Since on of the statements says they're having anon players so that even the older fans can enjoy the league like in the old times, I'm still convinced that they'll be oldschoolers. If they practice it would make sense, too. Do you want to see Hiya crush Starcue or Yellow in the ro32?

Did Starcue ever do anything other than put his headphones on backwards?

Never noticed that the prize pool is so stupidly skewed. It's a shame, really, it should have been something like

- 40k
- 20k
- 5k x2
- 2.5k x4

And 6k for the rest

im guessing they holding on the launch to accomodate TV channels because I'd be surprise that with the level of exposure they proved they can reach and the ability these individuals displayed at securing fundings for their operations, TV stations would not try and work out something to broadcast it on cable channels

not to even mention half of the people involved in both leagues use / still work at TV

also koreans usually hold on stuff for ages when the stuff is promised to be big

edit : cuz it'd be a real shame otherwise

well samsung's contracts i guess were set up differently than all the other teams I guess (maybe just did annual rather than to end of proleague, and for whatever reason was now)**

so now all the teams have their post pl shuffles

I'll always be happy to eat my words, we'll see who comes along

**edit-- actually see a thread with some kespa regulations on contract things for sc2 players (parting not fulfilling some 5 year contract or whatever)

wouldn't be the off season without mystical kespa regulations on player tranfers and bidding and renegotiating contracts and whatnot

so i guess other teams were not just "set up contract to end of pl season" but have junk like letting players leave early, etc

Fantasy and Rain are also still under that same 5 year thing with SKT so they can't play in PL lol. Doubt we'll see either one in LoveTV but thought it's interesting nonetheless.

Sry for the bump, but are there any news about this?
I get that there are 2 other offline leagues going on atm but still...
Maybe this will be on OGN too and this causes the delay?

LoveTV still has the original announcements posted on her Afreeca forum, so hopefully nothing having been retracted is a good sign. She's still occasionally streaming and posting about streaming activities, too, so LoveTV is still active.

It doesn't, however, look like there are any recent updates regarding the Starleague itself. A few fans have posted on Afreeca inquiring, as well, but no responses yet...

I guess sOol would be the fellow to talk to. I find it hard to imagine a big tourney like this just disappearing, but like everyone else would love to know it's still happening..

I get that they probably don't wanna hold the tournament at the same time as ssl and ksl, but no news at all is pretty disappointing :/
I am still optimistic that in the end it will happen (i hope for effort to participate as well now), but the hype is pretty much gone at this point...^^

Maybe they're just waiting for SSL and KSL to end since they pretty much stole all the spotlight.

i'll be honest, i think this is never going to happen.
too much weight behind ksl/ssl and i don't think the prize money is realistic.

I don't want to be pessimistic but it doesn't look like anything is happening. I'm sure we would have heard something by now if this was still going to happen. Please come and do anouther season LovETV. Even if it's only anouther online tournment with a small prize pool. I just want to see more games and competitions.
