Highly doubt that they will get two new sponsors. I understood it as the existing KeSPA teams will all have a LoL team for the new Proleague. | ||

With STX pretty much taking over CTU, only Woongjin and Samsung remain teams without LoL squads. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them picked up ESG (former SKT T1 #1). The only downside to this is that SC2 may be demoted to Special Force status in terms of Proleague pecking order. | ||

Should be great either way, as long as we have nothing like the abomination that was the Hybrid PL of course  | ||

Sweet LGIM in PL, and going #kespastatus? | ||

The Lotte sponsorship is known to be product-only, I don't think they are behind mvp to the level that redbull is behind startale or lg is behind im | ||

Hope it's gonna be MVP/LG aka likely 2 more teams to Sc2 PL'14. Startale & FXO better follow the trend (but I read somewhere that FXO is actually going for Dota) | ||

Hopefully a larger pro league, but with lol being added I don't know if they have enough time to air sc2 + lol each week with the OGN champs and WCS also on. | ||

The current Kespa teams picking up lol teams makes more sense, not really sc2 related even tho I'm sure it will hurt/help sc2 with scheduling in the future. | ||
