That isn't what these big sponsors in Kespa pay for, if they move over I assume they'll have their own league running alongside their proleague / OSL shows. Kespa players have licenses for being starcraft 1 progamers for kespa (which is the sickest pain in the ass for blizz btw since they don't get any money from kespA), if they'd switch they would no longer be kespa players, you know like every bw pro that has switched thus far has no longer any buisness with kespa. GOM is a tv channel in korea, you know gomtv, go to gomtv.com and check out the korean site which features a lot more than just the gsl. The only thing about the gsl that lifes of foreigner subscriptions is the foreigner production, and the current stream quality is the quality it is because thats how much the current subscription are able to pay for. GOM has exclusive sc2 rights for I think atleast this year, or maybe just half of it. And even though blizz invited some bw pros to blizzcon to show them how big sc2 is in the foreign scene atm, all the shit that happened between kespa and blizz kinda makes me believe that if kespa will ever host sc2 competitions, it will atleast be in a corporation between kespa, gom and blizzard. | ||

Gom is not a tv channel at all its an internet streaming service. their exclusive rights expires in may I believe. | ||

But I don't think it'll be a mass exodus like people are expecting. At least nothing that would hit the BW scene hard. | ||

And no, current A-teamers won't switch, proleague is too competitive right now. It is not quaranteed succes if you were a-teamer in brood war, it just means that you have higher chance of succes than lets say b-teamers There is many b-teamers who kinda dominate the scene and many b-teamers who fail at the competition. There is just too much variance. This is why bw-succes does not automatically grant you great succes at sc2, it just means that probably it is somewhat higher probability. | ||

Kespa is an organisation built up of the various powerful entities in pro broodwar, CJ, KT, SKT etc etc they are the teams - they own the players. a BW pro wouldn't drop a dedicated income and such a solidified and glamorous position in a REAL proteam sponsored by the biggest corporations in their country on a whim. What you don't seem to understand is that Kespa = teams = players, if they didn't want to be kespa players they wouldn't be in a BW proteam. GOMtv is an online streaming service for music/video/games, it is NOT a TV station just like say Vice isn't a TV station. | ||

SC2 scene is dominated by ex-Brood War players who were good at it. It's not about chance, it about time. Success is absolutely guaranteed and the question you should be asking is not "Will they succeed?" but "How long will it take them to takeover the current 'Good' SC2 players when the 'Good' BW players switch?". Also, regarding the title: 'Top'? Hardly believable. Any 'Top' BW progamer would be crazy to switch to SC2 now. | ||

Not just on GOMTV, GSL is also shown on AniBOX as well as Channel1. We can also watch the VODs from olleh TV. | ||
