EDIT: I like one game over the other. That doesn't mean that I should hate on the other one, nor the people who like the other game. Please be considerate, and keep the discussions as civil as possible.

Not going to translate the whole article, just the summary. Though, I knew this from long time ago and seems like this article pretty much confirms what someone said before on the fomos forums (Surprising that it came out to be somewhat true).

Seems like Proleague 11-12 Season 2 is going to be STARCRAFT Proleague if things work out fast enough. What this means is that we won't have BroodWar Proleague or SC2 Proleague.

The idea is that odd numbered sets will be BW, and even numbered sets will be SC2. Seems like it will be Bo7 format with ace match, and ace match will rotate between BW and SC2 (not sure how it will work).

Source: http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=58368

Keep in mind that these are still speculations. However, I felt like I needed to post this since this is not the first time I've seen this news.

UPDATES: READ THESE BEFORE POSTING, IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A VALID ARGUMENT THAT IS

and the newest article the now closed thread was based on here.

Short summary:

-SK Planet Proleague to begin this May, will be able to see BW players try out their SC2 hands.
-SC2 implementation was possible due to blizzard's persuasion and Gretech conceding its exclusive contract.
-No official announcements, but progamers practicing sc2 atm. One affiliated staff said: "Next year, PL is projected to switch over to SC2 completely."
-How the mixed league will be run is still under discussion, but the most plausible theory is switching between each set, with the ace match being BW in all cases.
-It seems Kespa will be forcing the integration by disallowing the player from playing two consecutive matches of the same game [So players like Jaedong Flash Bisu Stork won't be able to crush noobs in BW all day; they will have to play SC2 in half of their matches.]
-All Kespa-run proteams have agreed not to bring in any current SC2 progamers under Gretech for a year.
-SC2 is evaluated as being less fun to spectate as an e-sport than SC1, so Kespa and the proteams must provide a solution to this problem to ensure the success of the next season of PL. [I know this will be a controversial statement, so I will include the source in its original form, and other translators can confirm my translation. + Show Spoiler +
특히 스타2가 스타1보다 e스포츠로서의 재미가 덜하다는 평가를 받고 있어 협회와 게임단은 시즌2에서 흥행공식을 도출하는 과제를 풀어야 한다.

The rest of the article was just analysis without facts so I ignored it.

That's possibly the worst implementation I could imagine.

If that is the case, then proleague is dead to me. Only OSL will be worth watching at that point.

Hm, i wonder if teams would split up into squads that practice only one game, or everybody would practice both.

i'd rather see one game rather than the mix of games, what the fuck.
this is like mixing special force + counter strike sets in one match.

Reminds me of that special event where they mixed Starcraft and Special Force. Ultimate Proleague?

I haven't even started talking on the OSL in this thread to prevent people from raging, but rumors are this upcoming OSL could be the last of BW OSL.

Well that would make it awkward, but on one side of the coin it would expose the SC2 fans to the beauty of the BW game since they will also be forced to watch it if they want to watch "SC2 PL", and maybe a lot will be converted over.

I like both games, so this would obviously be okay for me except for the fact if I want to sit down and watch BW I just want to watch BW, same goes with SC2. So I am still on the fence if this will be the format, and by fence I mean I sure as hell hope not!

Imagine if this was done in sports. Play football (American) in the first half then football (soccer) the second half. Overtime would be rugby.

That's honestly retarded. Imagine it goes to ace match flash vs bisu and only to have them play sc2....lolol. They are basically making a joke out of the whole competition.

Woo, thats sounds so weird, i really hope it turns out to be great or else it drags both game down to hell.

As from SC2's viewpoint, it a logic move to make sc2 more popular.
