2052, the PROMISED YEAR By then hopefully I've succeeded (epic massive supermassive success) in life and will actually be a retired billionaire who can take private jet flights just to watch live eSports events. Then I'll print out that cartoon, meet LSW at the 2052 MSL (how old is he going to be then? T_T) and we'll have a good laugh afterwards at a local bar. | ||

I'm hoping this will open up a gap for another Game channel, BW is still popular and there are a handful of booming games that they could cover, OGN can't really do it all alone.

That would be the life... | ||

As a company you can value "making good shit" more then "higher profit possibility" to make everybody love you, and when everybody loves you - it is easier to make $$$. And yeah, come to that - its not like MBC will automatically have more money just by changing channel name from MBCGame to MBCKPop, so they could finish things in proper way - "farewell MSL" (with Bisu winning  ), more time for OGN, Kespa and sponsors to decide what to do, etc. I'm actually think that you can't expect anything else but rage from people when you fuck everybody and not only fans, but also business partners and employees. I don't even know if you follow BW or not after reading this post. I don't even know where to begin with this, so I'll tackle one. There has been posts, views, and even few confirmations around couple of Korean sites in the past that this was due to financial problems. YES, broadcasting stations are about making good shit. But it's because making good shit -> more people watching -> better advertisements, charge more in the future -> profit. From business perspective, it's all about money. You can make great stuff and gather fans, but that will end up with more profit. In the end, all people care about is how they're going to earn more $$$, and try something else if they aren't making enough. This is such case. | ||

Haha that's more or less what I said when the cartoon was posted on TL ! I just can't believe right now that amongst those hundreds of thousands of fans in the last 10 years there isn't at least one who became a multimillionaire and throws a few 100k$ to run an extra MSL or even save MBCGame. As far as I know, they were not making profit, but it wasn't like millions of losses either. I'd do it. My wife would be mad at me, but I'd do it, and even ask to call it the "Team Liquid MSL". Fuck yeah. Just need to be a millionaire now  | ||

"But it's because making good shit -> more people watching -> better advertisements, charge more in the future -> profit." - ok, that what I was saying. So, MBC had choice: either make their product better (rethink) or shutdown a channel. They decide to shutdown. But (i'll quote myself): On January 21 2012 02:37 elagrion wrote: Again, last MSL. Im sure that knowing that this is the last MSL people would watch it, so it shouldn't be hard to attract sponsors. Just for money MBC had have to run last MSL. | ||

But (i'll quote myself): Getting sponsor takes work, and even then, they would have to set the venues, give out prizes etc. Honestly, if the people who were in charge of MBCgame (the upper ones, not the ones who worked IN MBCgame. In this case, MBC+ media) thought about the people who cared about the channel, do you think we would not have had 'last' MSL? They don't care, end of story. | ||
