The thing about your comments is "oh no one translated it for us, it must not exist" =/ How is that a warning that BW is over, and not a poll for interest in adding SC2 to their channel? It doesn't have to be all or nothing you know, OGN has plenty of games broadcasted on it. | ||

Daum osl , Jangbi osl and I guess those are just for the memories for me old nostalgia supporter. | ||

BW leagues have a hard enough time getting sponsors already -- can you really run dual leagues with SC2 and BW? You can't. Most of the leagues are sponsored heavily by the companies, like Riot pushing LoL in OGN. | ||

So what games are better to boost your image Sc2 ? I believe if ogn actually cancels bw osl and than goes all out to promote LoL osl would have been a better choice from a business perspective. | ||

You just said it was logistically impossible to have BW and SC2 at the same time because running a league is expensive. I think Kart Rider is gonna go before BW does ;p | ||

Now there's none and financial difficulties yet they're still able to claim it will happen at a certain date? I dunno, at this point it just seems like news outlets are grasping for confirmations based on a quote or two here and there. Obviously, the 'positive' news was for good PR. | ||

As we speak. They had a game that went on past midnight.

I think Kart Rider is gonna go before BW does ;p No it's a sponsor issue. There's "only" proleague for SF. Oh, guess who is sponsoring it? An SKT company. Why? Because they can't... get sponsors. That's the biggest thing right now. The scene literally recycled through every sponsor possible by now. Korean Air OSL 1 and 2? Okay. 2 was supposed to be the last but since they couldn't get sponsors, JinAir jumped in anyway and the Korean Air's CEO's daughter saved OSL again. (Kart Rider will always be around as long as Nexon sponsors leagues though). On March 03 2012 03:24 supernovamaniac wrote: Obviously, the 'positive' news was for good PR. You also have to realize that in the "full" article the tone of the article is "Okay, we can't get sponsors. We don't have money. But we love OSL, it's awesome. Even if no one sponsors us, we're going to push through and use our own money to run a league." It's just making the best out of a bad situation just like Team 8. | ||

It is clear to me that Milkis has some kind of misplaced grudge over someone or something in the BW community and is trying his hardest to stir up irrational and far-fetched negativity in the BW forums. To him, I suggest that he recalls what he has confessed publicly only a few months ago: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=281042 To the others, I propose that we just ignore his posts, as I will do from now on, until a moderator does what's right. | ||

If I didn't (somewhat) know you due to your public activities I'd think you're either a troll or someone who just wants to say "I told you so" when the end of BW arrives, not caring about how many toes you stepped on. I really look forward to your explanation and to your sources later today. | ||

 Atleast we'll get to see another OSL I almost feared the recent one would be the last OSL. Let's hope this won't be the last OSL and BW gets a few more years. | ||

Derp, should've mentioned what I was referring to. I was referring to the two possible sponsorship article, not the one that the OP mentions. (not saying that you're wrong though, with this article) | ||

Unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean by switch, I think OGN would be shooting itself in the foot doing something like that. I give OGN a little more credit than this.
