Stop being jerks to each other please. Stop talking about seperate TL sites, BW vs SC2, or which fan base is retarded/ignorant/elitist/old/constipated.

Don't post in the thread unless you take the time to read the situation.

Don't post in the thread to let others know that they should have been banned longer.

Don't post in the thread to claim that kespa is the evil empire based on you reading the translated musing of a random Chinese blogger.

Honestly people, this is common sense. I hate the fact that I have to moderate to the lowest common denominator. Make my job easier please.

Good news. Kespa stepping in is logic and normal decision . They can guarantee stability for at least another season imo.

I don't understand much of these news, but since most of the people say it's good news I will consider that BW is saved!

Finally some good news for a change. It is great to see there is still corporate interest in forming these BW teams.

I understand the new sponsor part, which was needed, but why is there a whole new management system. To prevent disbanding? Does this mean that the BW community is going to pool sponsorship money and put all their eggs in one basket? I guess in the short run its financially a bit more stable then having teams do individual financing, but in the long run doesn't this put the entire league at risk? Tying everyone to a single money pool means its a one shot negotiation period for the contract renewal not for just one team, but for everyone?

Also, whats the public opinion of KeSPA in recent memory? I know in the past they were in a bit of a negative light, but while this news is certainly a good change of pace from norm lately, isn't this kind of bitter sweet in a way?

They make questionable decisions with rules and such which gets them some (often deserved) flak, but they have always been incredibly important for the stability of pro BW. This is more proof of that

Sziky and Kolll. If LRM) was in Korea, and training in Korea, with a couple additions of the strongest player from the following best 2 foreign teams, then yes.

This is nonsense ,no way kespa is going to give you exemptions unless you have pro gaming license . If you guys seriously want to establish your own team , you could have at least win a courage tournament and say okay I am a pro gamer now . Look I have the credentials to play these game good and I am up to the level of korean pro gamers . Sponsors will flock to you obviously and no doubts from kespa will even accept your team in to the league .

But they don't say to what extend the companies are willing to sponsor for all we know there's only 1 big sponsor and 5 very small ones. If that's the case it gives a whole other message than 6 big sponsors. I'm glad they found some sponsors though ^^.

Cautious optimism is good, but when you consider the alternative (dire BW situation over all) I think this is unequivocally good.

What could realistically be better? The Pope, Barack Obama, Dave Beckham, and Blizzard all saying BW is their highest priority and committing half of the resources under their control to it?

This is awesome news imo. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
