Why would anyone support a transition away from a game they love? its transitioning away in the first place because they don't have the support | ||

Also, the dude only likes BW so he'll only throw money at it if he's sure the BW scene won't collapse. People don't like to invest money on uncertainties. I thought the article's point was pretty simple to grasp. | ||

LOL It would be a shameless ad if he would come out with his name. Give it a month, everyone will know who is this guy, and he can say "oh but i went anyonym, no idea how it happend" | ||

What he could (and should) have done is sponsor the current OSL (which did not have a sponsor till the very last second) and/or talk to OGN and sponsor the next one as well - on condition it would be BW. This way he would be able to prolong the prosperity of pro BW a bit more. And it would also give Kespa something to think about regarding the switch. Obviouslt none of that happened, so either he did not have the foresight or he was unable to go through with his plans. Regardless which one it was in the end, it is heartwarming that there are people in Korea that think like us and want to sponsor a Starleague (and are in position to do that). Of course my whole argument is based on the article being a legitimate piece, otherwise it's all moot. | ||

I thought the article's point was pretty simple to grasp. And what should we gather from the fact that he did not invest in anything BW? That he just sat around thinking about it until the clock ran out on all opportunities? The article is silly. It offers an appeal to emotion from Mr. X, and nothing more for anyone. There is nothing you, a BW fan, can take from this article but additional angst. There's nothing I, a SC2 fan, can take from this article at all. | ||

I wasn't going to respond since I'm coughing green stuff and all that crap but some of you need to reread the article. Perhaps it wasn't clear before but now I'm setting it straight. ABC-Talk is a section written by DES staff who hear about "insider" news/gossip that they can't give official details about. In this case, the DES staff who wrote this article heard about CEO X from a Kespa insider. According to the author of the article anyway. So no, this isn't some kind of attempt at fame/PR by the CEO. -_- | ||
