CJ Media is a part of CJ corporation. They have so many subsidiaries its hard to keep track of them all. But if there's a "CJ" .. it's most likely part of the family

2. Blizzard make almost no royalties from any of this.

what's your source? i find it hard to believe that all this money/advertising is being thrown around in the name of starcraft and blizz isn't getting a piece of the pie


On what ground would Blizzard ask for money ?
You pay for the game, then you do with it as you please. If blizzard was to ask money everytime it's game were played... then we would have a very very odd situation. When would that stop, who would pay, every tournaments ? every players for every matches ?

Come on.
luck is not a factor

as far as the sponsorship goes, it's really great to see new money flowing into the starcraft progaming industries. as long as big companies continue to back teams, brood war will stay in the limelight and we can all continue to enjoy playing and watching this game for years to come


Its the other way around.
As long as Broodwar is in the limelight, big companies will continue to support the teams.
The fact that G.O is sponsored is not going to directly increase the size of OGN or MBCGame's audience, rather the current viewership is significant enough in size as is to encourage a large corporation to invest.

... and since when does the success of professional gaming in Korea determine whether or not we can still play Starcraft?

Ehm, well, personally I'd probably quit BW if it died in korea.
