Was browsing PGR21.com as usual, came across some tidbits. All the links are in Korean, so don't bother if you can't read them.
First...
http://www.fighterforum.com/news/news_read.asp?cat=ISS&idx=23485
The map Haunted Forest might be on it's way out of the current OSL. The pro teams have expressed their displeasure with the map, in particular the trees in the middle causing units to become stuck under certain circumstances (vultures planting mines, lurkers burrowing/unburrowing in close proximity with other units). OGN is looking into replacing the map mid-season.
Some other posts I've read suggest the map makers were aware of these problems during testing, but OGN approved of the map anyway.
Second
http://itnews.inews24.com/php/news_view.php?g_menu=020500&g_serial=308113
Gretech, the makers of GomPlayer and GomTV, and sponsors of the MSL are interested in becoming a producer and broadcaster of their own progaming content. Already having a studio of their own, they plan to hold a 16 man invitational tournament of the league winners + top kespa rankers of 2007. They are also said to be interested in the broadcasting rights to the proleague, currently shared half and half by OGN and MBCGame.

argh, Haunted Forest looked like an interesting map, sad to hear there were some bugs =(
Also, what's up with Gretech? Do they have a TV-channel or are they looking to broadcast solely over the internet?

Thanks for the news Wax, interesting about Gretech now wanting to host their own channel/events, probably will be a failure like CJ Superfights though.

wow cool about the Gretech event and stuff and sad to hear about Haunted Forest and there used to be a failure for CJ Superfights? never knew that
|
This means more new maps right? HURRAY!
|
Maybe we'll see "Haunted Field" soon.

I think they should at least remove SOME trees, that forest is WAYYY too crowded.

If you've actually played Demon's Forest, there are a fuckload of expansions.
edit: i hope they dont remove it, but modify it it heavily, like put an eleveated area in the middle (peaksy style)

amusingly enough, I think CJ is the majority shareholder in Gretech by a gigantic margin

CJ has 24.5%, which is the largest share to a single entity. (Second: the CEO of Gretech, with 10.1%
However, in terms of CJ (24.5) versus the Gretech executives (35.8% all together) CJ's not really in a place to be calling the shots.

Interesting news. Thanks for the update..
Do the trees cause miss chance without foliage, btw? Or are they just there to limit vision?
