I suppose in the end for esports it was much better that they were able to settle, so congrats starcraft fans! | ||

Blizzard passionately cares about all its titles, but things have to move on after some point. This doesn't mean BW needs to be forgotten, but that since SC2 is the newest game in the series, it naturally holds the priority in terms of its development in e-sports scene with respect to Blizzard. I think this is quite normal, and interpreting it as "Blizzard only cares about SC2" is just an elitist and "all for me" point of view. | ||

Or maybe they will just make a tourney broadcasted by OGN or MBC and look at the ratings first. I think both of the games can coexist, at least in Korea.

This doesn't mean BW needs to be forgotten, but that since SC2 is the newest game in the series, it naturally holds the priority in terms of its development in e-sports scene with respect to Blizzard. But I mean there are a ton of ppl who watch and love BW in Korea, and also SC2 is growing each day. So I believe they can coexist. | ||

I made thread about this that just got savagely attacked by SC2 vs Broodwar arguments and then shut down so i don't blame anyone outside of Korea for not knowing. I hope that SC2 gets shown on tv at some point. I think that'll it'll be pretty big in Korea, if it does. I mean they have Boxer And Nada to show, so it's instand win, and we all know that Boxer is the biggest name in starcraft ever, and perhaps even in esports. Oh and lets not forget july to... sooo I think it'll be easy for the koreans to embrace SC2, if it gets on tv. What might make a difference though is that not every one who is into RTS gaming enough to watch it on TV is pissed of that Blizzard seems to be trying to shut down the existing very popular Broodwar scene. That might make people more open minded to watch SC2 as well as Broodwar. So we will have to see. Still it can't be bad for either game and hopefully means we can have a little bit less hatred from the 2 communities toward each other. | ||

GOM can sub-license anyone who wants to start a league in Korea. LG has their own running right now and I assume should OGN or MBC wish to do the same they can. AFAIK Anibox only has exclusive rights to the GSL so the GSL at least stays there for a year but OGN/MBC can run their own on their own channels should they want to. | ||
