The Global StarCraft II Team League (GSTL) was a StarCraft II tournament series hosted by GomTV and Blizzard Entertainment in South Korea. It ran from 2011 to 2013 as a team event parallel to the individual Global StarCraft II League, broadcast on Thursday and Friday, to not conflict with the GSL's Monday to Wednesday broadcast.[1][2] Following competition with the KeSPA-run StarCraft II Proleague, which had fully transitioned to Starcraft II in 2013, the GSTL folded, having played its last grand finals event in November 2013.

Some foreign teams partnered with local ones to participate in the league, including Evil Geniuses with SlayerS under the name SlayerS-EG, Team Liquid (prior to participating on their own) with Old Generations under oGsTL, and Quantic Gaming with StarTale under StarTaleQ. Axiom-Acer was itself a partnership between Axiom eSports and Team Acer, two non-Korean teams.

Of these, Incredible Miracle, StarTale, MVP, Prime, and EG-Liquid, a combination of Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid, moved to the competing StarCraft II Proleague, some before and some after the dissolution of the GSTL.

History

The Global StarCraft II Team League started in February 2011. For its first iterations, the GSTL was a short, 4 day event that invited the top 8 Korean teams to play and took place within a single month.[4] Following three such events in 2011, This format was eventually abandoned due to the popularity of the events, with the tournament series transitioning to multiple month seasons.[5] The new GSTL format allowed a greater number of teams to participate.[6] The inclusion of new teams led to the debut of non-Korean teams participating in the GSTL, both independently and in partnership with local Korean teams. Following this change, the league hovered between 8 and 12 teams, peaking with the latter twice, once each in 2011 and 2012. For its final season, the 2013 HOT6 GSTL Season 2, the league contracted significantly as three teams left the league, with five participating teams remaining. The format changed once again, including a greatly reworked final playoff tournament.[7]
