Here is my thought about 'our future'.

We need to get started on ISL4 soon. Advertise it to China. Then use those viewership numbers to attract sponsors and at the same time get money from Twitch's Ads. Also inviting some of the Chinese players is also vital for the growth of relationship. Since C-OSL is considered as a continuous event, we might even see foreigners like Sziky taking the champion's throne and further explodes the competitive field.

In the future, we are potentially looking toward 2 Huge tournaments event (the C-OSL, ISLs) and perhaps some S.Korean amateur leagues going on. Saturated these events, and then definitely the level of play can climb back again closer to the past OSL/MSL's standard.

Not to mention, we can truly organize some sort of Clan Wars going on. S.Korea have 32 Clans Active last I've seen from
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=292211 (Super Clan League)

Foreigners have a few laying around

China have 30 Teams.

Say that we'll have 70 teams in total for Brood War. The teams do not have to play in the same server. We can have threads in all parties' perspective forum boards and upload replays. Chinese are seen to be able to play on Fish and ICCup. Koreans can play on VS Server. Rest of the world can play on Fish and ICCup (VS Server's Instruction will be translated). With 70 teams in mind, that's almost non stop BW action. We can have regular seasons going on for hours! High possibility of getting that 24/7 Brood War materials going on purposed by Eywa. Then people like Sayle, Elegant, TheShimmy Hacklebeast will be very busy as their viewership skyrockets.

In the end, I'm personally hoping that we (the global scene) will reach to a point where there will be a yearly Brood War ProLeague format with all those teams participating as one. I am going to say, although I'm really shooting dart into the shadow, that MAYBE just MAYBE we can prove to OGN that they made the biggest mistakes ever.

Just when we thought to be extincted, the community fires that nuke straight in the face of the forecasted asteroid..

advertising may be a bit tricky for the chinese though, does twitch have targeted ads for them? and the chinese audience may have a significantly smaller propensity to spend on ad goods given the lower disposable income

some community websites that are listed here function off advertising and individual merchandising, so I wouldn't worry about that

Twitch TV ads are in Chinese if your IP is Chinese. Not an issue

7/5 Chinese team "The." under WangFeng is attempting to sign Scan to play for them in teamleagues.

Doing so would put him in the same team as The.jaystar among other Chinese BW former pro's and veterans.

Lol the roster lists 206 players. And there are like 30 teams ? I'm curious of the average skill of the team. Like only the top 5 are like B+ skill and above, and top 20 is B-/B and above and the rest is meh, or B rank skill is like the cutoff to enter the team ?

Thanks for your efforts and updates Caihead !

Yea the teams essentially function as clans do in Korea, they keep players / practice partners on the roster too, roughly around the top 20 get to play in the team league's official matches depending on the situation.

Is it really worth it ? You need a Chinese ID card number to register to VS. I know you can always borrow one, but if you can borrow one, then you are very likely to have a Chinese friend that can register an account for you and tell you how to get on the VS server.

A couple of Chinese players actually visited my stream yesterday and offered to help me with getting on the server :D

Whoruxiao: hi
» could you see my worlds?
» hello, friend
» could you see my worlds and reply?
» have you ever played sc with chinese players?

Whoruxiao: welcome to chinese service station like VS,
» we have a lot of SC lovers here

Broadcaster Stratosj: I heard we can't join the server without chinese iD?

Whoruxiao: nono
» of course you can
» I can give you one
» and provide you the address
» you need to download VS station first, then login

4:05 Broadcaster Stratosj: but I think someone from teamliquid was going to make a guide for the chinese servers for us

4:05 Whoruxiao: great!!
» good idea
» we are eagle to play sc wit foreigners

4:11 Broadcaster Stratosj: you guys have an account @ teamliquid?
