![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/issue/1241074282_1.jpg) The sponsor for the next MSL season (the 17th) will be "Avalon Online," which is apparently, surprise, a MMORPG. It's published by Wemade, who has tried to promote it a lot, including using big name stars like Nada and Moon. It supposedly mixes in RTS elements into the MMORPG. The group selection ceremony will be on May 28th. If I missed anything one of you lovely Korean translators should fill in, I'm getting this second hand from Chinese sites ^^ | ||

Yes, and in fact, WC3 and SC players from the team WeMade fought against each other (most notably Moon vs Nada). Lol youtube video not showing, link here. | ||

It actually doesn't sound too bad, Avalon MSL...kinda rolls off the tongue nicely. At least the OSL got a good sponsor this time around...maybe next season MSL will do better as well. haha. | ||

Because having a good sponsor would make e-sports look like a more legitimate sport in the eyes of non-esports fans. Ever OSL is like AT&T sponsoring a college football bowl game. Avalon MSL is like Call of Duty 4 sponsoring a college football bowl game. | ||

Avalon MSL is about the Terran Emperor and his Knights of the Round Commandcenter slaying the six dragons, right? ![[image loading]](http://www.das-intellektuelle-symposium.de/sc/lancelot.jpg) | ||

Well it does make sense for a game to sponser the MSL look at the age group and population they are aiming to get. There aren't many better places to advertise a game than the biggest game tournament in Korea. On another note: Avalon seems like WC3 with an even heavier emphasis on the DOTA in game -.- doesn't look very good. | ||

I just want to watch starcraft. I guess I'd be disappointed if it's some company with very questionable business ethics but come on, would that really reflect badly on the tournament and/or games? I agree. I'm glad the MSL is getting sponsorships, I don't care who the sponsors are. | ||
