"Hello, I am Mr. Chae from GOMTV

It’s been little over a year since the launch of StarCraft II. The GSL, which has been receiving a lot of love and support from all of you, has also celebrated its first anniversary a short while ago.

I believe that this year has been a special year for e-sports.
A lot of things that were not accomplished in SC/BW were achieved in the course of just one year..

Players from all around the world competing each other, leading international tournaments working together with exchange programs, foreign players coming to Korea for training and Korean players joining foreign teams - all of these are remarkable developments that have not occurred to this extent in the past 10 years of e-sports history.

Alongside GSL, there have been many major tournaments out there entertaining fans worldwide.
We at GSL are always hoping to work together with other foreign tournaments and believe we have accomplished a lot in that regard this year.

When we first introduced the 2011 GSL Tour we have mentioned the Blizzard CUP.
The Blizzard CUP is a tournament in which we plan to look back at and conclude the year 2011 and determine the best of best. Additionally, other events like Best Coach Award, Fan Favorite Player Award, Best Player of their respective Race Award etc. are planned.

We are currently in the last stages of deciding on and tweaking the format and schedule of the 2012 GSL Tour."
