GOM TV Star Invitational
eSports' first tournament of the champions!

GOM TV Star Invitational brings together the world's best players who have shown the best performance in tournaments around the world in 2007.

Sixteen players including international tournament champions and top 16 players from the KeSPA ranking will compete to become the champion of champions.

Every match of the tournament, the first of its kind and the largest in eSports history, is guaranteed to give you a thrill.

Stay tuned to find out who's going to be the best of the best players in history.

This isn't just a tournament of Champions, it is the best glimpse of Korean Professional Gaming some of us will ever see online. In a move to reach out to the viewers outside of Korea, Gretech Corp. has sponsored this tournament and is going to broadcast it overseas using servers from both the United States of America and Japan. They have allotted enough room for 40,000 viewers and has even hired a 24/7 maintenance team during the duration of the tournament to make sure that all services are going smoothly.

This venture has been said to cost $1,000,000 USD. This project will be utilized by Gretech Corp.'s flagship media player, GOM TV. It's easy to install and to view, all you have to do is go to their site and click play. To help get in on the action and caught up on all the action, GosuGamers.net and I have prepared a preview of all the players and what you need to know before deciding on your GosuBets. After reading each preview, be sure to scroll to the bottom of each Group page and click on the GosuBet links to make your bets. Remember each group is a round robin with only the top two players making it out of each group. Good luck!

Special thanks to all the crew who helped to aid me in this fairly long feature.
