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.

Not exactly, but it effectively makes E-SPORTS in Korea half of what it was.

Ah, the poor commentators and staff ;-;

No.

Big blow, but not dead. I mean, look at the Proleague Finals. Tickets get put up and 1,000 are sold in less than ten minutes. 75+ people still show up to the studios to watch the team games and important singles matches. The finals are still packed with loads of fans. The top players have gigantic fanbases and clubs.

This just means MSL is dead, there will only be one league, Proleague is in major trouble, and MBC Hero might be fucked. MBC Hero has needed money for a long time and even had to give up Light to Stars. Now it looks like they just lost their primary sponsor.

Also MBC had the best commentators. Where do they go now?

seems like its MSL's turn to create drama now
Jaedong beats other players. Bisu beats other players, in PL. Flash beats Starcraft.

Can anybody give any sort of indication of the kind of ratings MBCGame's shows received recently? Especially BW of course.

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.


If they don't pick Proleague will it even happen since half the games won't be aired? I guess OGN could do some picture in picture like GTR or split screen or something, but ^_^

As much as it sucks relax guys, this is an opportunity for another organization to step in, one which will take advantage of the quality of todays live streams and will be sustainable.
