The official news donot come out.But some korean expros have received an invitation from AfreecaTV.It is said the league will organised by AfreecaTV(not SONIC).And the reward for the champion will be 30 000 000 WON (same as for the BW OSL champion).
This new is from a expro's talk in livestream on AfreecaTV. This expro said he will practise harder ,he want to prove himself,but he is not expecting champion because bisu and S-pros will come surely.

BW for the time being just keeps going up.

I hope it continues, not only because I enjoy watching it, but also because I believe BW is THAT good. I firmly believe that a good enough game is timeless, regardless of whether it is physical or electronic and it's validating to see BW and the community demonstrating that.
EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

I had chills reading that. I hope we get more information about that soon and it doesn't turn out to be fake.

Afreeca using BW as a marketing tool, too gewd.

I think often it is about the potential. BW is on an upswing again and Afreeca wants to use this to market their platform I guess. A smaller game on an upswing might get more sponsorship interest than a bigger game on a downswing. In late KeSPA-BW period when SC2 was getting those big sponsorships for GSL or IM with their LG deal etc. BW was still much bigger, but at that time SC2 was the one on the upswing while BW was on the downswing. But maybe I'm talking bs anyway, it's just my assumption that things roughly worked like this.

sounds legit its just with all this drama/"scandal" going on it just seems like the worst timing. And I thought it was weird that Afreeca would sponsor their own BW league that is NOT a sonic league even though sonic is a partnered streamer who already brings in the BW viewers and has continued to show the potential that BW has.
But I think i'm just being dumb. nothing wrong with having 2 huge prize pool bw tourneys

If this is true we have to spread the word as much as possible too. More viewers = more bw !
