Following the Code S Season 1 finals, AfreecaTV CEO Jung Chan Yong said “It would have felt unfortunate [for our fans], this season being downsized and held partially online. Despite that, our domestic and international fans supported us, so the tournament was that much more meaningful. Thanks to everyone’s passionate support, the next season in July, we’ll play every game offline from the FreecUP studio in Samsung-dong.”

GSL Code S will return to having all its matches played live in studio.

I just hoped that Afreeca allowed foreign advertisements for the English broadcast to expand the monetization other than the short term crowdfunding. Or some local companies like Samsung, Hyundai, CJ, LG, or BigHit which already had bases in foreign countries might be useful.
Otherwise the same things can happen again.
Anyway, that breaking news was a dope one.

Wish that GSL could have had crowdfunding earlier, but i suppose it may have given them a bad look or whatnot.
The dream would be if they re-expand to Ro24 or somehow allow for a tiny bit of new blood so that the scene can stay interesting for a long time
