Global StarCraft II Team League

For the first season of the GOMTV Global StarCraft II League, the GSTL was a short, 4 day event that invited the top 8 Korean teams to play.[3] This format was eventually abandoned due to the popularity of the team leagues.[4]

The GSTL format was drastically overhauled due to its popularity. The new format was season based, going on for three months at a time, and allowed all the teams that wanted to participate to participate, instead of limiting it to 8.[5] This season also saw the debut of non-Korean teams participating in the GSTL.

• A disconnect happened in game four of the 2012 GSTL Season 1 Finals with PartinG vs MarineKing. The referees decided upon a regame which sparked heavy controversy as PartinG looked to be in the lead that game. MarineKing would end up winning the regame and continue to win the following three games which would secure the victory for Prime.
• The 2012 GSTL Season 2 finals would mark the first time that an All-Kill would have been achieved in a finals. This was done by Koh "GuMiho" Byung Jae.

Also on March 28, 2011 to March 29, 2011 GomTV hosted a special tournament called the 2011 LG Cinema 3D GOMTV World Championship Seoul. The GOMTV World Championship hosted Team Korea vs. World All Stars in a single elimination best of 15 format. The tournament lasted all the way till game 15 but the World All Stars could not complete the come back and beat Team Korea.

On February 12, it was announced that GomTV would be hosting a GSTL Preseason event for the first StarCraft II expansion, Heart of the Swarm.[6] This would be the first GomTV HotS tournament, and is played on the beta servers.
