Well we will know for sure in the next two days :D Seems like an SSL teaser <3 Would be great, hopefully it is exactly that! (well i would prefer some kind of teamleague, but SSL is the next best thing ^^)
We need more leagues! I feel some resurgence on SC2 overall, and me also people around me are coming back to play. Starcraft its too good of a game, to quit forever.

Team league with only 1 Pro Team left?
I am not really a big fan of teams that players just form to enter a tournament.

Well if there would be a regular teamleague i am sure the players could figure out teams and maybe even get small sponsorship (unlikely but hey who knows) I think team matches are way better for potential growth than solo leagues because fans of a specific player can watch him play more regularly and it adds up with a team. Blizzard should sponsor one, both in korea and the rest of the world

Makes we wonder though, would they do that without it being part of WCS?
Their reasoning to stop doing SSL was that it wouldn't be part of WCS, no? Would be strange indeed. But this surely has to be a tease for another SSL, all the evidence needed is there ^^

That's what I thought as Wolf kinda implied he couldn't cast SC2 anymore (no more opportunities)
When did he say that though? I mean sc2 SSL was gone so it made sense for him to imply that a few months ago. SPOTV surely wouldn't do the teaser that way when it was a bw tournament?
Well with ASL being as successful as it was I could see this being for BW. sc2 is on a massive decline in Korea and I really don't see why they'd pull out of sc2 only to pull right back in. Would love to see another BW league. Might not be OSL and MSL, but having ASL and SSL seems pretty sick. They might want to change the name though if they end up doing BW.
If this is for SC2 after all I'm pretty happy for all the pros still doing sc2, they really need more opportunities than Code S to be able to continue to be pros.

While you are right about the general situation in korea, the teaser still heavily implies sc2 though. I don't see why it would if this was about bw
If they switch to sc1 i think they should stick to the name SSL, just like the OSL stayed the same when they transitioned to sc2. SpoTV StarLeague is already a well established brand.
Anyway, in the midst of all the exams and ladder dissapointments ive got something to look forward to, dont be yet another damp squib, thursday!

BW SSL is probably done since Sonic's business collapsed. The salt here would be incredible if they brought back SSL, but for another game. Just one last "screw you" from SpoTV as they drop SC2 for good.
