honesttea should have some insider information right?
He is pretty connected to GSI and tasteless so he might know whats going on.
We just have to figure a way to get him to tell >

I reckon the GOM league should be like a tennis tournament and be all over in two weeks with games played every day rather than once or twice a week. By getting it over with quickly it wouldn't distract as much, plus the new style/format would be interesting.

Wouldn't that just screw over anyone that wanted to get far in any of the other leagues at the same time? Not to mention proleague?

Well, you would run it in the gaps (like now) rather than at the same time as another league.

Progamers can't work all year you know. They need breaks between the seasons.

I hope they just plan it for earlier in the day than most of the other games (edit: to avoid conflicts, that is). Then I could watch it live and actually get some sleep!

God i can't handle it anymore. It's seriously getting to the point where I just can't watch all this starcraft. I may have to stop watching proleague altogether.

imho KeSPA often acts childish with their so called "ownership" of e-Sports. It's really laughable at how poorly they handle situations like these.

From the sounds of the OP, it doesn't sound like they're planning on giving us english broadcasting right from the start.
That doesn't sound good

Japanese? Do japanese even play starcraft?
I think China would be a better choice, although their internet might have troubles with a foreign stream.
Noone answered this, and I wanted to ask the same question. I have never even heard about any japanese playing SC - except for immigrants, but that's another thing. Where's the market in that?
And also, I thought Japan and S. Korea really didn't get along too well...

Zero market. I have met about 10 active gamers in three years. However, NaDa and TossGirl recently came to Japan to promote the game.
About Japan and Korean political relations, what the fuck does that have to do with business and StarCraft?

I don't think many Japanese play broodwar, but regarding the S.Korea and Japan relation, I think there are some people that still hold grudges against each other, but recently I heard they've been getting a long a lot better, and have different(positive) perspectives towards each other.

No offence to you IdrA (if you read this).
I don't think IdrA has the power to qualify through a only-progamer qualifier.. T_T Not yet at least.
Btw: REALLY REALLY AWESOME NEWS

Well, I've heard that the politics are what turned S. Korea into a computer gaming paradise (no consoles to play), but that's 10+ years ago. D:
I think most Japanese computer gamers play shit like FFXI.

Most people work "all year" (more or less). There would still be some holiday time left over.

well for Japan, I just assume it's going to be other games, and not Starcraft....

Wait, progamers went on strike? I'm new to the scene (although I've been playing on and off as a newbie for a decade)

Can't progamers take time off regardless of upcoming events?
