Maybe LG outbid em? Either way LG is a huge Korean based global company. Really loving this! :D | ||

Yeahh when I first saw it I knew there'd be some drama. I do believe they at least considered it cause the same thing was "rumored" to have happened with one of SKT's subsidiaries. Oh wells, LG Electronics is really really good anyway. GOM is doing so well to be working with major corporations lately. | ||

LG must really like the idea of having ten of thousands 14-25 years old watching their products in the GSL :D . Poor Samsung wont sponsor SC2 anytime soon. Anyways good news | ||

Yea, LG has their brand of laptops and desktop computers (as does Samsung) in South Korea. Formerly, LG had a partnership with IBM for their PC business. Both Samsung and LG produces pretty much all imaginable household appliances in South Korea, as well as electronic devices. | ||

Here you go 2) Super Tournament (1 tournament a year in May) - Ro64 Full Tournament (Code S 32 + Code A 32) - Only tournament of the year when all the players from Code S and A compete against each other. - Same format as the GSL Pre-Season Tournaments. - Ro64 ~ Ro16 : best of 3, Ro8 ~ Semifinals : best of 5, Finals : best of 7 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=177251 Cool to see LG sponsor GSL. I look forward to seeing what kind of commercials they'll run during the tournament, and I also look forward to Tastosis plugging their sponsorship after every match. | ||

Considering that they're full time GOM employees and that the Super Tournament is basically the exact same format as the Open Tournaments, I'm fully expecting Tastosis to cast the entire tournament. I really don't see a reason for them not to, especially considering that they casted the Open Tournaments quite fine with no complaints about overworking and stuff. | ||
