This is great news. Now the question is will GSL view count/ratings be as good as BW's.
Friends are simply people you can do/say vulgar things to.

Great news, but this Gretech monopoly is really starting to scare me. Not a fan.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

good news overall i guess. does this mean OGN is basically paying money to blizzard (gretech) from now on to broadcast any proleague/starleagues? i wonder what would happen if they still refused to pay, would anyone enforce blizzard's demands?

Did Korean gov lift the 18+ rating ? If not how can they broadcast Sc2 without breaking the law ? They broadcast on 18+ only channel ?

Yesterday I wasted 20 minutes of my life, i just watched one match between Bratok and TLO in SC2, poor koreans if some BW air time is going to SC2, at the end everything will be about ratings so a long way to go for SC2, right now BW has no competition.

I think a lot of people are willing to give sc2 a try, but I think a lot of the frustration has to do with what seems like a shut down of the BW scene. I think Blizzard only starting talking about enforcing their IP rights pretty recently to make way for the coming of sc2. Blizzard is pretty incentivized to kill off BW and make sc2 popular in korea as I believe they charge a large monthly fee for sc2 to the pc bangs while BW was just a single time purchase game. Plus, they'll have two new expansions coming out soon(?). Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy playing and watching sc2, but I hope that both scenes can thrive independently. However, things don't seem to be pointing towards that outcome. =(

Definitely not liking Gretech atm.... definitely not, the monopolizing and controlling the power to give others to broadcast or not....

At least OGN is in order for the moment....

OGN's stance is pretty much "wait and see" how people react to Starcraft 2 before doing anything on it.

You know... the way it should be done. I can't help but feel as if Blizzard is trying to force it down at the moment.

None of us really know what lies behind all of this, but I can't imagine that it can be a good news for bw in any way.
The fellow who is out to burn things up is the counterpart of the fool who thinks he can save the world. The world needs neither to be burned up nor to be saved. The world is, we are. Transients, if we buck it; here to stay if we accept it. ~H.Miller
