Well ProLeague and MBC have been running at a loss for quite a while now so even with sponsorship renewed, it seems dubious as to how they could continue in bad business situation. It may be that the leagues are overexpanded for the current market interest. While 3 big leagues mightve been optimal at the height of BW in mid 2000s, with the current decreased interest it is time to wrap up some of the activities, liquidate, and continue the ones that can still turn a profit. Not good change for a fan- but to remain active it may be necessary in next season or so.

Even if the accounting can show it's "running at a loss" there's actually only one useful metric - to compare the cost of running PL to the costs of producing a televised show that attracts roughly the same audience. (Maybe kdramas or something?)

As long as the cost of running PL is comparable or cheaper than other shows that attract a similar audience (in demographic and size) then PL will remain.

I have a feeling though that when pro BW dies - it will be killed from within. Someone will have killed the goose that lays the golden eyes.

You have 10 hours to go back to Beijing, it's not like PL Grand Finals isn't worth a sleepless night.

My friend is in China for the summer. I asked if he was going to see the finals. He said he leaves on the 6th. I nearly cried. ):

Well, if they can get a proper audience it should be fine.
If you have to ask, you don't know.
