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.

Also the number of sponsors is interesting, it sounds like there's enough to cover the teams plus Proleague and OSL and even MSL sponsorship (possibly the MSL could continue even if it's not on MBC?). I would not be surprised to see a Korean Air team now.

Are you sure that kespa said there is going to be a new managing system under kespa? I can't find anything about it in the korean article.

Teams being managed by KeSPA makes me nervous. I mean, it makes sense that a team shouldn't be in danger of collapsing if the sponsor drops out, but KeSPA generally gives me the creeps. I wonder what the players think about this.

Lastly, there will be a new managing system next seasons; teams will be completely managed by Kespa but they will be still sponsored by original sponsors. It will be easier for Kespa to manage, and players will be under the same management to preserve fairness, and as well as preventing match fixing and team disbanding.


Um this sounds like a terrible idea, but I am willing to take it for the sake of keeping BW with a full 8-team lineup. This is a rather autocratic approach to handling the economic situation at hand. Relinquishing all management duties to the players association guarantees that teams are less likely to fudge up their economic standing, but it gives Kespa control of almost the entirety of pro BW. What happens when Kespa makes a shitty decision and they don't want to address their mistake? Will the Korean BW community just bend over and take it? What happens if a big company wants to make a stake in pro BW, but Kespa doesn't want to relinquish any power?

Perhaps I miss-interpreting what is being said, but I think this is a horrible idea. On the other hand I am happy that we will have 8 teams to cheer for.

Yeah I really don't understand that bit at all, although great news that we're keeping BW.

Hmm, it seems people really don't trust Kespa at all. I say give them a shot at this, it's new territory.

Great news for our great game!

Hold on: does this mean kespa chooses line ups? That would be rather awkward considering all of the snipers in BW (CJ especially). And how does this prevent match fixing? Kespa could very well be fixing matches whereas coaches have little to no knowledge of who will be played from the other teams.

Brood War lives on!!! Although I am not in full faith and support of Kespa intervening even more, I feel that this is necessary and well-deserved, considering the problems that were surrounding BW recently. I cannot wait until November!! :-)

I find it odd that Kespa is going to manage the teams, really curious as to how that's going to work out. Other than that I believe this is pretty good news.

I can't wait. But i'll guess we'll have to wait to see how they'll actually manage it.
