(now only Lol) So, you can't blame OGN for Sebnu giving up on bw i think. I don't forsee pulling afreeca a similar stunt, simply because SC2 took such a big downswing in Korea recently, regarding all the retirements and the WCS changes. | ||

They stopped SC2 support waaaay before SSL 11. They focus on League of Legends, Hearthstone, VainGlory, and Heroes of the Storm, for now. | ||

So 2016 could be the burning comet of Brood War. But how is that possible? Brood War probably already burned off long time ago. But since Brood War was the brightest star of the eSport universe, it birthed DotA2, LoL, and SC2 to fill its void. And as the biggest star, it is now sucking everybody else inward. | ||

Nothing is changing in regards to their schedule. The 'split' which was agreed upon was that SpoTV can do a relay broadcast at the same time as OGN's. And it doesn't take place until the Summer split. | ||

No other sponsors interested? (RIP sbenu) | ||
