StarLadder and Blizzard Entertainment announced the 2 new StarCraft: Remastered tournaments for non-Korean players.
The goal for StarCraft: Remastered Open Series and Pro Series is to demonstrate further support to non-Korean StarCraft players by arranging a big global tournament. This means that the event will be closed to Korean players, but open to everyone else.
The tournament will be divided into two parts. The first one will be StarCraft: Remastered Open Series, where amateur players can take part. The winners of Open Series will then join the world’s top non-Korean players to fight for glory and their part of the prize pool in StarCraft: Remastered Pro Series.
Both tournaments will be held online.
Registration is open until June 27, 18:00 CEST. Registration links below:

Reading the rules, I'm pretty sure there's no prize pool for the Open Series. Grand finals for the Open Series won't even be played since top two players advance to the Pro Series.

As correctly suggested above, there is no Prize Pool for Open Series exept for 2 Pro Series spots.
Still the league is about to deliver much competitive fun to the players of low and mid skill level, unlike to usual tournaments, where they are getting stomped in Ro256 which is not really funny.
