imo, its kind of tragic that the room for esports is so tiny in korea. 3 viable game titles, assuming BW is one of them although OGN doesn't seem to think so. I hope their hand is forced and they gamble on BW again. Although, I wonder if the pros would actually participate, since they didn't seem to be interested in SSL, and they think ASL is the only one worth their efforts in this new world of streaming for income.

It's also really fascinating that Afreeca wants to expand in television when it seems that online is the future. It'd be like if Youtube wanted to get into television, why?

esports company news.

1. OGN

Riot games will kick out OGN from LCK. Riot already made esports stadium in Seoul and will broadcast LCK itself. Blizzard also do the samething. They choose MBC sports as the partner of OW league. Now OGN's final option is PUBG. But OGN failed to boom up. This is the biggeet crisis of OGN now.

2. AfreecaTV

They want to make TV channel in this year. So they choose to invest many esprots now.(APL, AWL, ASL..etc. do you know AWL? It is Warcraft 3 league.. lol) The change of ASL interviewer is also the result of this decision. They want the professional interviewer now.




Thank you for the update, big news!

What's APL? Poker?
Poor stargirl Go Afreeca though! I hope they can make it big with ASL at the helm.

3. SpotvGames

Worst situation in these 3 companies. They lost all. Blizzard, Riot, PUBG, and all other major games.

Do they still show FIFA?

That was because it was an invitational based on a viewer poll.

APL is afreeca's pubg's league. however, pubg viewing numbers for ogn/spotv have sucked compared to afreeca which is why OGN/SPOTV are in dire trouble.

the only thing SPOTV has going for them are the nexon game tournaments like fifa online, sudden attack, kartrider etc. that will keep them afloat cause of nexon sponsorship, but thats about it.

by "television", KHJ is most likely referring to IPTV, which effectively has replaced cable television in korea. having a 24 hour running channel and being widely accessibly to the general public has a lot of benefits.

For SC1, I'm assuming there was a problem with last year because of the top tier pros didn't like the poll/format. I'm assuming they didn't get a good return because of the lack of top tier pros.

I think for SC2 its different. They subsidize SC2 and they opted just to double down on GSL rather than splitting it between 2 leagues.

Ah didn't know all 3 channels are running their own tourney. Is Nada playing? Will they revive SPL as PUBGleague?

I watched kartrider a couple of times, glad they still at least can air that. As someone said, it would be sad to see a company in this area fold.

Well SPOTV still has their main sport channel, as far as I understood it, this was just a venture for them to try and also do esports but they aren't reliant on it, right?

I really hope OGN gives it another chance, their production value has always been absolutely stellar!

For some reason, I thought Tyson already went to the army (probably his break from streaming.) Good luck to him in the army though!
