Each season will run for about 2 months as well. The cost for tickets has risen from 10 bucks to 15, but they have also given us a yearly pass which includes regular season GSLs, with a separate ticket for the special events such as the GSTL and AoL.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, August 11th
Hello everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, August 11th.
Well, yesterday I talked about F. United scoring huge in the team leagues with a win over MVP, but also taking place after that was oGs taking on TSL and here is the rundown from that:
JYP over Vines, TheSTC over JYP, and then Revival took down TheSTC, Nada, and MC to take the series for TSL 4-1.
We also had IPL season 2 action with some Winner's and Loser's bracket play. The matches in the lower bracket for today were Thorzain taking down Moonan 3-1 on the bo5, and the EU Blizzard Champ Ret falling to Nerchio 3-0. In the upper bracket action we had Idra fall to the recently resurgent Mana 3-2. The final match was White-Ra looking all but dominating in his 3-0 victory over Strelok.
Also today was the final day in Week 1 of the new season in the EG Master's Cup. The week of results were:
Mouz 4-0 over Complexity, Empire 3-2 over FnaticMSI, Gosu 3-1 over Sixjax, and in the final match we had EG take the series over Dignitas 3-1.
In other news the big announcement today is that the Korean teams have withdrawn at the minute from Season 2 of the NASL. They were making some last minute monetary demands which NASL attempted to work with, but due to constraints they could not reach and agreement. I am not sure what this means for season 2 in term of players, if they will replace or just go without for season 2, but I do know that Korean players on Foreign teams were not affected so Rain, Puma, and Hero will be there.
Also announced today were a few things about MLG Raleigh. First of all, there will still be two streams, one featuring Day9 and Husky, the other with the casting archon themselves, Tastosis. DJWheat has other obligations that weekend so will not be able to make it. Also released were the pools for the event. The four Koreans coming on invites are Bomber, Coco, Tester, and Nada. Other Koreans in pool play include DongRaeGu and Rain. I thought that MMA and MVP were confirmed, but it appears that MVP has declined his invite and we have not heard from MMA yet that I know of. Also it has been announced that Complexity is sending Noblesse along with DRG to this event. Can't wait to see these players in action.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for you tonight. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
