Including key casters switching over including their main SC2 casters Themarine and Gorush, Lee Seung Won has already transitioned to full time Dota 2 casting. There is also speculation that since OGN has no real plan or incentive to host another OSL, that they wouldn't host another SPL either. http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2013112109343326929 http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2013112109242023939 http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/view.php?ud=2013112109134416554 Chinese translation: http://s.163.com/13/1121/16/9E7H9BFH00314Q8N.html
