It was announced in June 2018 and began its first season the following month. It is broadcast regularly in Korean and English on Twitch.[2] The main English language casters for the event are Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski and Nicolas "Tasteless" Plott.[3] It currently runs alongside afreecaTV's AfreecaTV StarCraft League (ASL) as one of the two top level Korean leagues for StarCraft: Remastered.[4]

History

The KSL was announced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the StarCraft series, becoming the first Blizzard-run league for the Korean StarCraft scene since StarCraft's release in 1998.[1] Prior to the first season's finals, the second season was announced, with qualifiers in late September of that year and regular play starting in October.[5] The finals of the first season took place in the Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul.[6]
