It's not the end of the world yet.

Yes, the situation doesn't look spectacular right now, especially not for BW, and not exactly brilliant for esports industry either.

There's a lot of inside things that go around the e-Sports industry for sure. A lot of them we don't know, good and bad. But remember, a lot of the proteams are still showing signs of surviving and looking forward to the next season. Let's not call it off dead yet.

We're in rough times. Let's not make it worse by panicking, jumping ship, etc. It's not dead yet, stay hopeful. The more you panic, the more others panic, and honestly it's not the best move.

One of Fomos' reporters has mentioned that he will have some good news for BW leagues soon. Let's stay hopeful, alright? :D

I really hope you're right. But damn, first the scandal, then retirements, then coaches resigning, and a team disbanding sure is bad news.

That Fomos reporter better say something like Savior is back in bonjwa status or something lol =/

Yea of course. How many times has there been no sponsor for a league and then everything is fine? I'm confident there will be more seasons.

Yes, BW won't die *just yet* but... it's not much more that Blizzard needs to pull off in order to finally kill its own game...

Also factor in the fact that it is the off season - the time when 100000 things change. Remember one season when oov, kingdom, jju, chojja, garimto etc all retired? This is nothing compared to that

I don't see Nada and JulyZerg leaving as a pressing issue to be honest.

Nada and JulyZerg are heroes to Korean gamers. Their jump may cause young potential progamers to stop playing BW and move on to SC2. How many players do you think will be drafted onto BW teams next year?

Not only young potential progammers but also other B-teamers who really have nothing to lose by switching. Many A-B progammers dont even enjoy starcraft anymore

Just as many people applied to join a proteam. Just that very few people were actually drafted since "it's kinda uncertain" at this point.

If KeSPA - Gretech work something out, there'll be a lot more drafts.

This is just depressing, but I'll enjoy every last minute of bw e-sports before it inevitably falls apart.

I dont see how one (of the worst) of prolegue teams possibly disbanding and a few oldschool stars (who doesnt even play the much often) going to SC2 matters much, now upcoming lawsuit between Kespa/Gretech might be a lot worse, but I dont think that is too much of a deal.
Nostalgia is not as good as it used to be.
