SPOTV have announced the qualifiers and some details for their Starcraft 2 league.



The offline qualifiers will be held starting December 11, with 28 players advancing into a "Challenger League". There are no region restrictions, so any masters player willing to try the qualifiers can participate in the qualifiers. 4 players will be seeded from various regions, chosen by SPOTV, directly into this league to make up the 32 players. They will then play to reach the main tournament: a Ro16 Dual Tournament.



Tournament Format:

Finals: Best of 7

Semi Finals: Best of 7, one each broadcast day

Quarter Finals: Best of 5, two each broadcast day

Ro16: 4 player groups in a best of 3 dual tournament, one group per broadcast day

Group Selections: 1 day

Challenger: Best of 5, four per broadcast day



The Season 1 finals will be held on March 21, 2015.



Prize distribution:

1st place: 40m Won or ~$35,975

Runner Up: 10m Won or $8,994

Semi Finalists: 4.5m Won or ~$4,047

Ro8: 2m Won or $1,798

Ro16: 1m Won or $899





After each season, each player that lost in the Ro8 will be seeded into next season's Challenger, while all semi finalists will be seeded directly into the main tournament. Season 2 will only have 24 Challenger spots (since 4 players already seeded into main tournament).

Would be cool if they took the Blizzcon top 4: Life, MMA, Classic, and Taeja. Unless MMA's not playing in KR?

If you win (or get top 4) you go to the Ro16 of the next one automatically, so it's possible we'll see more consistency than in GSL.



It's actually more like the BW OSL except that you need to get Ro8 to get into next season's "challenger league" instead of Ro16. But that's a good change.

Is SPOTV on par with GomTV? Should we expect something epic like the MSL/OSL from SC1 or something less?

They do the proleague broadcast. It's been relatively successful, so they decided to run their own league. They do the proleague broadcast. It's been relatively successful, so they decided to run their own league.

Also, Korea has way too much talent but not enough tournaments to play in. I think this is great news. Dear, Rain, PartinG, Trap - "Glory to the Firstborn"

I think the plan is to have 3 GSLs, 3 SPOTV tournaments, and 3 KesPA cups, so this should be the biggest year in Korean Starcraft since 2011 which had 7 GSLs and like 3 special events.
