Blizzard MSL? It makes sense.
Of course, the main argument against the guess of "Blizzard MSL" is that Blizzard is at odds with Kespa, but I'm not sure how tight MBC is with Kespa. If MBC doesn't take orders from Kespa, then that sponsorship is totally a possibility.
Blizzard MSL is also oddly the first thing to come to me.
but if you think about it, what better way to advertise the newly release of sc2 to the biggest sc1 consumers.
Besides, we had some public publications of the blizzard/kespa argument, showing they had been talking alot recently. Blizzard sponsoring is like, solving those issues they have with starleagues and preparing the terrain for sc2.

They say the sponsor is from a industry that hasn't sponsored MSL before, so that rules out Blizzard since they've been sponsored by game developers before.
|
MBC is an influential member on the board of Kespa, it's not Blizzard.

A corporation close with the e-sports fans yet has never sponsored before?
Assuming this includes sponsoring teams as well it gets a bit uh .. weird.
Blizzard? Not really.. kespa wouldn't like it most likely and Blizz probably isn't interested in bw anymore unless it was a way to market sc2.
My first thought was blizzard TBH, but I highly doubt that will be true.
What industries havn't sponsored eSports before...?

Airforce could be trying to drum up support for the potential hostilities coming up
Also it could be a more international company as well.
BP, to clean up their rep from the oil spill!

Fomos MSL?
cant be Blizzard because game-makers have sponsored MSLs before
|
Google MSL!!! Surely everyone in Korea must have been using google like mad crazy like here in America!!
|
I find it funny though that I actually really wanna support the companies that sponsors starleagues and proleague.
But a bank, security company and an airline :S
Maybe I should fly to korea open a bank account and hire a bodyguard while doing so.

Funny enough, like the only sponsor that is relevant to us in North America is Samsung.
I don't think I own a single item that's made by Samsung. >.<

Intel or AMD maybe?
They're much bigger companies than the MSL has had in the past, but Intel did something with GOM before if I remember correctly. I know AMD sponsored a team in the early 2000s but I don't think they sponsored a league.

I dread for the possibility of Facebook MSL.
