You actually mentioned the reason for its stagnation: it's the fact that it doesn't have the huge spectating in Korea when you contrast it with BW.
Because of that, it doesn't seem like people are losing interest because there wasn't a huge number that had interest in the first place. All of the are diehards staying around, while the few casual fans are fading away, thus it makes it seem like it isn't losing any steam.
There's certainly potential for SC2 in Korea once the expansions start rolling out, add that to the already huge popularity around the rest of the world and you'll have a game that may stay around for a while.

Ghaa Jaedong needs to win 2 more OSLs before he switches.. PLEASE GOD PLEASE! I'd be happy with 1 OSL and this final MSL. He needs to get that golden badge.
Yeah, he really needs this final MSL. The 4th OSL would also work as well. ^^
On the issue of teams, it seems like STX would be the best for keeping a balanced league. The fact that the management or coach (I forget which) originally put up basically ALL the players for trade or something makes me think something's odd there.
I would rather JD go to Khan or KT, if he has to go to one of the remaining teams. He would completely solve Khan's current Zerg problem, and Oz and Khan seemed pretty close. Jaedong would be a great fit at KT as well, since him and Flash are good friends, and KT treats their players pretty well.
Please not SKT, though. SKT has been the destroyer of zergs (or at least ones they bought).

You need to look at more recent stuff, Jaedong's ZvT is looking fantastic as of late though his other matchups are suffering of this.

I mainly agree with you, I would be okey with Jaedong going to either STX or Khan, preferably Khan. Just not SKT!!

Pffshht Bisu ain't no fist.
Bisu is like a soft rainbow studded pillow made out of unicornfur, stuffed with the softest peacockfeathers known in the fairykingdom.

you've got it all wrong. Recently, almost everyone has been playing poor TvZ; Jaedong's ZvT looks fantastic by comparison.
Once Flash recovers, no doubt he will destroy JD, but JD is still likely to beat everyone else (except Bisu)

Fuck yes. They need to meet again in a Starleague final so that JD can show what's what. Unfortunately, he'll probably roll ZvZs at earlier rounds and get knocked out.

What if the 3 disbanding teams merged into one by a new company?
Jaedong, Sea and Baby on the same team. Could work.
But only big teams have good protoss. I never understood that.
