Poll: How do you feel about Sbenu GSL? Ambivalence, largely... veering slightly negative.As long as it doesn't interfere with Sonic/SBENU's BW activities, I'm all for it, especially if it furthers the SBENU brand and empire...but sadly, I imagine Sonic and SBENU's marketing department only have X number of hours in the day such that some of the time and resources dedicated to SC2 or LoL would be at BW's expense  | ||

I don't have issues with Sonic doing what he wants, after all, his money, his company and such. I feel that if he wants to sponsor everything e-sports under the sun, he should be able to and I don't think criticism of such a move is that warranted. In the end, he doesn't owe us anything. BW is also his passion while SCII sponsorship is just to reach out to other players and get them introduced to SBenu. Does this mean SSL11 will have poor production and such? Not necessary, no. I'm happy to have tournaments continue and I'm supportive of what Sonic does so long as it doesn't involve him axing his support for BW. | ||

SC2 has proved massively unpopular in Korea, due to severe gameplay design flaws (to the point where interest decreased so much that arenas were mostly empty, and the game was not viable as an esport). It is not a well designed -and has not proved to be an interesting- game; it is not positive to associate a brand with SC2, especially for a Korean company - boredom and disinterest. Broodwar and LoL have proved to be popular; if you want to advertise/support esports more, expand in these areas, or another game. But SC2 is among the worst choices, if not the worst. | ||

How do people earn such money streaming and what is bubles? thnx Bisu usually has a couple of thousand viewers watching him. For earning, it's quite possible he's earning that much but someone else will have to verify that. As for bubbles, you probably mean balloons lol. Afreecan viewers can donate balloons to the streamer which get converted into money. Afreeca does take a cut though I don't remember how much (I think around 70% or so). Shuttle who is another protoss player (STX captain) was earning about 25,000 a month 1-2 years back and showed his account when someone asked (how we know). Hope someone can link the picture for you. Hope that clarifies some things  | ||

Each balloon is worth 100 won, and Afreeca takes 30%, so he gets 70 won/balloon. | ||
