In case folks didn't catch the end of the the (Wiki)ASL finals, or the brief mentions of it in the LR thread, Afreeca's CEO reiterated his/their support for BW and that season 2 would be held in December.

Good to hear Afreeca/Kongdoo/sponsors are holding up their word after announcing two Starleagues in 2016 at the conclusion of the (Wiki)VNSL!

that means they made enough money on this to see a future? Or that they saw the potential to make money with it soon?
Or do you think it's just good will?

Considering that it had two sponsors it seems to work out i guess?

heres what I'd like to see for season 2

  • Increased Prize Pool and Size (bump back to 32 players)
  • Seed Top 8 into Ro32 instead of top 4 into Ro16
  • More dramatic camera work instead of having player's facecams on either side.(doom zooms!)
  • OGN like resource counter(for the newbs, it is helpful and doesn't take away much)


My reasoning for seeding top 8 instead of top 4 is simply because you basically remove all the good terrans from the prelims who'd qualify into the tournament anyway, leaving fewer spots for new and old faces. I do think this level of manipulation for a stacked tournament is necessary.

Sponsorship is advertising so they won't see the effects in the immediate future. So let's hope that there is a positive return down the line for KT, Jeju Air, Afreeca and Kongdoo. For now, I say just enjoy the fact they announced that they'll keep their promise.

P.S. Bring back Doom Zooms, Avalon and better Group Selection Ceremonies.

Definitely would like to see a resource/unit counter, or, if at least use the proper observer/map settings to show resources/unit count upon observer selection. Good idea about the 8 seeds enabling more spots -- those qualifiers are so tough and depend so much on lucky draws, so some really good players very likely were eliminated too early

I imagine the prize pool is tied to the number of participants, if the organizers open it up to 32 players, it'd probably have to be reflected by the prize pool, and vice versa.

Very good, we were all wondering about their old announcement of 2 Starleagues a year, it looks like they're gonna keep their promise!

IIRC there was some mention of Flash being part of the reason the ASL started when it did....wonder why December.

LoveTV Starleague Season 3?

On June 05 2015 07:21 prech wrote:
Thanks to jingyung2 --

LoveTV's announcement effectively cancelled Season 3 as we know it. She apologized, says she's sorry for the absence, and that she's been busy. In Dec 2014, the sponsor already said they would not sponsor the Starleague, so they were looking for a different sponsor all this time, but were unable to find one.

Can't reveal sponsor name due to the contract. Wants to post contract details for all to see as evidence, but worried about legal ramifications and damage to the sponsor's reputation if more information is revealed.

So all the Season 3 announcements have been wipe from her board

안녕하세요 BJ사랑e입니다.
한동안 이래저래 좀 힘든 시간이 되어 한동안 방송으로 찾아뵙지 못했는대요.
우선 죄송하다는 말씀을 먼저 드리고 싶습니다.
많은 분들이 제 방송국에서 준비되고 있는 리그에 대해 우려반 응원반의 시선을 보내주셨었는대요.
우선 결론부터 말씀드리자면 작년 12월 기업측으로부터 최종적으로 리그 진행을 할 수 없다는 최종통보를 받았습니다.
그후로 다른 기업 한두곳 정도와 접촉을 해보았으나 그 또한 여의치 않게 되어 리그가 무산되었습니다.
이 글을 보시면서 또 사기꾼이라고 욕을 하실 분들이 훨씬 많겠다는 생각이 들지 않는건 아니지만
솔직하게 상황을 말씀드리고 뭐 욕을 하시면 달게 받고 이 또한 제가 겪어야 할 일인 것 같아 글을 올립니다.
그동안 리그를 준비하면서 제 그릇에 넘치는 큰 규모 때문에 제 자신도 너무 힘들었던 것도 사실이고
특히나 제 주장은 거의없이 기업측에서 시키는대로 모두 따를 수 밖에 없었던 것이 화근이 된 것 같습니다.
일정이 온전히 나올때까지 기업 이름을 공개하지 못하게 했던 것이
어쩌면 기업에서는 어느 정도 리그를 하지 않을 상황을 대비한게 아니었나 하는 생각이 뒤늦게 들었습니다.
사실 저에게는 계약내용등이 적혀 있는 가계약서가 있습니다.
리그가 무산되고 난 뒤에 가계약서 공개를 해서라도 거짓이라고 하시는 분들께 이런 일이 진행되고 있었다는 사실을 증명하고 싶었습니다.
하지만 그 쪽 기업측에서 가계약서를 공개할 시 기업측에서 받을 이미지 타격을 운운하며 저에게 책임을 질 수 있느냐고 되물었습니다.
저라는 한 개인이 기업을 상대로.. 할 수 있는 것이 아무 것도 없었습니다.
물론 현재도 할 수 있는 일이 없는건 마찬가지입니다..
그동안 믿고 기다려 주셨던 분들과 지지해 주셨던 분들께 진심으로 사죄드립니다.
앞으로 어떤 형태가 될지는 모르겠지만 다시 찾아뵙게 된다면 초심으로 겸손한 BJ로 돌아오도록 하겠습니다.

Come on man, you've been around long enough to know that asking questions of BW's future and commercial viability is pointless. All we can do is enjoy the BW, and we certainly can't guess if/how long it's going to last. Assume it'll last forever, and participate, and we're all winners really :D
