And the event will of course be restreamed live. Probably no player FPVs though, these will be shown on 50 inch screens in the studio only.

This is the best Starcraft news I've heard all year. So glad Midas is back!
He'll end up dead, because he'll die.

The large company that surprises everyone?

Valve Corporation

Then it turns out Gabe Newell has secretly hired some ex-Brood War developers and are developing a free-to-play spiritual successor to Brood War that will go into closed beta later this year. Their sponsorship of SSL9 serves only to promote their new game.

TeamLiquid.net implodes, Blizzard fires a lawsuit at Valve, r/starcraft on reddit shuts down, Fomos and PlayXP denounce Starcraft 2 and David Kim, Korean players from both SC2 and LoL vow to switch en masse to Valve's new game and KeSPA signs an agreement with Valve to make it a Proleague 2014 - 2015 title to phase out SC2 entirely.

LIGHT THE SAYLE SIGNAL, we need some English Commentary for this :D

I'm really looking forward to the reveal of the Sponsor. Maybe this will mean that OGN will carry SSL10 if this one does well enough.

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

A large company as sponsor that would surprise me would be Blizzard itself. But I guess they are not "large"(?).
I never make predictions. And I never will.

That is just too damn cool... Midas <3!

Super curious about who the new sponsor is. Anyone want to bet on Jin Air?
