So of course, KeSPA can consider it a possibility. I mean why wouldn't they. But it's not going to happen judging by Blizzard's actions. And even after all of that if they did agree to whatever terms Blizzard had, set up a whole teams system and create pro licenses, all the shit that would need to be done, who says there's a worthwhile viewerbase for the product that's going to come out at the end? People are not unaware of SC2. Viewers of OGN are not unaware of it. But so far it appears they don't care. I really doubt any of it will happen. They will try to push GSTL/GSL to OGN to broadcast, but there is really no reason for them to let KeSPA be involved and doing so would open up a ton of problems anyway because of how the KeSPA system operates. How can people say 'sc2 is international and should stay that way!' then be the same people who are saying this is apparently good news; Proleague requires players to be around all the time, and teams will stop their players going abroad all the time because their priority is PL. So yeah sure, this is good news if you want SC2 to be centered in Korea and the foreign scene relegated to B level players. | ||

Flash got to the top by paying his dues and putting countless hours in, it wasn't effortless at all. i don't think anyone of those calibers could dominate sc2 right from the get go. most of their advantages don't transition into sc2 that well. macro is way easier in sc2. so the difference to current top sc2 players like mvp/nestea/bomber simply can't be that big. from my point of view, you're currently get the most advantage from timings and micro (mainly terrans). and this takes time. one thing, imo, that's speaks for them is simply the passion and effort players like flash/jd/bisu/aso put into the game. and as much i would love to see jd in sc2...the time/the game isn't ready. i fear his game would look a lot like yellows...and my heart would cry out of sadness. OT: would it be good or bad? depends. first of all, it could fill the void msl has left in the schedule. so that would make kespas move more likely to me. i actually would love to see another sc2 league. to me, the gsl format or the current time period of the seasons is too short. looking at mvps 3 gsl titles...it just feels kinda meaningless compared to three osls. so to have a sc2 pro league and the gsl, kinda like osl/msl, would be awesome. | ||

BW is stabilizing after a peak, not dying), and are thinking of using SC2 to fill in the now-empty timeslot since it's still the second-biggest esport game. Of course, they'll announce this has "we're cutting a day a week out of BW and giving it to SC2", and the community will flip the fuck right out the door across the ocean to Korea. That'll be an amazing thread | ||

Your either trolling or just massively stupid. Koreans generally see brood war as an established e-sport in their own community. Has american football (which the europeans seem to make fun of every chance they get) disappeared because nobody else in the world cares if americans are the best at it? If americans continue to like it, it'll stay, and Korean brood war is no different. | ||

IIRC, NaDa said in an interview that top-tier Terrans switching over from BW wouldn't have much of an impact, but a really good Zerg could potentially shift the metagame profoundly. No idea if he said anything about Protoss, though. | ||

At first I thought it was the former. But the vast majority of Korean netizens think it's the latter.  And they pretty much say Kespa is nuts for thinking of introducing this. The latter would piss me off but the former is fine. As long as I can watch my BW without any interference then it's fine. They can air special forces or street fighter or whatever they want as long as it doesn't effect the viewership of BW. | ||
