The E-sport organization and SK Planet are expected to both benefit and have a win-win scenario as they globalize their platform and be better known worldwide. SK Planet, Lee Jin Woo has stated that “SK Planet hopes to continue to work hard with the e-sports and hopes to glorify e-sports and satisfy the fans as a main sponsor of e-sports.” From http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/special/2011/10/182_96442.html - SK Planet unveils global ambitions The CEO went on to say that SK Planet is aiming at becoming the top platform company in Asia in five years. T Store is currently the top local app store, with 9.6 million users nationwide and 190,000 registered items. It has 45 million downloads a month on average, and 8.6 billion won in monthly transactions. The CEO is looking to the worldwide market: “We succeeded in the Korean market, but it was in a walled garden. SK Planet is the new challenge toward the global market.” T Store is scheduled to move into the Japanese market this year, following a partnership with China Mobile, Lenovo and Gree of Japan. Please bring PL back to China. No more typhoons I promise. | ||

Just like nate (also part of SK group!) sponsoring MSL at the last minute, SK Planet sponsoring PL (at the last minute again) might be evidence that SK group had to step in at the last moment because nobody else was willing to fund things. I do hope Kespa tries to expand to China again. Actually, I'm now actually nervous about the possibility that Team 8 won't actually get sponsored (when I wasn't worried before the PL sponsor was announced)...despite the fact that it's probably THE top-tier team right now. | ||

. Ive been dying to see some BW for weeks. Hmm about the sponsor I dont know what to think about the situation since Kespa wont tell anybody the truth anyways. They said there are some sponsors for the teamless players iirc (Team 8) but its still Kespa sponsored.. and there are so many teams gone now and MBC shut down their E-Sport section  Oh well I know that I well travel with Korean Air if I should ever go to Korea .. :D Effort fuck yeah | ||
