As long as OGN continues to support Sonic like they are doing now, I'd rather not have KeSPA anywhere near Broodwar. KeSPA didn't make Broodwar what it was, OGN and MBC did. Of course they had people sat on the KeSPA board, but it was their tournaments that made BW great and more importantly the players.

KeSPA and their ridiculous rules (lol GoRush being dq'd for accidentally typing a in game) can stay the heck away. They add nothing to it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/93222-spoilers-the-kespa-saga-osl-c-group. Don't even get me started on KeSPA's ruling on the 2009 Nate MSL finals after the powercut. Three hours to make a decision, the wrong one :/

Isn't Sbenu/Sonic part of KeSPA now since they took over Startale?

No, Startale/Sbenu is the only big Korean SC2 team not part of KESPA. They do participate in Proleague though.

I mean, OGN already broadcasts Sonic/Sbenu Starleague. So it's already back on OGN.

that's great. Sonic is truly a mastermind, he realized that what the SOSPA Scene needed for continous growth was the influx of new players who are trained and prepared to catch up to the ex pro gamers. He is doing exactly that with his team house and im quite excited to see what will come from it.

Yes, i know a couple of these guys have a pro-gaming background, but they never had a real break-through.

Over-All very happy to see this.

Looks like Sonic's doing a reality show series of some sort with the new amateur team?

Recognized

Olympus and

Sharp, not quite the other young chaps. Looks like

Child is doing some sort of coaching?

And the special guest appears to be + Show Spoiler +

Child looks so handsome with curly hair now. I fear for these newcomers, I mean really, it's a risk from Sonic to support these guys. What if the starcraft pro scene falls on its back? the StarCraft pro scene has whimpered by when OGN shut down operations in 2012 and StarCraft is getting less and less popular. It will be interesting to see how things pan out and if these guys will manage to make a dent or be mediocre.

This is basically season 2 of that show. Too bad the korean subs aren't complete, just like with the first season.. Otherwise I would've translated the shit out of that show.

If anyone's interested in filling the blanks (my listening sucks), I'd be happy to cooperate with anyone. I can do the editing stuff (so there's no vide-editing knowledge required). In fact, if someone would be up for just transcribing what the people are saying in Korean in the unsubbed parts and answering my occasional question, that would be more than enough to get this underway.

Larva

the guy in the center is Bishop. by some inference the one on the far left is Bale and the one left of Sharp is Luna

Child is apparently the designated coach for this team (he did coaching for Woongjin in the past)

contrary to belief larva is not a player of this team but going by the end of the vid maybe he has some role to play in their team (coaching?lol)

sonic has also hinted on some big news to be expected on august 7

I can't really watch stuff right now so I'll just ask, is this aired on Sonic's channel?

Child is old school enough to be a coach imo but Larva? Uh uh. Maybe Larva's there for the added views from his Afreeca fandom.
