The way KeSPA works is that it operates Proleague in Korea at a loss as an advertizing machine for its member companies. The reason why it costs anything at all to us in the rest of the world is that the advertizing to us isn't a complete slam dunk to them. If a korean sees STX, Woongjin, etc then that can affect his consuming habits. If we foreigners see proleague we might see Samsung and buy a TV or a galaxy phone later, at best which is only one of their member companies. So that's subscription model vs advertizing model. Why is the cost $5? That could turn out to be an introductory price. It's not free so we get used to paying for the service and cheap enough to get a LOT of people interested, tuning in to proleague and not GOMTV. I think what KeSPA and spoTV want above all is an advertizing model so the subscription is free. If they can show the global audience tunes in, love the content a whole bunch and watch for hours on end... then a global sponsor will no doubt become interested, buy advertizing and lets that money subsidize the costs of the english broadcast. | ||

Also, paying the casters more isn't going to suddenly make them suck less. I don't how you even came to that conclusion. Ditto for the players as well. Leagues and tournaments don't exist in a vacuum. If you suck in one, you devalue yourself as a player. You either won't be invited or might not qualify for other tournaments. Teams pay more for a player with good results. A player with good results is also more marketable to advertisers. Players have every reason to try their hardest in every competition, and that goes the same for casters. Similarly as a caster, if you give a shitty performance in one tournament, companies aren't going to be busting down your door to cast their event.

Also, if I wanted to learn Korean during a broadcast from some white guys, I would pay Rekrul in wong to teach me. Rekrul is very literate in South Korean, but some netizens have the North Korean dialect. | ||

KeSPA can sell Proleague for cheap because their core market is still Korea. The $5 subscription is a nice but not essential extra income, and the low price allows to reach more potential viewers (let's face it, kids on the internet are CHEAP). The KeSPA scene developed very different and has a very different economic model. By measuring the KeSPA scene using GSL metrics, you are essentially comparing apples to oranges.

Not quite. In both words I replace the "r" sound with a "w" sound; that's the joke. | ||

Technically, foreign teams can only pick up ESF and T8 players because KeSPA wants to trim the expenses of running the team. I have no problem with the lower cost. Nothing wrong with healthy competition and the low fee makes it far more bearable than spending money on PPVs for a four day event. Nothing wrong with trying to bring down cost and there are some casters out there who are making a ridiculous amount of money. I'm all for competition. It's multifaceted. | ||
