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

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
