As long as GOM isn't sanctioned by Kespa or whatever they should relax the rules. Allow in game chat or something fun. Ceremonies for sure. | ||

The leagues really aren't profitable for Blizzard. They're good marketing- but not profitable. They're leaving a lot of money on the table there actually, which was rather good of them. Although maybe they get a cut of the Starcraft-branded merchandising? Would be weird if they didn't. | ||

If they would take money from progaming then they would make it smaller, and they reputation would be worse. | ||

Also, it would be way more profitable if they charged a fee and allowed the leagues to exist then. As it stands the leagues have some indirect benefits for Blizzard. But no direct profitability.

Gom has so much stuff running for it: Pure BO3 from the beginning, not some strange preliminaries and over 2 days stretched BO3's. HUGE player field , not some preliminaries that never air. For Europeans nice time to watch live (Sunday Morning ~10.30 or something like that). Video database, 3 days later but who cares? These are 4 BO3's every weak (8 BO3's in the beginning)... That’s better than Proleague. English site navigation, ok livestreamquality even whiteout premium. English commentary. The whole Gom-Toruney is like the endstages of the MSL/OSL when it comes to the format. GOM > rest. | ||

This is how tournaments should be ran (Imagine if they had a losers bracket... that would be so ballsy epic... though it would take FOREVER.) | ||

Having said that, I hope GOM and KeSPA can come to terms. | ||
