DES/Fomos releases stuff about "potential sponsors" all the time. Don't you remember Team 8? When DES/Fomos started talking about how a major corporation was possibly sponsoring team 8, by that point it was just pure PR cause by that point it was going to be KeSPA operated just some perspective on things related to the shit you read | ||

I thought the biggest sign was Shinhan pulling out of proleague sponsorship. That to me is a huge signal that BW is just not a viable investment anymore. On the other hand, SK has a huge stake in BW so I am not surprised that they're taking over the PL reigns, but the sum of it all is one major sponsor out of the race, which only contributes further to an atmosphere of decline. In Korea, things have a habit of dying out swiftly and fiercely once they're regarded as losing popularity. I'll be very surprised if an outside company has the balls to step up and try to revitalize the scene. If it does come back, it'll most likely be a current sponsor doing it. | ||

I was surprised when I saw the initial statement, but when they use language as definite as "two companies have agreed to sponsor" I kind of have to take that as fact considering I haven't heard anything from anywhere else. I don't care if it's the only perspective you guys have, but you guys should take everything they say with a grain of salt. Furthermore... the article was literally last year. The comment said "As soon as we set the scope of the sponsorship we can start immediately". It doesn't take 3 months. It's most probable that sponsors didn't think OSL would cost so much :p | ||

In 2010~2011 season Shinhan decided to sponsor for one more year (Don't know the details of the talk, so don't bait me into such thing). | ||

If by "take it with a grain of salt" you mean don't believe anything you read from these sites until you see cooperating evidence, well that's a luxury I don't have. The earliest I can know anything about Korean starcraft more definitely than what some guy tells me on the internet (be he from fomos or TL), is when I watch the stream and see it for myself. This a million times.. | ||

There was some significant back and forth between shinhan and kespa to sponsor 2010-2011, mostly due to the IP rights fiasco | ||
