Remember, these are the guys that scrubbed a showmatch at Blizzcon, wouldn't let their guys play in GOM's league, and refused to pay Blizzard for licensing SC1. Cautiously optimistic... cautiously optimistic.  In all seriousness as long as the balance of power between Blizzard/Kespa/Gom/OGN/ForeignStuff keeps them reasonable, I'm excited. | ||

Mr. Lee: Officially speaking, Proleague season 2 will begin on 3rd week of May, and it will be both SC1 and SC2. We are still looking into the details of the format that can satisfy both SC1 and SC2 fans. We will probably announce the details by 2nd week of May. For OSL, the new season will begin on October, and it will be a complete transition to SC2. We are still discussing about the requirement of Proleague players. Since it will be both SC1 and 2, it will be hard to change SC1 players to SC2 players in terms of membership. By October, SC1 will vanish and everything will move to SC2. GSTL players is discussing this matter with GomTV and we will discuss with them as well. Way to go, Kespa. It's with disgust that I received the news that this corporation is now hitting with the shovel the game that made e-sports popular in Korea in the first place. | ||

Wow. Didn't think the whole "pylon at natural means Bisu build" misinformation is still around. Someone must've dug up the old English commentaries on youtube. | ||

Paul Sams: As I have said many times before, us four organizations will work on to the globalizaiton of the eSports. Each representatives of the organization will support this as well. Blizzard will support players through Battlenet World Championship. players will be qualified through 19 naitonal championships, and the champion wil lbe decided in the global championship. We plan to find the best of the best in Battlenet-supported SC2, WoW, and Dota. What the DotA? | ||

Mr. Oh: The ultimate purpose of transitioning Proleague to SC2 is for globalization. ... We are already in talk with many leagues in the world and already initiating some. KeSPA-affiliated players will attend international tournaments. Sounds like this has "MLG" written all over it. | ||

Competitive Blizzard DotA? I thought they were designing it to not be for ESPORTS? LoL and DotA2 will be impossibly difficult competitors. | ||

Can someone explain what KeSPA brings to the table in this agreement, other than their players? Obviously the players are a big deal, but if the only leverage KeSPA has over the BW pros is by allowing them to play in the BW scene, and that scene is now going away, what does KeSPA have to offer to Blizzard and GOM? Are the players really that dedicated to staying with KeSPA (because KeSPA does something good for them)? | ||

Enjoy the food, you have earned it. When entertainment companies agree to make more money together, we viewers can not help but win. How many of us have installed gomplayer now? Shit, gom has hundreds of my earned dollars. KeSPA could learn a thing or two from them. International Starcraft, international e-sports FTW! | ||

And experience, especially experience. On May 02 2012 12:26 Emporio wrote: In all honesty, how does this help SC2? Does this mean that SC2 gets the attention and sponsorship in Korea that was taken by BW and SC2 teams can finally feel like they aren't beggars selling themselves off to the highest foreign bidder? While it's cool to see another pro SC2 league with OGN, I really don't see how KESPA helps other than signalling the end of BW and leaving all those fans and money with no where to go but SC2. Almost no one in Korea gave a shit about SC2 scene because they had the BW, much more mature and well rounded. Having KeSPA, now SC2 has the hopes of getting some attention from the massive BW crowds, and of course KeSPA has experience to handle the teams. However it's kinda late, since LoL is already bigger in Korea. | ||
