MBCGame to shut down? - Page 16

Keep any SC2 vs BW comments out of this thread. This is a thread about Brood War and Esports (Tekken Crash, Special Forces, etc) in general. If you discuss what this means for ESPORTS be sensitive about it.

The Blizzard-Kespa thing probably was a factor in this I would think. I mean shutting down MBC without even trying SC2 for ratings purposes? I know its not that popular in Korea, but still, all that infrastructure for gaming getting shifted into a music channel? Maybe another BW gaming organization bought the gaming related sections, like Hero?

Lets hope for a silver lining, perhaps by cutting off one of its roots BW is finally leaving home and heading out into the world, first stop China. If everything is happening in Korea, BW never got a chance to see if other countries can support it, lets use this proleague final to promote BW instead of lamenting over it

Very sad news. Hopefully this doesn't deter markets in other parts of the world who had inklings of thoughts of starting up a dedicated games channel.

This is ridiculous. Instead of putting some effort into making SC:BW available to a global audience, it is fading into nothing.

GomTV should start a SC:BW tournament in response to this and have English commentators. If a little effort was put into the foreign community SC:BW would get a lot more registered/paying viewers.

It probably will be gone. MBCgame was running at a deficit and the switch to music programming is most likely a business decision so that they don't go bankrupt.

This has less to do with going bankrupt than MBC Plus Media being asses.


Well I would think that if the company had good finances then they wouldn't risk moving on to an already well established market. But you know a lot more about it than me ofc.

MBCGame channel itself is not turning much profit yes but it's pretty much always been this way. The problem lies with the parent company, MBC Plus Media, which has money but sees no point in investing it in the gaming channel.


so in other words they think changing it to a music channel will generate more revenue for them instead of mbc game channel ???? fucking kidding me...

Yep. When the CEO (or was it director?) of MBC Plus Media passed away early in the year, there was some indication that the company would make changes to its subsidiaries.

Anyway, they're a bunch of morons. More so than ever.

Good work MBC, go compete with the other music channels.

This is ridiculous, it's great watching a game with so much quality lose out to garbage kpop.

These SC2 guys need a taste of their own medicine, whenever something happens in the BW scene like retirements and the STX thing, they just jump on it and ignore the fact that the rest of us are affected by the news negatively. Maybe one day MC will retire and play SC3 or something.

I'm usually quite reserved with regards to comments about these people, but seriously? One of the 2 major GAMING channels in Korea is in trouble and all you can think about are the potential SC2 benefits?

People these days... no respect at all.

I hope the scene makes it through; this is so sudden. Man I'm sure the coming MSL group selection ceremony is going to be awkward.
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

What is going on in Korea? I'd like to tap Super Daniel Man on this, he was always talking about the decline in popularity of BW, but I had thought that was primarily bitter ranting.

the sad reality is that it is true.
what's even sadder is that mnet and km are the only two relevant music channels on cable in korea. mbc's new channel probably wont make a dent in their ratings.


NO !!!! I don't like the idea of mbc game channel being sacrificed to be some sort a nobody channel who is not even relevant to the music industry and can't even compete with the other channel ? This isn't happening T_T

BW is kind of ugly to the untrained eye, it would be a hard sell to an audience that knows nothing about it.

MBC게임이 채널 변경과 관련해 포모스에 공식적인 입장을 전해왔다.

MBC게임의 제작을 총괄하는 장재혁 제작팀장은 “음악 채널로 바뀔 수 있다는 내용이 단순한 루머인 것은 아니다. 하지만 아직까지 결정된 것은 아무 것도 없다. 내부에서도 의사 결정이 진행 중이며 여기서 어떤 결론을 내릴 지는 확정된 상태가 아니다. 또한 결정이 된다고 하더라도 방송통신위원회에서 허락을 맡아야 하는 등 서류상으로 절차들이 남아 있는데 아직 그 단계까지 간 것도 아니다”라고 말했다.

장 팀장은 이어서 “MBC게임과 관련된 소식으로 인해 e스포츠에 대한 우려의 시선들이 커지는 것을 원치 않는다”며 “채널이 바뀔 수 있는 가능성이 있듯 바뀌지 않을 가능성도 함께 있기 때문에 이 문제로 불필요한 파장이 더 이상 없기를 바란다”는 뜻을 전했다.

또한 장 팀장은“모 매체에서 MBC게임이 음악채널로 변경이 확정됐다는 식의 기사가 나간 것을 알고 있다. 분명히 지금 시점에서는 섣부른 보도”라며 이에 대해 이의를 제기할 생각이라고 밝혔다.


The article says nothing is decided yet and is very much in a preliminary stage. The article also mentions that the articles which have been published yet are very much exaggerating the matter as of the moment.
