MLG have announced that their 2012 season will be split between four seasonal Championships. Full details about the Winter Championship are now also known.
After a highly successful 2011, MLG have opted for a little shake up. This could be viewed as a smart move for the organisation who came under fire a little last season following the format that granted Korean players a privileged position. The most significant change is the division of the year into four seasonal competitions; Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Each of these will culminate in a Championship event.
