Any koreans here wanna shed some light on this?

BroodWar seems to have a bigger fanbase then it did in 2002-2003, why are big companies dropping out? Won't they just make more money?

Also, can any Koreans here shed some light upon the situation?

There's no light to shed, they just don't have a sponsor yet.

Also note the last 3 (Clubday, Lost Saga, Avalon) went down after sponsoring MSL. Clubday closed their service, Lost Saga is about to, and Avalon isn't doing that well either.

Kespa would kill itself and the universe would implode, according to my calculations at least.

Welcome to the real world kespa. - I see this as good news, as kespa is in a position so commanding that it is only bad for the game and its' players.
- Kespa is made for money, not for quality.

Oh wow. O.o. No wonder that companies are avoiding MSL like a plague.

Crossing fingers, guys...

Thx for the answer.

"the universe would implode" was actually the fist think that came to my mind after that question lol, so it must be true

Blizzard would be a realistic option if MBCGame is desperate enough.

MBCGame would be more concerned about its self-survival. What's Kespa gonna do? Ban MSL?

Maybe Kespa can sponsor MSL lol.

I am just spurting random crap without regard to the internal politics going on here.

I have a feeling that they're probably looking in the wrong place. We've all been joking for a long time about how stupid it is that they keep getting crappy MMOs, but maybe those jokes should have been turned into legitimate criticism.

I hope MSL does not happen. There are too many leagues already in Starcraft. The quality of the games is going down for the most part. Way too much just spammage of games and conventional play. I'm tired of it and the progamers are too. There is nothing fun about playing SC like a machine. Like Nal-Ra said, there would be a lot more creativity if they weren't playing 3 games a week.

There should be one individual leage and one PL. That is PLENTY! I'd rather watch 1 good game than 5 mediocre ones.

Anyways, I wish SKT actually sponsored something now. Ever since they pulled out of IEF last year, they just sit there doing nothing

Why have the prelims before knowing if the rest of the tournament may be too costly?
