After reading Milkis' blog about his MLG experience(http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=230893)
I just had something posssibly crazy pop into my head. He said Moon arrived with Daniel who is an executive with WeMade Fox! Could he have accompanied Moon to MLG to see how the SC2 scene is shaping up globally and possibly recommend to the higher ups that it would be worthwhile to pursue more resources being allocated to form a bigger SC2 division (Lynn and Moon currently not sure if they are still in it for just the WC3 scene) of their progaming teams?
It could be my imagination but wouldn't it be cool if WeMade Fox decided to recruit more pro gamers and form a full fledged SC2 division? Since the KeSPA vs Blizzard thing has been as resolved as we are going to see it for now it might have opened that door for them.
For me this would be huge because WeMade Fox is my most favourite BW team.
This is only the late night thoughts of someone who does not have any knowledge of the happenings of Korean teams outside of articles and news we have translated. Just some food for thought on something big that could happen. I for one hope this is the case(A BW team and a SC2 Team for the big Korean proleague teams)!

WeMade Fox is an awesome e-sports team overall, so it would be a great addition to the scene if they heavily committed to SC2, but this is still pretty speculative overall obviously.
Anyone know more info about Daniel from WeMade Fox?
|
I talked to him briefly at MLG, and he was definitely excited about the Western scene. He gave me his card to contact him if we needed anything else from Moon. I don't know if there are plans for WeMade Fox to expand, but they're most certainly interested in events outside of Korea.

I think you're getting your hopes a bit high; there's not much evidence besides him traveling there with moon (and that's about it)
I doubt he came with some sort of hidden agenda besides just seeing how things turned out

wemade recently dumped their counterstrike team though, after having them on for years. I don't see them wanting to expand any more than what their old WC3 team was. Just the second team to their current BW team.

It would be an interesting endeavor from WeMade, but I think most of the talent has already been recruited onto the existing teams. I think it would be much more likely for WeMade to sponsor an existing SC2 team, possibly adopting it and renaming it as the "official" WeMade Fox SC2 team.
IMO, BW teams and sponsors are much more likely to sponsor existing SC2 teams instead of full out creating a team from scratch. I'm sure teams like Prime, Zenex, fOu, and MVP are itching for some big sponsors and would be more than happy to accept a sponsorship from an existing BW sponsor, perhaps even adopting the title as the sponsor's official SC2 team. CJ-Prime? STX-fOu? These would be interesting possibilities.

Keep in mind WeMade's actual business - Korean online games, especially mmorpg's
will sponsoring more SC2 players help promote its business?
