Right now Champions is Ro16, four groups of four teams, round robin Bo2. Then it goes into a eight man playoff. Similar to OSL. They have a Summer, Winter and Spring season, like OSL used to have with three tournaments a year. Proleague would probably be twelve or so teams round robin going over the course of a year. | ||

So, potentially even less TV time for SC2? | ||

Broodwar was the only popular game for years with little competition from other developers. Now we have starcraft 2, dota2, and lol. I think LOL is taking away viewers who would normally be watching sc2. Not really. BW had been a popular game but it was not top 1 since maybe 2005. So BW was no where close to the popularity of LoL. If you want, I have data to back up. | ||

If they did a Proleague though, I assume it would mean only Kespa teams and no qualifications, like how it was in bw/sc2. Also how do they handle KT, SKT and others having multiple teams? Do they let all of their teams in, only one team? Wouldn't having a team league that excludes the recent OGN champion's MVP Ozone be a terrible idea? | ||

Theres almost no LoL back in late 2010/2011 you know The side effect was that OGN ended up picking another game as their flagship. And so we arrive at this point when LoL has taken over everything included the beach | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mFIT4ZF.png) Screenshot from Yesterday's LoL Champions. You can see they had a KeSPA sign there, which was not there before yesterday. KeSPA has been considered by many didn't have the control over even their team's LoL part. But this seems like a completely centralization of KeSPA's control over LoL. | ||

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 Startale don't operate a LoL team. Red Bull also aren't a Korean company. | ||
