Should be overall at least 4+ tournaments a year, of this size or bigger. And also a proleague. Well let's see if OGN have any plans this year, they are splitting LCK with SpoTV this year so the time slot might allow for some BW to be thrown in. 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. But people said OGN was very happy with how well SSL did viewer wise, etc It seems weird that they would just drop it completely. No other sponsors interested? (RIP sbenu) I think they were happy with the turnout, but that's different than viewership. also didn't SBENU pay for everything? I mean it wasn't like it was OGN's own league just that it was hosted by them.
that's a good question, i've asked my self the same. Im inclined to believe the answer is yes, or at least SBENU did pay a majority. If we take into consideration OGN has made no move prior or later to do anything BW related, it seems they were not interested in putting in their own funds. Understandable, i guess.
but i'd appreciate any real inside someone here might have?

Yeah, Sbenu did pay for everything. That was the whole deal with SSL12, Sonic didn't have time to manage the preliminary stuff like qualifiers/earlier stages and all the stuff that has to happen before OGN touches the tournament.

Well many have military service coming up so I guess nothing is really permanent after 2016 here unless new players gradually join which is highly unlikely considering the age of the game.
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.
I like your neutron star analogy. Starcraft Broodwar survives as long as the players are there IMO. there are plenty of people to host tourneys both big and small.

Every time anything pops up in Broodwar, someone makes a "this may be the last [blank] we ever see", times they are a-changing post. I think that's how it's been for the last ten years or so. At some point, you have to move past that.

Flash, FantaSy, RoRo, Rain, let's go.

I am a bw fanatic, but it kinda feels this way to me still. Look at the crowd at the last finals: 25-26yo guys on average, plus a total lack of fangirls. Sponsors, tournaments and active ex-pros are awesome, but the key for survival is young followers, of which there are very few. I'm enjoying it while it lasts, but can't help feeling like it's the late autumn for our game. The shit Sonic got his company into and the impending leave of Bisu don't help too. What we need is Flash and Jaedong destroying the Fish server once again.
ps: does anyone know if these 2 tournaments include the next VNSL, or are they a bonus? Is the next VNSL supposed to happen?

Can we not think negatively? 
Can we just enjoy the ride? 
If by some chance that next season, someone that haven't been to a Kespa final gets the champion cup, then hey that would definitely motivate younger generation to replace the old guards.
But honestly, don't really care if its the same few guys on top. As long as the games are high level enough for me to go: "Yeah there is no way I can physically execute that.", its all fine!
Peeps just need to chillax!

I hope they don't take over another tournament name. It would be better to name their own like they did with their SC2 team
