SonicTV is looking for amateur players that love Brood War and are confident in their skills. Sonic aims to provide a practice environment for these players and uncover new Starcraft talents in the process. SonicTV will review and interview applicants to select about 10 players that will take part in an upcoming broadcasted project. In August, the players will face an All-Star progamer team in a SonicTV Super Fight.
The players must be D rank or higher on Fish and be able to take part in the offline activities/broadcasts after the selection process (so no, Sziky, sorry  ). Ex-practice partners, trainees, semi-pros etc. are of course welcome as well.
Recruitment period:
2015 4/23 ~ 4/30
Results (Invitations for interviews):
2015 5/1
Interviewing:
2015 5/4 ~ 2015 5/8
Selection:
about 3 months after 2015 5/12
Selected players will join SonicTV's "New StarCraft: Brood War Team".
They'll receive 3 months of training in SonicTV's practice 'laboratory' and get SonicTV related broadcast appearances.
They'll get support for setting up a private broadcasting if necessary.
The players will also be compensated for some of the activities.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this pans out, if sonic can really revitalize the scene with new blood.

This could be so potentially awesome, good stuff Sonic!

Sonic has always had his eye on the next generation, because he knows that it's dangerous to rely on nothing but the old pros, as they will inevitably leave the scene for reasons related to real life. That's why he made his own Sonic / Sbenu team with amateurs when he held his Proleague.
Oh, Sonic, I'm sorry I expressed doubt in you when I heard you were sponsoring a SC2 league . You're still the best thing to happen to BW in a long time.

sounds great, i hope this works out really well.  Scan, you gonna participate in this?

It's so awesome that he supports all StarCraft, not just BW or SC2. Do you think it is a possibility somewhere in the future that KeSPA picks up BW again and runs leagues for both games?

It seems unlikely, but mostly i don't want it to happen because of their strict rules.

I'm sure Kespa would revisit BW at some capacity since it's a government entity, but I don't think setting up actual leagues are going to be in the cards.

Sounds like a fun show coming up. Would be so cool to get a foreign bonjwa like sziky involved.
|

We can start a kickstarter campaign and say sziky is a feminist with the belief that all gamers should be equal, and that he should have an equal opportunity to play starcraft brood war in korea like all other girls, while oppressing men.
