2010 MSL Season 1 Group Selection Ceremony will go ahead without a definite sponsor.
The 2010 MST has ended on the 11th, with the Group Ceremony happening on the 25th, but MSL has not been able to secure a sponsor as of yet, therefore the Group Ceremony will go ahead without one.
MBC Game announced:"We have not finalized a sponsor, and are still in conference with the potential sponsor. We believe that we will be able to announce it soon."
2010 MSL will begin its three-month long campaign after the Group Ceremony

IN OTHER NEWS (this one's a shortie so I don't want to make another topic about it)
STX SouL's  Hwasin has been out of line-up due to family emergency.
Hwasin has been granted leave from the team to take care of his sick grandmother. He will likely not appear in STX's line-up in the near future.
There is no official news though, but the news is confirmed by some e-sports journalist.

ALSO IN THE NEWS
Apparently, on the 21st, STX went to a 2-day-1-night vacation trip in Gangwon-do. Hwasin was unable to participate though, due to the family emergency mentioned above. Players will have some free time until the 28th.

I'm curious, will this group selection be translated as well as the Nate MSL's? That was a fantastic subbing job, I really enjoyed it.

Thank god the MSL continues this time, not a month long wait like last time.
And poor Hwasin.

There are tentative plans to sub the group selections.
Great work at not having a sponsor again, msl. Bang up job over there.

Yes. It is in l10f's plans to get this churned out by the end of the first week of April.
Ughh, got beat by heyoka.

So that's the reason why they send 3 zergs to take out Woongjin. Poor Hwasin.
Also, the top kespa-ranked player on each team will no longer get a free seed into the MST starting next season, if I didn't misread.

No sponsor yet? Scary!
I hope it's just finalizing details like they say..
Hwasin <3
edit: no longer get a free seed?? interesting. I like it.

Wow. Power outage is hanging over the head of the MSL.
At least they have the fact that Jaedong is still in their league, which will help ratings.
|
Ahaha, maybe the MSL will shape up - serves them right.
Or will they end up in a downward spiral? Sponsors see that the product sucks, spend less. MSL has less budget, so product sucks. Etc.
Well, MBC should draw some extra funding elsewhere to slowly make their show respectable again, then they can get bigger sponsorships. Or, perhaps it's the twilight of Broodwar.

Is there any info out there on how much MBC is asking for the sponsorship rights? I'm curious how much it is (and they can't get)....

that's true, OGN got a huge sponsor. But is the viewer base eroding?
The sponsors care only about the Korean audience numbers, but once thing to note is that the viewer counts on TL restreams have declined dramatically since the SC2 beta comes out. Although the tastes of our community don't necessarily reflect the tastes of the Korean audience (especially the fangirls), I do think it's a sign of things to come.

i just read this on fomos:
new potential MSL sponsor thought the virtual studio was awesome and wants every MSL match to take place in it. MBC is debating whether or not to do it.

Can't believe it's taking them this long to get a sponsor, they must really suck.

I'm sure the fans who arrive early and wait in long lines just to see their favorite player in person will have no problem staring at a screen instead, just like on television at home!
Wait.
Does the MSL want a fanbase at all? Fans before sponsors. Without fans, you will have no sponsors in the future anyways , as you'll lose your audience.

I don't know if that's a joke or if you're serious. Please tell me it's a joke.
