GOMeXp Global StarCraft II League (GSL) is a ''StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm'' tournament hosted by GOMeXp (formerly GOMTV) and Blizzard Entertainment in South Korea. There is also an English language stream available. The tournament features two leagues, Code S (major) and Code A (minor). Code S and Code A are mainly cast by Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Nicolas "Tasteless" Plott, they are sometimes helped by Proleague caster Wolf Schröder. The event is broadcast Wednesday to Friday on TwitchTV. GOMTV used to run a house for select foreigners to live in while attempting to qualify for Code A. The house could accommodate up to 8 players. Players are responsible for travel to the GOM house, but all expenses other than food were covered by GOMTV.〔(GOMTV Foreigner House Tour )〕 The house closed in November 2012.〔http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/closed-threads/380368-gom-house-discontinued-by-gomtv Teamliquid article reporting the closing (EN)〕〔http://www.thisisgame.com/esports/nboard/162/?n=38430 Thisigane article reporting the closing (KR)〕 As of the end of 2015 GSL Season 2, GOMTV has given away over 3.6 billion Korean won (over $3.1 million USD) from the individual GSL and Arena of Legends leagues in ''StarCraft II''.〔(GOMTV information on esportsearnings.com )〕 == GSL-MLG Exchange Program == Major League Gaming and GOMTV have announced a player exchange program between the tournaments. MLG will invite and provide travel for four Korean players every tournament and the players will be seeded directly into Championship pool. Starting from MLG Anaheim 2011 the winner of the tournament is given GSL Code S seed and top three non-Korean players (top four if the winner is Korean) are given Code A seeds. MLG Columbus 2011 was the first event to see Korean invites. Moon "MMA" Sung Won won the tournament and the other invites finished 2nd, 3rd and 8th. Non-Koreans players accepting Code A seeds were Johan "NaNiWa" Lucchesi, Marcus "ThorZaIN" Eklöf and Jian Carlo "Fenix" Morayra Alejo. They will participate in both GSL August and GSTL August team league. For the team league they will form a team F.United together with players from a Korean pro team WeMadeFox. It was thought that NaNiwa would have gotten the Code S spot for his second-place finish at the national finals at MLG Providence 2011, but it was revealed afterwards that Code S would not have been given out at that event.〔(Official MLG Statement Regarding the Naniwa Code S Issue )〕 The GSL-MLG Exchange Program has since been nullified, as GSL is now partnered with IPL.〔(GSL Partners with IPL )〕 MLG CEO Sundance DiGiovanni has hinted at the Naniwa Code S scandal as possible reasoning for the breakup of the partnership.〔(MLG CEO on Kespa Deal )〕 With the closure of IPL, the partner program between the two is now finished. Since 2013, the GSL took over as the Korean part of the World Championship Series created by Blizzard Entertainment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global StarCraft II League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
