3 seasons of WCS = $17/season for high quality, $27/season for source quality, plus whatever freebies we get (like GSTL, if there even is another GSTL season, I think is included). Seems close to this year's options.
idk how much the free live stream mattered to anyone in the US.
Also, the last hour or so is a pretty damn good argument for Blizzard doing something to make the ladder mean something. Ridiculous intensity going on.
- Frost, Polar Night, Yeonsu stay
- Bel'Shir, Whirlwind, Akilon, Star Station, Derelict Watcher are out. Will be replaced by...
- Alterzim (BOOOOO. DOES ANYONE ON PLANET EARTH LIKE THIS MAP?????)
- Habitation Station (winner of map contest, was in Red Bull, looks pretty cool)
- GSL is making a couple maps, one of them will be added into map pool
- Blizz is working on a "rush map" with close-ish bases (not steppes of war close, but what they're calling "standard distance") and wide open space to promote aggressive play
