At the end of last night's WCS Season One Finals broadcast, OnGameNet revealed that WCS Korea Season II will begin on June 18th with the internet auction website Auction.co.kr as the title sponsor.
The initial announcement of WCS revealed that GomTV and OnGameNet would take alternating turns running WCS Korea, and now it is OnGameNet's turn to operate the league before GomTV returns to produce Season III. Just as GomTV kept the "GSL Code S" brand name for the previous season of WCS Korea, the "Starleague" brand name will be attached to the upcoming OnGameNet season.
OnGameNet will run the equivalent to the "Premier division" in America and Europe, while GomTV will continue to run the "Challenger League" or Code A equivalent.
Auction had already sponsored the previous OnGameNet Starleague in 2012, before the league had been tied in with the WCS system.

So is GSTL the only SC2 tournament that Gom will be running during the WCS season 2 timeframe? I know the agreement prohibits them from broadcasting a competing event at the same time, but that seems like a long time for Gom to have so little going on.

Time for an epic summer of StarCraft action.

Won't Tastosis still be casting the games from the empty studio as they did for the WCS finals?

Awesome. I heard they showed an epic video to introduce it. Anyone got it, preferably in HD?

GOM will be running Code A and GSTL, as well as broadcasting the Starleague not on location like OGN was doing during this past season.

And I believe GOM is still running the Challenger League/Up&Down/Qualifiers. OGN only runs the Premier League.

wish they would give a little longer break. =/ feels like there are too many champions in one year. This is the viewers perspective of course, to the players it still seems impossible i would imagine

I'm still not sure how much I like WCS piggybacking off of other tournaments.

Actually 3 this year doesn't seem to be that much at all. At most we'll get 4next year and beyond.
