I heard FIX were buoyed quite nicely by the last SSL and this actually could be working very nicely for Sonic's business, particularly considering Sbenu's target demographic. Well, his business seems to be growing quite a bit (he recently opened two offline shops as far as I know), and I would say part of that growth is thanks to all the exposure he got as a sponsor of his own events. | ||

I heard FIX were buoyed quite nicely by the last SSL and this actually could be working very nicely for Sonic's business, particularly considering Sbenu's target demographic. I think you've got it backward. Of course Sonic loves Brood War and it is a huge part of his life, but the reason he puts himself to so much trouble is likely in no small part because he sees it as a valuable thing for his business. Like initially when it was just him streaming it had virtually no overhead costs. One thing in business is trying to make your product somehow different from other people's, and finding your own untapped market. Fair trade coffee gets people with disposable income who want to support small farms, Sonic shoes gets people who want to support Brood War players (esp. retired professionals). All I mean is I don't think he'd ever have seen it as an unfortunate necessity, I think he saw the time he put into it as justifiable. He'd annoy or at least worry a lot of people he was working with if he were putting the company's money into something that didn't help it at all. It's also no small advantage that people know the face and the person behind this company and like him, which is something pretty difficult to do in business. Normally people try to cheat that step by just using celebrity endorsement, but Sonic kinda made himself a minor celebrity, and because the connection between him and the product is way more direct, it's pretty powerful. It's convenient that he can so easily justify doing something he enjoys, but I think the reason he doesn't let himself get burnt out from doing so much of it is because he knows it is important for his business. What is Sinbal Farm without StarCraft? | ||

These days I'm so busy, there is no time to spare. It's because I'm preparing activities for a school donation, lectures, expanding my business to gangwondo (province in korea) and busan, and things seem to keep conflicting with one another. The Superfight matches and 10th Starleague are progressing without problems. I'm going to keep my promises Even though I'm a broadcaster, the fact is that I still need to eat and live. I have to do the important things first or else I can't do the broadcasting very well. Next week (early august) or the beginning if 2 weeks from now (week after this post) the Super Fight will open, then after the super fight, I will release the schedule of the SSL10. Thank you for watching and staying tuned. There will be no problems. Please wait a little bit longer! + Show Spoiler [original korean] + 요즘 . 숨 쉴틈도 없이 바쁘게 지내고 있습니다. 학교 기부행사와. 강연준비 때문에. 강원도며. FW 신상들로 인해. 부산 출장 준비와. 여러가지가 겹치는것 같습니다. 슈퍼파이트 매치와. 10차 스타리그 매치는. 문제 없이 진행 될거며. 제가 약속 드린 부분은 지킬겁니다. 방송도 방송이지만. 먹고 살아야 방송을 할수 있는 이 현실 앞에서. 중요한 1순위를 먼저 하고. 방송도 재미있게 해야 하는게 맞지 않나 싶습니다. 다음주쯤. 정말 늦어지면. 다다음주 초로. 슈퍼파이트 매치가 열리며. 그 이후로 10차 스타리그 일정공지가 올라올겁니다. 뜨거운 관심 감사드리며. 문제 없이 진행 되오니. 기다려주세요.!^^ | ||

Running a multi-store new business and growing it is a lot of work. He's probably trying to go really big with the bw events (e.g. large venue for the finals, etc etc) but a smaller scale consistent league would be really good. Though other online tourneys are happening. | ||

Hey Everyone is working really hard! We are working really hard with meeting another company, and we are creating a really good environment! Please wait a little longer. We will try to start during the 2nd or 3rd week of November. We first need to finish up on the interior of the studio. The event matchups too! We are working on a system to allow the matchups to go smoothly. Business is going well, so it's not like we aren't going to do the starleague, instead since business is going so well we will have an amazing starleague! Don't believe any of the strange rumors. I want to apologize because we weren't able to start as soon as we had wanted. But since actions speak louder than words, we are going to try really hard and sometimes even do some personal broadcasting. + Show Spoiler [Original Korean] + 우리 소닉tv 인원 및. 모든 분들이 집중하고 있습니다. 다른 회사와 미팅도 계속 하면서. 가장 좋은 환경에서 할수 있게끔. 준비 하고 있으니. 좀만 기다려주세요! 2014년. 11월 . 2~3주차 정도를 예상 하고 있으며. 인테리어도 마무리 되는데로 보여드리겠습니다. 이벤트 매치도. 다음주는 매치업 짜보고. 간간히라도 방송 할수 있게 시스템 만들어보겠습니다. 사업이 잘 되서 스타리그를 안 하는것도 아니며. 사업이 오히려 잘 될수록 더 멋진 스타리그를 준비중에 있습니다. 이상한 루머 만들지 마시구. 조금 기한이 늦어진점이 대해선. 사과의 말씀 드리겠습니다. 말 보다 행동으로 보여드릴려고 항상 노력하오니. 개인방송으로도 가끔 인사 드리겠습니다! ㅠㅠ Source: http://live.afreeca.com:8079/app/index.cgi?szType=read_bbs&szBjId=sogoodtt&nStationNo=55614&nBbsNo=8979457&szSkin=&nTitleNo=56904343 | ||

Hope BCTV Season 2 starts soon, and SSL10 doesn't overlap with LoveTV Sonic and sOoL will probably work something out like 6 months of SSL and 6 months of LSL. Or something like that With BCSL and 41SL in between for appetizers | ||
