Kim Carry will be casting an 8-player, invitation-only league that starts play on April 16th. The league was sponsored by a Kim Carry super-fan who wanted to see this particular format and these particular players. The league will last over 5 weeks.
You can catch the event live on Kim Carry's AfreecaTV stream (link).
As part of the agreement with that fan, Kim Carry will be uploading videos of the broadcasts to his YouTube channel (link). It would help him out if you subscribed to his channel and it costs nothing to do so! Apparently, the Carry fan wanted YouTube because he often cannot catch the live broadcasts.
With the KCM Legend Matches on Thursdays and Kim Carry's Starcraft Myeongin League on the weekends, it seems that we will get a steady stream of Starcraft over the next month.

UPDATE: Last has secured a place in the finals. We will not have a mirror match up in the finals! As for the rest, I think everyone except the two Terrans has a chance for 2nd place.

Some fan funded this?
Fantastic benevolence!

Sweet, although I must say the uploads on his channel has pretty much stopped, I was looking forward to a lot of his broadcasts to end up on youtube.
maybe even have a stream on youtube? would certainly make our lives a lot easier than watching on afreeca.

Fuck yes. Thank you superfan!!! I hope one day I get loaded and can sponsor tours like this T_T

Thanks, lemmata.
Will work on a LP page for this before the league starts
Out of curiosity, did Kim Carry/sponsor consider a 9-player league, to balance the races out with three players each (e.g. inviting  EffOrt)? Per a quick calculation, seems it'd only be 36 matches in the round robin, or 8 more than presently scheduled (9! / (7! * 2!) vs 8! / (6! * 2!)). But also ~₩240,000 more...

Great superfan. This is going to be interesting.

EffOrt was invited but rejected the invitation.

Does anyone else find this New Sniper Ridge map a bit weird? It looks like a swastika...

Oh, yeah. I didn't say they were the same but I said it was like the one nazis used. Still, I'd have avoided that symbol as a map maker so there is no comparison.

Probably because of Hilter using it as a symbol while he committed mass atrocities? Having said that, the symbol has another meaning and goes far back, way before his time. It's just what first comes to mind when the symbol is shown.
As a map, sniper ridge is pretty fun to play on because you are constantly fighting over high ground but also means that if you are able to contain your opponent early on, it'll be easier to win partially due to that. Glad they decided to have it in the map pool.

It's a symboli of happiness. It's been widely used by other than nazis. I dont know why people get so offended unless its a swastika in a white circle on a red background.
Those horrors happened quite some time ago anyways...

Adding a results crosstable to the top post and will try to add the Round Robin matches to the Calendar -- looks like a bit of a TL bug as all events appear as "Team Heralds Invitational"

Yeah, there's a bug; can't add new leagues. Have to use one of the existing ones ^^
