I hope IM do well this season, even if they looked a bit shaky in preseason. I believe in Frozen and Lilac. | ||

I hope this isn't a one and done kind of deal for a lot of these companies. lol why would it be a bad sign? I would be more worried if it was only one | ||

I don't care how much Chinese money you have, coaches are the ones who have been winning League championships since Season 3 and it looks like KkOma ain't interested in that dirty Chinese money. Skt are heavy favorites to win worlds imo. But I wouldn't underestimate the chinese teams. Especially if omg+uzi worls out. | ||

Most title sponsors didn't sponsor multiple seasons, and only in a few specific instances did they sponsor consecutive seasons (Shinhan Bank sponsored 4 consecutive OSLs in 05-06, Korean Air did 2 seasons in 2010, and on the MSL side Pringles did 2 consecutive seasons in 2006, while GomTV had 4 MSLs in 06-08). Basically, this seasonal title sponsor system has been how OGN runs their premier tournaments for more than a decade. It's business as usual for anyone who followed competitive BW and is in no way a cause for alarm when this is how they've always done things. Also, a TLer who didn't follow Broodwar isn't a real TLer to me. On January 01 2015 03:34 wei2coolman wrote: Skt are heavy favorites to win worlds imo. But I wouldn't underestimate the chinese teams.

Korean Air basically did three in a row, given that the one following Korean Air Season 2 was sponsored by Jin Air which is just a Korean Air subsidiary. | ||

LoL popular game amongst teenagers I can see a connection here Anyway if they have the money to sponsor such a big LoL event it means they can easily sponsor bw events too. Good for us all ! | ||

There is no reason to compare those 2 games at all. Noone says that american football is successor of rugby and it's way closer than League and BW. | ||

I think he means in terms of 'flagship korean game'. LoL is the only game that comes close to BW's popularity in korea. I agree with that. LoL is since 3 years ranked on 1st place in the pc bangs ranking with nearly 40%. Youths are talking about LoL all the time when you pay attention when you go to the cafe/subway etc | ||

LPL is okay with one thread per season, lol, because viewership is going to be almost none most likely. I'd like to see GPL threads though, but it's more about Fusilero/Shoot, i'm rare guest there. Cuvee is cool guy actually, if he and Eve can work well together and prevent cuVee getting endlessly camped, Samsung might be top-3 even in the end of Spring. | ||

I bet most a lot of people don't even know that OGN even had an English stream. | ||

Now it doesn't, you will be probably shocked but having free source quality VODs and 2 of 3 playdays being weekdays will do all but raise viewership.

LCS threads were consistently making at least 30-40 viewers in comments last year, even if it's going to be 100, it won't make thread longer than Blizzcon Finals's one.

If the dedicated lol website has any impact at all (which i am not entirely sure it will, but that's another topic), there EASILY should be enough people to justify dedicated threads. Proleague has 6-10 games per day, OGN day has 4-6 + Proleague has girls/FPL/better storylines :D You might be right though, we'll see how it goes. | ||

Doesn't make sense to throw up many dedicated match threads in the beginning, all that's going to happen is for them to be ghost towns with no discussion. It's better to take slow and see what the demand and participation is first then expand to dedicated threads. | ||

I am just saying that IF the new website will be a success, there should be enough demand. As i said before, i am not 100% sure that this will be the case though | ||
