Sonic's own brand, SBENU, will sponsor HongGameNet TV for the next three months, a period which may be further extended based on viewer feedback. HOGN's previous season gained a lot of attraction on Afreeca and Larva worked with Sonic before, so this seems like a wise investment from the Boss who is currently focused on business and SSL preparations.
With Sonic recently contracting IU for SBENU modelling and performing at the SSL finals, moving his office and opening shops all over the country, his business seems to be expanding agressively. Many of us dreamt of a billionaire who would come to save Brood War. Sonic started with a small room packed with shoes but he is apparently busy becoming that hero.
Larva's sponleague will kick off next monday and work like this:
Mondays 3:3 Team Battle of ex-pro teams e.g. ex-SKT vs ex-CJ 300 balloons for each game
Tuesday Sponsored best of 3 match BJs picked on the spot All three games played 300 balloons for the winner
Wednesday Sponsored best of 3 match BJs picked on the spot All three games played 300 balloons for the winner
Thursday Larva's personal stream
Friday Killer of the Hill Larva's personal stream
Weekend Larva's personal stream or break
Along with Shark's (SBC GAME) and LoveTV's sponleagues, the BW calendar gets another boost before the bigger leagues can start. Now seems like a great time to start watching more Brood War and get ready for the soon-coming SSL 10!
Since Korean KOTHs work like: You get 3 or 5 sucessive kills and get prize or we just keep going the next day, I think "Killer of the Hill" is more appropriate. But maybe someone knows another proper name for this format?
Its an incredible success story, being able to grow a shoe empire through supporting the game that you love. He already has 23 stores in korea. I wonder how big Sonic and SBENU will be in a few years time ^^
Man, despite not really following BW after the Kespa players left, it's really shocking how much Sonic has single-handedly done for the BW scene. I'm really glad to see him do so much for BW and be successful. Next time I'm in Korea, I'll be sure to buy everything that's remotely associated with him.
Yeah we had an event for HiyA vs GuemChi. I suppose it was not an ex-proteam battle then, maybe just random 6 bjs? Either way, tomorrow should be more fun. We may need more PPL with calendar rights cuz keeping track of 3 sponleagues while changing streams and updating events with a 64KBs mobile would be difficult to do even if I were to sit on the toilet at work for an hour straight.
When I get some time I'll try to make a guide on afreeca signup and verification, that way you can recommend streams which is sth 5hey ask the fans for all the time, talk in streams and comment on posts. Whether they'll ban you for English or not I haven't tried... if you want an easy way, you can always add them on fb..
It is never too late to celebrate HOGN. Nothing beats that, though Shark at least tries, taking his family name and naming his broadcasts 서(Seo)BC GAME ^^
