They don't need to peel potatoes please re-evaluate your ignorant statement because it just shows that you know nothing about the bw scene and it's player especially in the Air force ace area. think you misinterpreted and overreacted | ||

I remember that during the match-fixing scandal there was a talk show where the commentators talked about what the scandal would mean for the future of e-sports. At one point Kim Carrier said something like "To me, the moment when I felt that e-sports had finally gotten some true recognition, was when the Army decided to create the Airforce team." This should tell you what sort of recognition you can expect SC2 to get in Korea. Kespa and OGN gave away a game that held a unique position, for one that will just be one among many. | ||

They stuck with BW as long as they possibly could have. | ||

Sad to see airforce ace go..more sad to really even hear about people talking about how sc2 wont get the same recognition in korea, implying sc2 is bad while bw was unique and one of a kind. Mourn the team, and what it represented. But certainly let's not get up in the politics of the matter. | ||

So it makes sense why a sponsor would want to pull out. ACE is not a charity - it is first and foremost marketing. The question to me is why this marketing is so important to the South Korean military. Military service is already mandatory, isn't it? So couldn't the real reason be that they couldn't justify sponsoring an esports team and were just looking for an excuse to cut it off? | ||

The real question is, just how much of this all goes back to the matchfixing. If that played as significant of a role for BW in things like the sponshopship struggles, MBC, image, etc. that I have heard implied then it may very well have been the event that killed professional BW. | ||
