And now i can talk about it... Thank you to my counter-parts at GSL and Blizzard for helping to make this great relationship come together. Just the beginning of many great things coming into Columbus!
Great, great news. Note that placing well at MLG now means you can earn a spot for an all expense paid trip to compete at GSL in Korea for a MONTH. Wow, awesome. So did Blizzard helped mediate between the 2 parties(Gomtv and MLG)? That is pretty cool if true "Mediate" implies there was a conflict. Everyone at MLG loves GSL and I think that sentiment is reciprocated. The eSports team at Blizzard helped make introductions at a senior level between the two organizations. Those guys do a lot behind the scenes that they don't get enough credit for (and are probably going to give me shit for calling them out). Hope everyone is as excited about this collaboration as we all are.
Ahh yes, sorry I should have chose my words more carefuly. But yeah thanks for the answer though its good to see that they are doing a lot behind the scenes work(I already suspected that \hipster)

Yay. Finally a connection between West and Korea.

Well, now I'm going to have to buy an MLG ticket...

That's awesome, it'll be great to see more foreigners in the gsl and more koreans in the mlg. win all around
|
Soo... only the top 12 get seeded into pool play now? Or do the groups consist of 6 players?
Do the Koreans acquire rank points like all westerners?

GSL offering up Code A and Code S spots + covering travel &accomodation for players. MLG offering up seeded spots in pool play + covering travel & accomodation for players.
I fucking love you guys.
Correct. MLG pays travel and accommodations for GSL Pro's and seeds them into Championship Pool Play.
GSL pays travel and accommodations for MLG top finishers and Code A/Code S placement.
Credit where due, that means a month in Korea playing in a GSL tournament.

Wow this is great news. This means that the spread of eSports has gone very far. Hopefully this can keep up with many other events and the world can eventually intertwine all its players together or something in some big face off.

This is pretty fucking crazy awesome.
|
And I bet on losira winning it all!
losira ftw!

Shit just got REAL! Great that there will be more interaction between the two scenes. :D
