    StarCraft news

    GameStar.de presents the GSL!

    Outside of Korea it is rare to find a league willing to show support for the amount of time necessary. The good people of GamerStar.de have brought you the premier star league for foreigners.



    This league is not new to the scene, having been known as one of the premier groups out there. They have hosted both Warcraft 3 and Counter Strike 1.6 in the past but slightly shifted gears this year. They broadcast these games live from their very own studio in Germany into televisions and computers all across the globe.

    StarCraft is not the only game featured but it is most definitely one of the best. The GSL also hosts some other games including Unreal Tournament 3 (1on1) as well as Guild Wars (8on8) but we know what you really want to hear about so lets get down to it. The players for StarCraft have already been chosen for this season by invite only.

    The 16 players accepted into the tournament will be competing for a total of almost €9000 in cash and equipment! The games will begin on March the 24th and go until late November 2008 when the finals will take place. There is a base payout to each player no matter what of €25 so everyone comes out with a little something here.

    The Players


    A lot of the invited players are from the clans Germany ToT and Denmark MYM. A good portion of their top players are participating and it looks to be a interesting league. Other teams include Russia 3D and Germany faculty, here is a complete list of the competitors.

    #11, i would say that the MYM people would have been sponsored in, same as the ToT guys. not sure about 3D's sponsorship status.

    #14 ToT)iNfeRnaL( 3
    #11, #13, both mistaken.
    As well as the author of the thread.
    This "entry free" of 400€ might be some wrong translation.
    Those 400€ is the "starting bonus" that will be splitted between the 16 players.
    Means we do not have to pay something, it's quite the opposite since everyone who even participates gets 25€ for that.
    Just to clarify that.
    (I'm 99% sure about this but if I am the one being dumb now: I haven't paid 400€ "entry fee" and haven't heard about it. I never would pay 400€ to be able to play a league anyway.)

    first of all it should be "german only" but at least, the headadmin decided to make a 50%-german and 50%-european league.

    dont u get it this is a german league so mosly germans were ment to participate to make it more interessting they included at least european players..

    of course there will be always some players missing but maybe those players not only got chosen because of their skill but also because of their reliability

    #26 zlykiss 3
    yeah seeing Mistrzzz (1st on iccup season) and some uber russians would be great.

    anyway races mix is fine so there should be some good games

    This is great, it will be on TV, theres real money involved, casting; sounds like a good example for the future of SC out of Korea, really very nice, thanks for the effort, I hope the community response will be gratifying.

    Its amazing how people here always find, or it seems like they look for, a reason to complaint about, show some support instead.

    Hope there will be more of it in the future, with other players and English casting.

    mondragon was told to decide who can participe. he told two german nobodys to search the players. so its obvously that they had to invite 3/4 tot ;)
    and overall a not very perfect decision, but it could be worse.
    hope to see some good games!

    #30 DaGGer- 2
    mondragon didnt decide anything.
    And I also think that trust and me know how to organise a league and after which criterias we have to pick the players. Mondragon didnt said anything, so dont judge if you dont know about how the stuff is working "nobody"

    Ehm people... it's a German event (Gamestar is a German computer games magazine). And it was decided by the league admins that half of the players should be German and the other half should be European. And another criteria is that they should be reliable (hence the season goes 9 months).

    #11: Collector is Ger-A.

    #39: Goody officially quit BW after last WCG (where he was beat by Mondragon in 3/4 finals). Now he seems to be getting active again.

    #45: The admins wanted the races to be balanced. There are already enough protoss players.


    Great event, I hope it works out well. :)
    Beside WCG there is no other non asian event with so much cash to win, which is pretty nice.
    And I hope that most of the players stay motivated and active throughout the 9 months.

    Dagger learn to read. admins should be able to understand a written text, even its from a second class english student ;)
    i never said mondragon decided the players. i said mondragon decided the people who should decide about them, thats a big difference.
    also i said that because OF THAT its clear that so many tots are here.
    its obvouisly for a middle class player that these tot players ARENT first class, there are many better players, like mistrzzz or some russian.
    mondragon, infernal, gohan ok fine, but tots like squall for example are just NOT that lvl, they never win a single game on a tournament against ppl like mistrzzz or mondragon.
    *end*

    I understood your text very well, believe me. but after all criterias, which one was also how active people are playing and so on. Mistrzzz would have been another protoss if you think about it...
    and mondragon didnt "decided" us. there were few more people heading for the admin job. At last we were picked and in your words it sounds wether we picked that much ToTs because we owe Mondragon sth. Thats totally wrong. its just a fact that most good european, and active players are in ToT or MYM.

    6 ToT)
    5 MYM, yeah you can really see, how much Mondragon affected our choice, and at the end there are always people complaining.
    I think we did a good choice and the league will be a good tourney.
