AfreecaTV has announced that it will hold two seasons of GSL Code S in 2024.
- Season 1: February 29 – April 11 (weekly broadcasts at 09:30 GMT (+00:00) every Thursday)
- Season 2: June to July, specific dates TBD
The format of each individual season will be identical to GSL 2023.
The top four players from Season 1 will be seeded into Season 2.
However, there has been a significant reduction in base prize pool, going from â‚©34,000,000 Korean Won per season to â‚©20,000,000 Korean Won. To offset this, the max crowdfund/Patreon contribution per season will be increased from $30,000 to $40,000. The total prize money per season would remain roughly the same as 2023 if crowdfunding goals are reached.
AfreecaTV said it would consider plans for 2024 and 2025 after the conclusion of the Esports World Cup (previously Gamers8).

Probs to Afreeca that they are honest about the next years. Pretty sure at this point they need there to be another Circuit-Season, otherwise being a SC2 progamer in Korea isn’t remotely feasable even for the topdogs

So I assume both will count into the World Cup (atleast if the World Cup is at the same time as Gamers8 was)? This really is a mess how uncertain everything is…

Yes, leaks suggest it will be a July start again (Riot telling teams to clear calendars). Assuming it’s 8 weeks again, seems like SC2 is again laid out for August. I’m assuming all the relevant SC2 players already know the rough timing.

Does this mean there could be one more GSL in the second half/at the end of the year?

Given how close to the edge IEM Katowice was when it was announced, I’m gonna say that no SC2 organizer is operating with any kind of mid or long-term certainty.

I guess Gamers8 is still in the 2023/2024 season, it’s kind of weird because the league ends directly in the middle of the year
so yea I guess it’s possible we get another GSL at the end of 2024, along with 2 more GSL season in 2025 before Gamers8 so it’s still 3 GSLs for each World Championship

2 GSLs and 3 ASLs per year would be great
Eh, id like more than 2 gsls. Especially with a continued shrinking prize pool. But I guess that’s the state of SC2 these days.

Are there going to be 3 ASLs this year?
I was just thinking ASL and GSL both having two tournaments makes sense. Although I miss 3 GSLs + 1-2 Supertournament days 😢
