The following is a statement from sOoL, sponsor for the first two seasons of LoveTV Starleague and many other events, a notorious fan and the person in charge of the upcoming LoveTV Starleague. The text is directed at Afreecan netizens to clear up some of their misunderstandings and answer some of their frequently asked questions. I added the bolded questions (made up by me) since Koreans take joy in plain text but I don't. I also left out a small part that is of no interest to us.

Note: The translation may will be inaccurate in details, hopefully not in any major points, though I can't rule that out either. It is a lot of text and Korean never fails to put new obstacles in a baffled foreigner's way ^^

I attached the Korean version, so if you read through it and think any of my mistranslations are particularly worthy of correcting, please let me know. I admit I don't have the mental stamina to try and re-check this myself friday late night.



What's up with the missing players?
+ Show Spoiler [KOR] +

안녕하세요. 이번 리그 담당자를 맡고 있는 술이라고 합니다.

먼저 첫번째로 말씀을 드리고 싶은 내용은 선수 섭외에 대한 이야기 입니다. 많은 분들이 선수 섭외에 대해서 사랑님 방송국에 글을 올리시는 거 같은데요. 아프리카 BJ선수 부분들에 있어서는 전적으로 제가 맡아서 한 부분입니다. 사랑님은 통보만을 받은 입장이라는 것을 다시한번 알아 주셨으면 감사하겠습니다.
사랑님이 섭외에 대해서 글을 올리신걸로 알고 있는데요, 제가 글을 올리고 싶었으나 일이 바쁜 관계로 사랑님에게는 전달만을 하였고 그걸 작성하신거 같습니다. 제가 해야 할 일인데 사랑님께 넘긴거 같아서 시청자 여러분과 사랑님께 정말 죄송하게 생각하고 있습니다. 그리고 많은 분들이 아프리카 BJ분들이 빠졌다고 항의를 하시는 분들이 많은대요. 물론 현재 스타판을 이끌어 가고 있는 분들은 아프리카 BJ분들이 맞습니다. 하지만 이 분들이 각자의 사정과 군대등의 문제로 방송을 접으시게 되면 더이상의 리그는 없다고 봐야겠지요. 저희는 그 부분에도 비중을 두고 회의를 여러차례 진행을 했던 부분이구요. 저희가 이번에 하고자 하는 리그가 BJ스타리그가 아닌 "스타리그" 인만큼 지금 현재 아프리카를 보시는 분들만이 즐길 수 있는 리그가 아니라 과거 스타를 좋아하고 즐겼던 세대들이 모두 함께 공감하고 시청할 수 있는 리그를 만들고 싶어서 익명선수 절반을 섭외하게 된 것 입니다. 현재 익명 선수분들도 이 게시판을 계속해서 모니터링 하시고 계신걸로 연락을 받았는대요. 다들 열심히 연습하시고 좋은 경기력으로 시청자분들께 보답하고자 하시는 선수분들께 시작도 하기 전에 의욕이 없어질 글들은 자제해 주셨으면 감사하겠습니다. 익명이라는 이름에 걸맞는 선수진으로 보답하겠습니다.
그리고 현재 아프리카 BJ분들 중에 제외가 되신 선수분들에 한해서는 저희가 리그 진행중 이벤트리그 또한 오프라인에서 계속 진행할 예정이기에 이벤트리그에서라도 보실 수 있도록 섭외를 진행하겠습니다.
그리고 향후 3차리그가 끝이 아니라 4차,5차까지도 준비를 하고 있으니 다음차 리그에서는 선수분들을 모두 한 자리에서 볼 수 있기를 저도 간절히 바랍니다.


Hello. This is sOoL, the person in charge of the league.

First of all, I'm told that there's many people protesting against some of the Afreeca BJs being left out. Of course, the best of the best in StarCraft right now are the Afreeca BJs. But we have to take into account that some of these players wouldn't be able to participate in leagues anymore due to personal circumstances or joining the military. That is something we gave a lot of weight to and had multiple meetings over.

We do not intend to make this season a BJ Starleague, but rather "THE Starleague", so that not just current Afreeca viewers, but also everyone who loved and enjoyed Brood War in the past can all watch together. For that reason, half of the players are yet to be announced. Currently, even the unannounced players are continuously checking this board and stay in touch with us. They are all diligently preparing to show good games in return to the viewers, so I would be thankful if you could refrain from demotivating them before the league even begins. You will be rewarded with players worthy of the TBA status.

As for the Afreeca BJs that were currently excluded, we are preparing to at least host an "event league" alongside the main event, so that we can all see them.

Also, our plans don't end with the third season; we are preparing for the fourth and even the fifth edition, and I too hope that the next season is one where we will be able to see all the players together.


What's even happening?
+ Show Spoiler [KOR] +

두번째로 말씀을 드리고 싶은건 많은 분들이 궁금해 하는 왜? 사랑e 리그인가에 대해서 입니다. 많은 분들이 애청자도 얼마 안되고, 고작 1차 2차 리그만 진행 했는데 왜 이런 리그를 맡기는 거냐? 라는 말들을 많이 봤습니다. 이번에 사랑님 리그를 후원하기로 한 기업은 스타 방송에 관한 전반적인 모든면을 모니터링을 하고 계셨던 상태였고 그때 2차 사랑e 리그가 진행되고 있었습니다.
이번 3차 리그를 후원해 주시는 기업은 자신들의 기업 이미지를 알리려고 하는 목적 보다는 2차 사랑e 리그때 여러분이 들어와서 같이 호응해 주시고 즐겨 주시고 BJ와 시청자 간의 소통이 자신들이 생각하는 이미지와 맞아 떨어졌기 때문에 후원을 결정 하시게 되었습니다.


The next topic I would like to adress is a question I noticed many people asking: You only hosted the first two seasons of LoveTV League, why is suddenly something like this happening as the next one?

At the time we were proceeding with the second season of LoveTV League, the company that decided to sponsor us was monitoring all aspects of the broadcast. Rather than just improving the image of the company, the way all the viewers and BJs came together to enjoy themselves was something that matched the company's ideals and thus they decided to support it.


Can Love cast a league of this scale?
+ Show Spoiler [KOR] +

세번째로 말씀을 드리고 싶은건 이 또한 많은 분들이 걱정하시고 계시는 부분인데요. 바로 해설자 분들에 관한 이야기 입니다. 현재 리그를 맡게 되신 사랑님의 리그 경험 해설 경험 적인 부분에서 많이들 걱정을 하시는 것 같은대요. 그 부분을 보완하기 위해 현재 해설자 2분을 섭외 해 둔 상태이고 충분이 이 정도의 규모의 리그를 이끌어 주실 만한 해설진 구성이라는 점을 다시 한번 말씀드립니다.


The third thing I need to adress is yet another topic many people seem to be worried about. It is the situation of the commentators. Many people seem worried that LoveTV may not be experienced enough to cast an event of this scale.

To adress the situation, other commentators were hired and I want to stress that the two new commentators confirmed will prove absolutely capable of leading the commentary of an event of this scale.


Are you a meth lord or where does the prizepool come from?
+ Show Spoiler [KOR] +

네번째로 말씀을 드리고 싶은 부분은 리그 상금 부분에 대한 우려도 많이 보이는 것 같은대요. 우선 스폰 기업을 먼저 밝히지 못하고 상금부터 공개하게 된 점은 대단히 죄송하게 생각합니다. 하지만 확실히 말씀 드릴 수 있는 부분은 이번 리그는 저희가 선입금받고 진행하는 리그도 아니며 기업의 이름을 공개 하고 나면 상금 먹튀 논란등은 한번에 잠재울 수 있는 정도의 기업이라는 점만 말씀드리겠습니다.


The fourth point I want to talk about is the prizepool. Firstly, I feel so sorry for announcing the prizepool before revealing the sponsor. But let me just say that even though the league didn't start yet, we received the first deposit and once the sponsor's name is revealed, any controversy over the prizepool will be laid to rest.
T/N: Some serious guess work involved in translation of the bolded part.


What about Sonic Starleague?
+ Show Spoiler [KOR] +

그리고 덧붙여 말씀드리고 싶은 부분은 자꾸 소닉님 리그를 언급하시면서 사랑e리그와 비교를 하시는 분들이 많은거 같은대요. 어느 컨텐츠가 되었든 각자 개인방송은 그만의 색깔은 다르다고 생각합니다. 아무리 스타리그라는 컨텐츠로 활동을 하고 있다고는 하지만 이미 다년간의 리그 경력을 가지고 계신 소닉님과 비교 해 주시는 것만으로도 영광으로 생각하구요 소닉님도 10차 리그를 준비하고 계시듯이 많은 분들이 함께 시청하고 함께 길 수 있는 리그가 하나 더 늘어난다 생각해 주시고 사랑e리그만의 색깔로 즐겨주셨으면 감사하겠습니다.


In addition, I wanted to comment on many people comparing the league with Sonic's Starleague. I think any content will always show in different colors based on who broadcasts it. Although we are currently hosting a Starleague, just having people compare our efforts to Sonic with his years of experience makes me feel honored. The 10th Sonic Starleague is in the making and I hope we can all enjoy another league alongside it and I will be thankful if you enjoy the LoveTV Starleague in its own unique colors.


Okay, but when?
+ Show Spoiler [KOR] +

현재 지속적으로 말씀 드렸다시피 오프라인으로 리그를 진행하려고 하다보니 장소 섭외의 문제가 조금 어려움을 겪고 있는대요. 장소 섭외가 완료되고 최종 미팅이 끝나는대로 바로 계약서 들고 스폰기업 사내에서 사랑님 방송으로 모바일 방송 송출하도록 하겠습니다. 조금만 더 믿고 응원해 주시고 기다려 주시면 감사하겠습니다.


As you have been told, we intend to make the starleague all offline... The problem of reserving a location causes us some hardships. Once the place is reserved, final meeting is over and a contract is reached, LoveTV will begin transmiting from the sponsoring company's premises. Please keep trusting in us, supporting us and wait a little bit more. Thank you.

Some of those questions, seriously. I can understand the whole sponsor thing but asking about her casting skills or getting angry over participants. cmon, it's not like the company will sponsor for that much without knowing the caliber of the players that will play in it. I am excited to see who are these players that weren't revealed and of course, the best part:
Also, our plans don't end with the third season; we are preparing for the fourth and even the fifth edition, and I too hope that the next season is one where we will be able to see all the players together.

Sounds like it'll be a fun league and they even have something for BJs that aren't participating in the main event. Looking forward to this and thanks for the translation!

Why is she apologizing to us?

We should be thanking her that this is even happening.

This might sound mean to Sonic but if Love TV SL manage to be better produced than Sonic's event, then we would all know who is OGN and who is MBC

Thanks again for the great translation work, Stratos

Heh, I think someone's been watching too much Breaking Bad. Sounds like the sponsor is some Korean chaebol, so hopefully they/it will continue with the sponsorship in future seasons

Very honorable of sOoL to not name names in addressing the K-netizen hate about the missing Afreeca BJs, presumably they're inquiring about popular streamers like Sea, Pusan, Starcue, Terror, or sSak

LOL StarCue~

Yes that's exactly what people are mostly inquiring about (Pusan was added now), this has been adressed in another post and it seemed to have explained the situation well. Currently the only one people still keep spamming about is sSak.

Korean netizens have this habit of just picking one thing they don't like and then spamming about it in every post, completely disregarding everything else. It's something that any Korean organizer must have learned to live with.. and their brutal honesty does have some benefits but yeah, it's really different from over here where mostly everyone is like: 'yaaay coool bw wooo!!'

There are, of course, some exceptions. But if you think TL is ungrateful when it comes to people doing stuff for the community, you have no idea :D

Considering the prize pool, he really should just take a Game-style approach to answering these questions i.e. "I'm making an awesome tournament, if you don't like it go fuck yourself"

"They are all diligently preparing to show good games in return to the viewers, so I would be thankful if you could refrain from demotivating them before the league even begins"

do korean netizens already know/speculated who the TBA players are, or is this just a general statement

Noone knows. Even Lovetv "whined" that they didn't let her know ^^. Based on the rest of the post, I expect some old school players rather than newly retired ones.
