Korean Air probably wants some attention from China (good for business) OGN might want an expansion in China as well Definitely not impossible. I'll watch that playsc thread and update with info if they come up | ||

1) Two Chinese media companies (PLU and NeoTV) officially obtained OSL broadcasting right. NeoTV is from Shanghai, and PLU is in a city close to Shanghai. 2) The STX week will run at the end of August in the Korean pavilion of Shanghai 2010 Expo. There will be 4 STX soul players (currently TossGirl and JulyZerg are confirmed) playing against the Chinese players (F91, Legend, Kurafi and Toodming) between Aug 25 and 29. (hosted by NeoTV) Source: http://news.msn.co.kr/article/read.html?cate_code=3400&article_id=201008131342061014&pos=esports1 (hint: you may wanna use Google Translate) 3) See the crowds in Chengdu WCG 2009. You can imagine what would be in Shanghai. Again, I am still highly suspicious. | ||

As I've said, it'll be a massive, massive disservice to Korean fans. You think Chinese are going to care for two Koreans playing each other? Either way, I read Cho Hyun Min's cyworld, and she posted a teaser about where the finals will be held. Someone asked "You should host it outside the country this time. It'll be good for Korean Air promotion. How about somewhere like Beijing?" Her reply: "What about the fans inside the country? ^^" If OGN does this it'll be literally the worst PR move they have made, especially after the OSL final incident last season. I don't see this happening, especially with zero Korean sources even mentioning this. | ||

Written Chinese has two forms: Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, they are generally mutually intelligible. While spoken Chinese like Mandarin, Cantonese, MinNanYu (Dialect mainly spoken by Taiwanese) are generally NOT mutually intelligible. Similarly for those hundreds of dialects from China. | ||

The aside from Taiwan refers to the Taiwanese writing in traditional text instead of simplified which most of China uses now. Also, I don't really find this believable. Maybe for the MSL if they had troubles with Gretech... =/ | ||

I agree with your point that OGN should care more about the Korean fans. | ||

During the final, OGN and NeoTV will host a ceremony to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of WCG. If this is true... lol I can feel the outrage already. | ||
