At SOOP, esports tournaments for StarCraft II fans continue.
SOOP said on the 10th that it will exclusively carry live Korean-language coverage of the global StarCraft II tournament "RSL (Revival StarCraft II League) Season 3," which runs from the 13th to the 23rd.
Launched in June this year, "RSL" is a global tournament produced by the global commentary team for SOOP's StarCraft II league, the Global StarCraft II League (GSL), "Tasteless (Nicolas Plott)" and "State (Ryan Visbeck)." Planned to keep the StarCraft II momentum going while the official league takes a brief break, the tournament features top players from around the world delivering play on par with official events.
"RSL" consists of three seasons in total and an offline final scheduled for mid-December. The winner of each season is given a seed to advance to the final. In Season 1 and Season 2, Kim Do-woo (Classic) of Korea won back-to-back titles.
This Season 3 will feature world-class players including Kim Do-woo, eight-time GSL champion Jo Seong-ju (Maru), and Reynor (Riccardo Romiti), known as the strongest Zerg, who are set to wage fierce competition.
The tournament will be broadcast live from the 13th, starting with the group stage, every Thursday to Sunday at 7 p.m. through the 23rd. The Korean-language broadcast will be hosted by popular StarCraft II streamer "Crank."
During "RSL Season 3," SOOP will run various user-participation programs such as drops and pick'em events, offering StarCraft II fans an even richer viewing experience.
