Well, the money invested in the champion's prize will return as an investment on SKT1. Sounds like a win-win for SK :p

SK Planet, part of the SK Telecom Platform, has been showing great interest toward the e-sports in order to expand their horizon.

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.

While it's a good thing that PL is continuing, overall it shouldn't be considered good news, since the diversity of sponsors has been reduced (on top of the loss of team sponsors).

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.

Bad news at least for me,since if sponsors are coming out from kespa themselves that would mean that there are less and less people who want to sponsor BW related events and teams... especially if a long standing sponsor such as shinhan bank decides to pull out of sponsoring proleague now.

Oh well, at least we still get to see proleague after all... I really hope the economical situation for BW starts to look up

SK doing a lot for the BW scene. First a team and now sponsoring the entire PL? Korean Air and Shinham Bank would benefit from having a team of their own

ahh good news finally some PL . 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

The legacy lives! I'm so happy. The lack of BroodWar in my life turned my heart black. Maybe now it can heal a little.
