KeSPA Pros Join GSL starting NOW!

Dear GOMTV.net users,

This is Mr. Chae.

Many things have happened over the last week and I believe many overseas fans have been following the news regarding the current situation in Korean e-Sports. We have been looking over the comments on various community sites regarding this incident and were very moved by the many fans who left encouraging messages for GOMTV on Twitter and community boards. We promise to repay your kindness with great content.

GSL Season 4 will begin today with the Up&Down matches. We hope all of you are looking forward to a series of exciting matches that will determine who will participate in this season’s Code S tournament.

In contrast to the unfortunate news we had to announce last week, we are happy that today we will be able to greet you with some good news.

The Korean e-Sports association (KeSPA) has decided to participate in the GSL Season 4 Code A qualifiers and we have already received the list of participants.

Because of this, there will be an adjustment to the schedule for the GSL Season 4 Code A qualifiers:

• Old date: September 5th/6th -> New date: September 12th/13th
• Location: Intel e-Sports Stadium, Shindorim

Additionally, we are currently in discussion regarding Code A and Code S seeds for KeSPA players. GOMTV is planning to provide 2 Code S seeds as well as 4 Code A seeds for players of the Korean e-Sports association. We will update you with the list of seeded players as soon as they are confirmed.

We have some additional news regarding the Up&Down matches. Because of a severe typhoon warning, the return of the Korean players who were attending MLG will be delayed. It is possible that we will have to adjust the schedule for the Up&Down matches on short notice, due to some players not being able to attend because of this natural disaster. We are currently in contact with the players in the US and will revise the schedule accordingly, if needed.

Many things have happened over the last week. We would like to once again thank all e-Sports fans for their tremendous support and words of encouragement for GOMTV.

This is the beginning. We will strive to provide all of you with the best content possible. See you at the GSL.

Thank you.

Where is Boxer ;______;

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Love watching Taeja!

 

[Paches]

Where is Boxer ;______;

Coaching for SKT now.

 

[Mindlog]

Finally.

Kespa, you're back in.
ESF, nice job nutting up on that one.

Stacraft II. It's time.

 

[mrpeabody]

Not "The Kespire Strikes Back"? Missed opportunity.

 

[Mairu]

Pretty exciting that the first foreigner to play this season advanced from Up/Down to Code S. It'd be funny if he got placed in a group with a Kespa player and won

 

[Corran Horn]

Not "The Kespire Strikes Back"? Missed opportunity.

Nah

Starcraft 2: A New Bonjwa?

Starcraft 2: KeSPA Strikes Back

Starcraft 2: Return of the Fruitdealer

 

[Zzoram]

I am actually super excited to see KeSPA players play.

Hopefully everyone in GSL 2012 S4 and OS2L have epic ceremonies:

 

[Haunted]

I didn't know Mana is in Korea, cool beans.

 

[HolyCheck]

can't wait ;_;

 

[Miker]

Oh snap! I might have to buy another season pass. Does anybody know if there are coupon codes floating around? I remember when I subbed for a season a few months ago, they gave me a coupon to apply to a new season, so I ended up subbing for two seasons for $25.

 

[demosthenes]

So can someone explain this to someone that has never bought a pass?

Do these never end up on youtube? Are they delayed? I assume the VOD option is for the fact that I can't watch these games @ 4am EST.

What's the best option for a noob like me that just wants his SC2 fix. Also how long does the GSL season last?

They never end up on youtube, and they usually don't go free at all on their website until after an entire year. GSL seasons last like a month and a half now I think

GSL Season 4 08.27(Mon) ~ 10.20(Sat)

 

[bbyybb]

Looking forward to this season. I wonder if it there will be another PvP finals this season.

Is there going to be a thread for the OSL?

 

[Lumination]

Is YogiOh YuGiOh's evil twin or is that a typo? I'm 100% serious. Been out of the scene for a bit.

 

[vicissitudes]

I'm dying to know who the KeSPA seeds will be.

What's the best option for a noob like me that just wants his SC2 fix. Also how long does the GSL season last?

Just buy the season ticket. It's like $15 for 2 months' worth. And you're supporting the GSL.

I never pay for any other SC2 content (MLG, etc.) but I always pay for GSL.

 

[Corran Horn]

Is there going to be a thread for the OSL?

Usually Haz does OSL threads...I might make it later tonight if he doesnt show I guess (unless someone else wants to make it)

Its just a typo. It is Yugioh

 

[calder]

Oh man I kinda want to get back into GSL, I've really enjoyed watching the youtube VODs of the WCS stuff, but since January I just haven't been able to pay $ for GOM's worst-in-class stream quality. :\

Maybe a season ticket, dip my toe back in.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Can't wait. I might even watch Code A this season!

 

[Corran Horn]

Group B for Up and Down tonight. 3 hours from post

• MVP.Sniper
• SlayerS`Puzzle
• FXO_GuMiho
• ST_AcE
• ST_Hack
• EG.ThorZaIN*

*ThorZaIN pulled out of GSL.

 

[HolyCheck]

[TheD]

It is the least you would expect for paying to watch.

[eot]

Horrible commentary or horrible straem quality

Tough choice

Wolf is one of the top 3 casters in the world.

 

[Jezbollah]

Gah. I'm at a customer site today and the VODs for yesterday's Up & Down matches are still not appearing on the IOS app.

Also - I arrived too late to catch any of Fruitdealer's games. I feel that I'm missing a LOT of SC2's early history because of this...

 

[Aaron]

Early seasons should be free now. Worth watching if you missed them because boy were things different then.

 

[Jezbollah]

Cheers. I tried looking for the Open Seasons but couldnt find them (I have an annual premium pass). I may fire off an email to them to ask about it. Ta.

[HolyCheck]

what ever they were playing just then.. sounded like death grips...

 

[Haunted]

Didn't GOM experiment with a twitch stream? Or was that only for WCS?

 

[bbyybb]

That was for WCS.

 

[Haunted]

That was for WCS.

dang.

 

[Aaron]

I checked the free stream just to remind myself how it looked... wow, that's shit. GOM should do a little better for the freeloaders.

 

[bbyybb]

I think GOM figures that if you want to be able to even see the numbers clearly you will have to pay for that privledge

 

[Aaron]

Forget numbers. I couldn't see anything clearly, especially on creep.

 

[jorma]

Anyway, congratulations to Mana for a job well done. Too bad i missed it :X

 

[SxP]

I tried to watch the free stream today as well and some roaches and mutas were going to attack a thor, some tanks and some marines on creep. It was literally just a blur, you couldn't see a thing.

 

[Haunted]

I checked the free stream just to remind myself how it looked... wow, that's shit. GOM should do a little better for the freeloaders.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Spoiler

For the love of God, don't click on them.

 

[TheThunder]

It is the least you would expect for paying to watch.

Because their player is terrible at streaming

I believe stephano has said he won't do gsl since its too much of a time commitment.
