On May 22, the top two players from the GSL (Zest and TY) will face off against the top two from the SSL (Dark and Stats) to determine the best player in Korea for Season 1 of 2016. Whoever claims this title will take with it a $17,000 first place prize and 1,000 WCS points. The upcoming Korea Cross Finals is the main arena where the absolute highest echelon of players will battle across tournament-lines during Season 1. In addition, this event will also host a $4,300 Archon showmatch where the two GSL finalists will face off versus their SSL counterparts and display levels of skill which we may never before have witnessed in StarCraft II.
