when is season 4 starting?
many people are asking
GOM guy says:
oh..
블리자드랑 케스파랑 협의 중이에요 (Blizzard and Kespa are in negotiations)
아마 12월쯤 (Possibly, December-ish)
Susan says:
ah, ok.
thank you
GOM guy says:
^^
Super Daniel Man just posted this on Twitter:
as of now I can safely say there won't be any more gomtv leagues with progamers in it.
Does anyone know more about this? I tried replying to it but don't expect him to respond. It would be a sad, sad day indeed if GOMTV isn't going to have a season 4, especially since they just got the backing of Blizzard.
Please post here if you hear anything more about this.
UPDATE
well, to make the long story short, under kespa there are 12 teams and most of them decided not to participate.
Also, a recent reply to this thread from Kennigit:
I spoke with daniel on msn a few hours ago. it's 100% real.
ANOTHER UPDATE
I just want to point out that I said "as of now" meaning it's pending, nothing was stated on the record.
Is there still hope?
More
to me it's pretty certain that league won't continue, at least not in the same fashion as last season,
nothing was stated on the record by them is what I meant, oh and everything I say is I do it of my own volition, and I always go on record!
I think tweeting is pretty much going on record lol, appropriate time to quote a movie I think Denzel washington in the movie
said one of the best lines in a movie " KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME". Damn I love that line, it's been part of my lingual for years now.
so that's what I say to ppl that got upset by my tweet here in Korea, particularly you know who, oh I also want to say to them,
"KING KONG DOES HAVE SHIT ON YOU"

OMG STX/KESPA/GOM DRAMA KEPT JULYZERG FROM GOING TO BLIZZCON
too bad julyzerg can't goto blizzcon I know how much that boy wanted to go, he was next in line to go, after flash and iris. STX stood by KESPA, hate it when players gets left out because of politics. Blizzard holding hands with GOMTV isn't affecting KESPA at all.
THERE NEEDS TO BE 20 PAGES OF RAGE ABOUT THIS

I'm thinking "foreigner tournament" or "amateur tournament".
But I'm also thinking "no tournament".

wtf? 
blizzard go sponsor again luls

Hmmm.
Comparing these two:
"as of now I can safely say there won't be any more gomtv leagues"
"as of now I can safely say there won't be any more gomtv leagues with progamers in it."
That is big I think. They might just be moving in a different direction.

Wasn't drama; July couldn't go because he lost to Effort.

I think he was referring to how July finished 4th in the tourney (needed 3rd to be considered)

Whats sad is Iris and Flash both didnt go to Blizzcon, so JulyZerg would have been able to just fine. And they RANDOMLY took Zero (I love Zero btw).
Who knows...

That was SDM's full statement (you have to read Twitter posts backwards.) It's clear that July couldn't go because of STX breaking with GOM.

Well then.
I think I speak for the entirety of Foreign Broodwar fans when I say...
Fuck you, Kespa!
|
I really want Blizzard to somehow intervene and fuck Kespa hard...
Oh man I loveeed GOM. Shouldn't the title read GOM 4 not 3? I was confused when I clicked the thread (although it clears up immediately after reading OP).

Unbelievable that progamers wont be participating on gomtv tournaments anymore.. djzs christ

Time for foriegners to fill in the void and make GOM international.
I know Tasteless is in America until Oct 3rd or so according to facebook.

A new business model for GOM?
-Foreign sponsors
-Foreign players
-Professional casters
-Top foreigners go to Blizzcon? Top foreigners get flown to Korea for the finals?
LOTS of people watch GOM. It's got a huge following outside of TL.

The blacklisting of gom really doesn't surprise me. Gom is supported by blizzard. Kespa doesn't want blizzard to encroach on their market so they are discouraging players from doing gom. When SC2 comes out kespa will get owned and back down or gom will become the main source for sc2.

Oh oops, I messed up the title. If someone could change it to 'Season 4' instead of 3 it would make a lot more sense.
Thanks!

Honestly I won't miss the tournament as a whole very much - there's just so many games being played when PL/MSL/OSL all get running at full speed, and GOM was never something I would make time to watch. I will however miss the chances to see unique/old-timer gamers in proper televised matches and not just prelims.
