Okay, I should stop raging but hybrid is such a stupid idea... even full SC2 is preferable.

I hope Fnatic and any other foreign team who wants in gets a chance to play in the OGN SC2-only Proleague, or at least gets a chance to qualify.

PL in OCT?

Way too late, we won't be able to see our pros who aren't in OSL for 4 months? Hopefully they'll have some other events in the meantime, or something.

Having an all BW or SC2 season is much better than a hybrid one. If they had a hybrid season then the quality of matches would suffer due to the fact that players would have to practice for both games. Nonetheless hoping to hear some information that we haven't heard of yet or know specific dates as to when things will occur.

NO, WE MUST HAVE KOREAN OGN CASTERS.

Realistically though, OGN is probably going to pick up English casters, if they did it for LoL they'll do it for SC2. I wonder if thats part of the reason they got moletrap + Torch?

Just to be the one optimist in the thread - having a hybrid SC2/BW league may lead to more interest in BW and therefore the extension of BW. It's like when networks move a struggling show to follow a more popular one.

So weird to hold this conference to announce things when all the agreements aren't even finished yet and there is not a lot of info to be shared... I'm guessing they only rushed to do this for the Hybrid PL.

Umm, no you described exactly what they said they were trying not to do. Which is "finding a better way to implement it than just alternating sets."

So one question, if this PL will somehow be BW and Sc2, I guess that some players will just keep playing BW, and others will switch to SC2, will the sc2 players in the hybrid proleague season be allowed to\are they likely to be playing in other SC2 tournaments also? (E.g GSL\foreign tournaments)? And also, if there is a hybrid sc2\bw league, would it not make sense to keep the top tier broodwar players playing broodwar until it is completely faded out?
