Only a few weeks have past since the conclusion of the inaugural North American Star League and the community is already getting excited about season two.

The event was a massive success and attracted huge numbers of fans both live and the grand finals and watching on the many streams, with many of the worlds best SC2 players flying over to take part. After a lengthy elimination stage the grand final came down to two Korean players in the shape of Ho-Joon 'Puma' Lee and Jang Min 'MC' Chul, with the match going the distance and PuMa coming out on top after seven tense maps.

Earlier this week the player list for the up-coming second season was released on the NASL website and it looks like SC2 fans are in for a treat, with perhaps the strongest field we've seen at a major international event. 14 players have qualified for the tournament - with 12 of them hailing from Korea - whilst they will be joined by 31 players returning from season one.
