A few teams didn't participate in season 3 because there were supposedly too many matches for players to prepare for. Then, only 5 teams wanted to participate in season 4, so GOM decided not to host it. It's because they wanted to focus on the existing leagues at that time (officially at least). But at that time Blizzard wanted to charge KeSPA/OGN a licensing fee for hosting SC events, and GOM was Blizzard's partner, so it may have been in retaliation. Who knows. | ||

Maybe there was some KeSPA strong-arming in the background, but there's no proof and saying that KeSPA had anything to do w/ it is just speculation i remember much kespa strong-arming, and it was not in the background | ||

User was temp banned for this post. It's funny that he got banned for that, because these are my thoughts exactly as well. What should he be grateful for? They didn't do the English casting for us, or for the love of the game...they did it simply to expand to what they thought will be a new market. Not to mention you needed to pay to watch basically anything (ok, like 4x3 pixel res. VODs were free). It's nice to see another tournament in BW. But I doubt they would have done it without 'something else' failing. With or without them, thanks to Sonic (and the viewers of course) Korean BW is still going strong. And Tasteless commentating...of course, if you want to hear that P will build some Gateways...eventually. | ||

That would be my guess as to why he was banned even though I feel a warning would've been more appropriate. | ||

On a serious note though I am super pumped for this and hopefully BW grows a lot more in Korea. so was it you or TT1 or both?
