The second season of WCS Korea, now under OGN's production, is scheduled to start on June 18th featuring Flash and reigning Korea champion Soulkey. The Group of Death with KangHo, Jangbi, Fantasy and Life is scheduled for a week later.
While all eight groups are stacked to the verge of bursting, another element of the upcoming OSL is what draws attention. Unlike the seasons produced by GomTV, the next season of WCS Korea will feature a Bo1 double elimination groups in the Ro32 and Bo3 round-robin groups in the Ro16.
While the Bo1 has always been a controversial choice in premier tournaments and one frowned upon by players and fans alike, OGN have stated that the situation cannot be changed due to "logistical reasons".
Regarding WCS S2 Ro32 bo1 games: we know the concerns, but it can't be modified now for logistical reasons. Thank you for understanding #WCS

The changes in the group stages will, however, be the only thing that will be different from Season 1, as the format for the playoffs as well as the prize pool and its distribution remain the same. The second champion of WCS Korea and the winner of $20,000 will be determined on August 10th.
