Any news on English coverage by starcast or any of the tastosis duo etc? It is still amazing if there are new leagues, but I feel there are many already in Korea and it would be even more hype if we had some (semi) live coverage in English too.

Yeah it’s fun and there’s some great StarCraft on show, but the real team element is lacking, that would be cool to see if they can get it going

That was the only bad thing about MPL. If they kept the same teams for both Season 1 and 2 it would've been amazing, but they changed it up and it lacked that feel of supporting a team anymore. Then it died when Britney I guess figured it wasn't making him enough money.

Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't the main reason ASTL kind of taking over?

Me googling 100 mil won thinking "thats a buck load of money" then seeing the converted amount to usd and my astonishment shrank. That's still a lot for BW, but the converted figures are not that impressive.

bruh, what are you smoking?

it's A LOT of money for any 1v1 game, especially a 26 year old RTS..


I don't have the statistics on that, but i'll take your word for it. On a personal note, no i'm not smoking anything and my last sentence does confirm that this is indeed a lot of money for BW. People trying to pick fights these days on every word anyone has ever typed..


The amount of money in some of the GaaS games like League, DOTA and CSGO have kind of skewed figures, but the prize money for those games is more than often not entirely funded by the companies that make the game and the games make millions due to microtransactions even now so the prize pools are massive.

BW figures are crazy for something not funded by the developer these days.


I feel like events outside of developers control have actually got insane prize pools. Like the IEM's and other various multi event tournaments. I think BroodWar in some way would be competitive with those style events if Blizzard hadn't tried to kill it and further butchered Blizzard's esports though. But BW would still be smaller in some regard being largely isolated in Korea and on a game that has a limited fan base, but right now would be in a far better state.

So blizzard is still taking 100k for this tournament? How difficult would it be to split this tournament up into an annual with individual 'part seasons' so to just pay the fee once?

Anyways, this is a lot of money given that it is not made from saudi slave/oil money to wash away all atrocities

Hope this happens
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Microsoft just took over. Of course Blizzard is probably going to put their hand into the jar like the leeches they are.

It must be nice to have a developer who puts money into your game scene instead of extracting it.

How hard to choose a map or make a new map?

PSL can host a new league but they can't find any maps is different from ASL. They even choose bad maps from the last ASL while new season of ASL is coming soon with some great maps.

How about these maps:

(2)Detonation
(2)Enter The Dragon
(3)Alchemist
(4)Luna
(4)Nostalgia
(4)Arizona
(4)Namja Iyagi

I think people want to watch players use knowledge and skills in 2024 to play maps in 2004
