire world.

I can only assume that koreans will have to pay $10 for the stream and VODs. Surely broadcasting outside of the norm costs extra money. Right?

Doubtful. In Korea, GOM already has the infrastructure and advertiser support that they are trying to build elsewhere.

Yeah, this is truly awesome. Hopefully some foreigners surprise with good results too so the foreigner scene earns more respect from the Koreans too.

Goshawk.

Here's hoping the foreigners show the Korean fans how it's DONE.

Gj GOM, clearly they take the growth of SC2 seriously.
