Challenge was SSL's Code A last year when the format didn't suck.
Would be great if we had a challenger league for SSL again. This SSL season felt kinda meaningless to me.
why do they use the old maps again? I'd really like to see koreans play on new map pool like ruins of endion invader and frozen temple.

Looks to me like it'll just be the RO32 matches. Top 8 plus 24 newbies.

I think it's actually 24 challengers, 12 of them advance to the Main Events + Top 4 seeded players from the last season

I'm loving that the 3 maps used in the qualifiers include 2 which are not in the current pool.

I'm loving that qualifiers use map pool that gives each player a fair chance to win instead of heavily favoring some races.

I love that you think those maps don't favor any race.
Thank you GTR for keeping us up to date and really good job with the casting. Its noticible you are really getting comfortable =D
Back to back right after GSL qualifier? Eh, tough days for many players

because the organizers care about their players and make sure they get maps you can actually play starcraft 2 on.

I'm surprised it's this close to GSL's qualifiers. Thought there would be a little more of a gap between the days
Do anyone now if we will have the annoying format that was s1 or if we get groups in ro16?
Will there be any streams for this?

There's usually a Korean Stream on YT. English? Probably not, unless Wolf does something on Periscope like he is with the GSL qualifiers
In case anyone was wondering. It's as per usual, a Korean broadcast that will probably focus on qualifying games, no English cast.

GTR said due to KeSPA's limitation of streaming the games, it's not worth for him to attend the event and stream it
