Hello everybody!
I'm trying to plan a trip to South Korea/Japan and would obviously love to go watch a StarCraft live game - it's been a dream for fifteen years or so now. I'm planning to go in March or April 2016, but since it's a big trip it involves some early planning for flights etc.
Anyway - I'm wondering if anybody knows how long before the actual tournament they release the dates for GSL. And as a bonus question I wonder if anybody knows if it's hard to get tickets, and how to go about it.
Thank you very much!

There is no schedule yet.

I'd imagine season 1 of KR whatever leagues are still active will be going on at that time, and you shouldn't need tickets to get in. Just show up in person, I think GOM used to allow you to reserve seats for the finals.
|
Nobody knows.
In fact given the uncertain situation that GomeXP is in currently it is not at all certain whether there will even still be GSL next year. They've sold their studio and stuff to AfreecaTV and while they are guaranteeing existing leagues will continue that doesn't mean much considering that only covers this season of GSL.
For reference, check here.

Right. I see.
Thanks for input guys, I'll probably just have to wait as long as possible to book my tickets then and see what comes up. Perhaps there will be a good solution, or the alternative option of going to some other pro league game or something.
|
Actually, do you guys who are clearly way more clued up than me, think that there is a better chance to get proleague dates earlier on?
If they are even played with an audience that is, I don't watch as much SC2 as I used to

never schedule around esports events in korea, they are notorious for releasing dates the week before the event is supposed to start

Thank you very much! I think you are planning way too far in advance. You will not know of any upcoming SC2 matches for March/April in Korea for 2016 when it's still 2015 right now. Korea doesn't plan that far ahead unfortunately :/

Right.
That's some bad news.
I'll wait some longer before booking the flights then, and if nothing comes up then I'll just have to hope for the best.
Thanks for replies.

I'm also planning a trip to South Korea this year. Hopefully to see the Code S finals.
Any idea when they release the dates? Or even at what time of year they use to be?

I cant seem to find the date for the finals in 2015. Does anyone know? It might give us a hint about the date for the 2016 finals

I doubt it would help at all; 3 seasons into 2 means that they're stretching the schedule out a lot more (just look at code A this year vs last year).
Code A will be over by mid-February, so assuming they stick to their schedule of Wednesday / Friday GSL I expect the semifinals to be no sooner than 13 / 15 April (this also assumes no breaks at all between Code A and Code S Ro.32, Ro.32 and Ro.16 etc.)
Finals should be on Saturday / Sunday, so I would guess 23/24 April (at a very rough guess), but frankly who knows at the moment.
Given that GSL is planning outdoor finals, they should be announcing dates sooner than usual, but I'm not sure what 'sooner' actually translates to
