Hello everyone. As you guys know, Tving Starcraft League(2012) was the last Brood War league by OGN. After the Final match, caster Young Jun Jeon had an emotional closing speech with other commentators.
I always uploaded the match video with subtitles, but one of the reason why I made this channel was because of these commentators trio. I'm not sure that I translated this moment as well, but I wanted to share it for all SC league fans.

No need for this type of comment in this thread, this has been discussed to death for ten years and both games are still good and still have leagues going.

Not only esport was very young and fragile, Korea itself was way more fragile than today as the economy was much much smaller.
Hopefully we'll not witness ever again big corporations deciding the faith of sports or esports with the mere power of money overwhelming an entire sport scene.
Esport still very new and young in the west so people should keep being aware of this type of risk.
Seeing this pisses me off... sorry, I loathe Blizzard/Kespa to this day because of this. Thanks a lot for the translation though, that's the least that I can say.

Well I'ts true. Ive never seen a person or organization trying to shut down major chess tournaments because there is now a Chess 2.0, either use it or lose your license to have chess tournaments and to me BW is both a classic and a timeless game, thats why esports has a downside.

But wasnt Kespa a victim too of Blizzard's impositions?

This exactly the type of comment that needs to be in this thread. Where else would it fit?
