I just don't get how Kespa are supposed to survive when the level of play is so low. Why would you want to watch this instead of GSL? No disrespect, I get that these players are very good at BW and probably any RTS.

Just the business aspect of it. Seems like Kespa is taking a huge risk. Wouldn't it be smarter to bring the GSL players and get high level games to bring over the audience? The BW guys would catch up faster too.

the problem is sc2 isnt exactly popular in korea so theyr trying to lure audience with the well known stars of bw.



BW has survived on the players, not the games. I think it was either Plexa or Rekrul that wrote a blog on this about how broodwar was marketed like a boy band, rather than for quality of games.

I remember reading something like that.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? I don't really get it. So they advertise about the player's personalities and looks rather than the games?


That's kind of what I meant.

Look at the audience.

Look at the male to female ratio.

If KHAN losses 2-1 in SC2 they win overall because they won BW 2-0 so its 3-2 overall right ?


If they lose the sc2 set it goes to the ace match ( sc2 as well )

The more popular/better looking players are marketed like celebrities there, doing photoshoots, having tons of female fans, stuff like that. They build on that to make the scene more popular, a huge amount of Korean BW fans are moreso fans of the players, not the game, especially the large amount of female fans

This could be Jangbi's 100th PL win.

I don't think old records should be carried over to a new game.

He had two controls of marines, one retreating bating the stalkers and one stimmed chasing the stalkers.
