As far as I know, NaDa, Flash, and Jaedong are all Partner BJs, who have certain contractual obligations towards AfreecaTV, the extent of which is more widespread than someone like Stork, for example. As you can see, NaDa is participating in this upcoming tournament, despite being a Partner BJ just like Flash or Jaedong. I repeat, the classification of these streamers under the AfreecaTV brand, and the varying restrictions that come with it, has nothing to do with what is going on here. This is not the time to be discussing the policies AfreecaTV imposes on its streamers, considering it basically has little relevance to the topic of why players like Flash isn't participating. With that said, I think the possibility of a power struggle being at play is certainly likely. Or maybe some of these players didn't want to go all the way to Busan for the fee that was offered to them. There are no official announcements, and if this is the result of some friction between AfreecaTV and Blizzard, you know there ever won't be one. Blizzard is using casters employed by Ongamenet, while several iconic Brood War players with close ties to AfreecaTV have plans elsewhere. For those surprised at the possibility of a power struggle between separate bodies who have vested interests in the upcoming future of the Korean Brood War scene, welcome the party. Watch the shit-fest unfold while people pick different sides and pretend it's a necessary growing pain for Brood War, while in truth it is a necessary evil for whoever comes out on top. My bet's on Blizzard. | ||

With the relative success the ASL has gotten, is there any chance that OGN will try an OSL with a small prize pool? Will Afreeca do anything special with the TBLS stream? | ||

I just saw the ad for the event running on the lightning of the Gwangan bridge in Busan, which must be incredibly expensive given the scale of the thing (it was literarly a mile long SC ad) and the visibility of the place. Damn, that is epic lol, need pics / video of that man. | ||

Also worth noting this in the main thread Radical, That will be a news and updates spot long term. The Editor will launch from the Blizzard Launcher, not from the game anymore. The SCR ad is placeholder while we get the news feed working. Cheers, Pete | ||

So is it possible that pro scenes won't allow custom hotkeys? Well, it's not like I'm gonna turn pro anyway. | ||

Won't effect me either way, as I don't intend on changing any hotkeys except for Patrol, but even then it wouldn't matter to me. I imagine we'll know soon! I'd imagine most people wouldn't really care and would be open just to get faster games, assuming patrol rebound doesn't completely break the game. | ||
