OGN and their broadcasts got me into Broodwar. The first game of BW I ever saw was the Incruit OSL finals and all of their proleague matches they showed were all amazing. Everything I do now with BW was directly inspired by OGN and MBC's work on Proleague. I watched I believe every single proleague match from 2009-2011. Amazing production and did so much to support the game we all love.

I mean if i had the chance to watch gaming on TV i would go for it for sure, instead of watching it through a video stream online. I thought OGN lost broadcast rights to LCK last year? | ||

They made a big PUBG push during the height of its popularity, but it never took off as a spectator sport (and now the playerbase has fallen considerably as well). | ||

I suppose CJ Group doesn't see a future in OGN anymore. Not that surprising really considering no BW, no LCK, and no Overwatch League. | ||

I didnt know they lost LCK, OGN really is what grew esports in korea. There's multiple documentaries now about OGN, that also cover not just early days of brood war but also the growth of league for them. | ||

Frankly I'm not surprised by this news. As Waxangel said, the major modern titles do their own production or outsource to Afreeca/SPOTV. OGN had a slim chance of surviving by picking up the rights to do the Nexon Kartrider League earlier this year but clearly wasn't enough to keep them afloat. | ||

I'm lucky enough to have been able to have visited their studio and will always remember how much this seemingly random little channel gave me. Probably can only compare it to VH1 all in all | ||

2020 ffs.. I just hope that old VODs will not be deleted or anything.. or the old YT channel. The OGN may be gone but the history needs to live! All the fantastic memories over the years.. Great times, indeed. | ||

For a few years from 2006 I watched every single game including qualifications and the proleague. The news about Blizzard and SC2 killing BW got me so depressed I couldn't even watch the last real OSL in 2011 with JangBi and Fantasy. Maybe it's finally time to look up the finals last BW OSL was in 2012 and yes, it was a real OSL | ||

I would leave the stream on in the background when matches weren't playing and it never failed to amaze me what kind of variety shows Korea could come up with for Starcraft. There was plenty of dedicated Starcraft content at that time. When I saw this thread I knew I had to post in it. Seemed inevitable with the popularity of streaming, but still very sad nonetheless | ||

Yes from a business standpoint I understand why game companies did it in house. But OGN set a freaking gold standard. Nothing can replace what the Korean producers in BW did . | ||

Of course, the closest that came to reality were the SSL ones, which were of course, broadcasted by OGN. EVER 2007 > All the anime OPs in the world | ||

And hmmmmmmm, related to that, there was a video on the theme of Happy Ending by Mika showing all the OSL champions (Well up until the first Jaedong I think).... well I can't find it anymore. I thought it was on Violetak youtube (which I was sure was banned) but it's not. Well if anyone still have it somewhere, I'm interested for the nostalgia factor. | ||

There was an OGN OSL torrent pack here couple years ago, is that still online? Might buy an external HDD just in case their archive vanishes too. | ||

RIP OGN. Was some great years of watching professional BW. At this point, given that the pro scene is little more than a distant memory, it feels like little more than confirmation of something that has long been clear. It's a shame they couldn't find their place in the post-BW world, though. | ||

I assume you're thinking of MedryBW which unfortunately seems to be gone. I also vaguely remember someone passing around a torrent containing a very large archive of old VODs. If anyone knows where that is, it'd be great to find. | ||
