Posting some random ESPORTS news from the past month! (Sorry if they've been posted elsewhere, I just didn't see any)


CJ's coach Cloud retires, runs Korean BBQ restaurant
[image loading]

CJ's coach Cloud retired at the end of August, not long after leaving ACE and rejoining CJ as their coach. He had to take over his father's Korean BBQ restaurant business after the passing away of his father, thus being forced into retirement. The CJ players now frequent the place, whom he is rather happy to serve.

For those that want the address to visit:
서울특별시 영등포구 영등포동4가 95번지 1층

According to DES reporters, the restaurant is not easy to find, they had to call for directions.

OGN's approval rates of their SC2 cast "improved significantly" in the second week
[image loading]

Remember how much problems there were in the first week of SC2 broadcast by OnGameNet? If you don't remember, it was enough for IM's coach to post heavy complaints on Twitter.

OGN somehow got the hint, and spent $10000 on upgrading their computers just for SC2. To ensure that the computers will work, they even invited teams such as IM, SlayerS and oGs to take part in the test. The test involved 200/200 army battles, with multiple spell casting during the test as well to ensure that the game will run smoothly under any situation.

The players who played on the 1st of August matches approved the changes. IM's MVP said, "It is unfortunate for the players who played before the changes. I heard about the changes after the end of the test, and sure enough, when I came down to play, everything was perfect."

Even online netizens were positive with their comments. One commented, "Everything bad about their first broadcast has been fixed. The graphics are now better, the observer screen is clearer, and the Internet HD broadcast is much more higher quality."

OGN's PD-in-charge said, "We worked carefully to rectify the problems from our first run of broadcasts. We look forward to broadcasting more games of high quality."

Malaysia opens their first ESPORTS stadium
[image loading]

Malaysian ESPORTS fans rejoice! Malaysia opened their first ESPORTS stadium arena, together with the partnership of MyCORE (Malaysia Cybergame Operation & REsearch) and Spotgamers (an ESPORTS community) in their Malaysia National IT Center.

It plays host to over a hundred PCs and consoles, all with the ability to stream their games live, thanks to fibre optic connections. There is also a special stage for casted games, as well as 10 practice rooms to draw out the best ESPORTS players in the country.

LoL to be broadcast on TV in Korea!
[image loading]

Riot Games announced their plans to launch their hit game, League of Legends (LoL) in Korea, as well as to have LoL tournaments broadcast on TV. There are also talks to allow clan battles in PC bangs.

Tournament broadcast is presumed to start together with the official launch of the game. The game is currently in alpha stages in Korea.

Despite having similar genre competitors already in Korea, such as "Chaos", "DotA" (both WC3-map variant games) and Avalon Online, Riot Game's Korean branch President said that he doesn't "see them as competition", and instead, "partners in growing ESPORTS", "all with different styles that caters to the consumers' different tastes and preferences."

There is no fixed release date.

Nice Blog thanks for the update =].

whaaaaaaaaaaat
can't even recognize mind and stats.

glad cloud is getting a nice job after progaming
Owning and running a restaurant is a lot better than what a lot of people have to look forward to anyways.

Stats :'( It's obvious he was slowly transforming into a zealot, think about it, do zealots open and close their mouths?

You're going against nature damnit!
