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.

Alright, one clarification:

Even if the channel changes to Music related (I'm relying on other articles on the web atm), according to the Korean broadcasting laws, 20% of the shows aired can be non-music related.

But even if they do air BW during that time, they need to let go of either MSL/Proleague, as well as ALL other programs.

The Fomos article says nothing's 100% official yet but it's probably happening, although it says it might be possible for them to have a part of the broadcast as gaming and choose from Proleague or MSL.

And this is a REALLY stupid decision. A Music channel is gonna get owned by Mnet, the biggest music channel in Korea. MBC is stupid -_-

Well if it comes down to Proleague or MSL, they'll probably pick Proleague. OSL will just have to be the only singles tournament.
