No way dude. I got one at least.
I doubt this'll happen. I don't even know if I want it to happen by now, considering Sonic has his SOSPA set up and growing as much as it is. I'll wait for any more information before making a decision whether this is a YAY or a NAY
That is correct, but the games will be played on Starcraft 2. The article is saying KESPA will hold more short-term tournaments as they did back in Brood War days.

The reason for this speculation is that it's a "reunion tournament" of the teams disbanded since 2007, so it's probably Broodwar.
I'm confused now.
Could we get an actual translation?
I read the article in Korean as I speak extremely fluent Korean and it says nothing about reunion tournament and does not mention playing on BW anywhere in the article. It specifically says KESPA will have more short-term team tournaments that disappeared since the end of KESPA cup back in 2007.

We just need more official info and to stop relying on any of these translations..

I gave you a translation as it is quoted above. I know you want to believe that KESPA will hold a BW tournament and I want to believe too. But the article simply does not say that. I can translate the entire thing if you want, but it's basically going to be a slightly longer, formatted form of what I typed earlier.

I work as translator on this very website for everything related to Korean League of Legends. How are you not going to rely on the translations if you cannot read Korean? The article has zero mention of anything related to Brood War being played again. I cross-checked Fomos article to make sure and there is only SC2 being played.

I believe you! I just typically think it's better for a little time to pass before updating OPs and all in case there are any new developments. There probably won't be, but it will save time and energy.
To celebrate the upcoming 10-year anniversary of Proleague, KeSPA will release all Proleague statistics and records starting from "KTF EVER 2003 Season" to "SK Planet 12-13 Season"
The decision to release the <Starcraft> Proleague records was reached as part of the recently announced "Next e-Sports Action Plan #1" for the fans who were curious about <Starcraft> Proleague statistics and records.
The release which has 10 years and 4 months worth of Proleague statistics will include records from "KTF EVER Proleague 2003 Season" started in March 1st, 2003 all the way up to the recent "SK Planet Starcraft2 Proleague 12-13 Season".
Total of 13 teams and 368 players have participated in Proleague until now. Lee "Flash" Young-Ho (KT) holds the record for most wins in regular season with 266 wins while Lee "Jaedong" Jae-Dong (EG) holds the record for most played games with 388 games. Also, Hong "Yellow" Jin-Ho (ex-KT) and Park "Reach" Jung-Suk (ex-KT) holds the record for longest participation in Proleague with 8 years, 3 months, and 29 days.
The released statistics can be viewed on KeSPA's website (http://www.e-sports.or.kr) and can be downloaded as an Excel file by anyone and can be shared, but cannot be used for monetary benefits. From now on, KeSPA is planning on releasing future Proleague records and statistics.
KeSPA's President Jun Byung-Hun stated, "Proleague is like a ship that has pulled Korean e-sports throughout the years. As we remember the past 10 years with our fans, we will also prepare for the next season to meet the expectations of our fans. By using the experience gained over the last 10 years, <Starcraft 2> Proleague will return in November with a reformed management of the league. We are also planning on reviving the short-term team tournaments that have disappeared since the 2007 KeSPA Cup. We will become an organization that will put in a lot of effort to meet the expectations of our fans".

Thanks for making me unnecessarily alert on the morning It's one of those great examples on how rumour can spread from the misunderstandings of language though.
