The 2019 GSL Tour will be held in a near identical format as the 2018 tour, with three Code S competitions, two Super Tournaments, and GSL vs. The World. The planned schedule for the tournaments is as follows:
- GSL Season 1: Feb 2 - April 13
- Super Tournament I: April 18-21
- GSL Season 2: April 29 - June 22
- GSL Season 3: July 3 - September 21
- GSL vs. The World: August 1-4
- Super Tournament II: September 26-29
Prize money for GSL events has been adjusted to be more equitable across all placements. The total prize pool is ₩680,000,000 KRW, a slight increase from 2018's ₩675,000,000 KRW (due to a ₩5,000,000 KRW prize increase for GSL vs. The World). Prize money redistribution is as follows:
