The boss laying down the thoughthammer. Much respect.

He reminds me of Dana White in a way. Both did soooo much for the growth of their brand and sport, in many ways that most people are unaware of.

Hm, I don't really understand Mr. Chae's answer to the decrease of prize money.

I know the amount of games per league has increased, but that only means that the league demands the players to show us more games for the increased costs (which I am sure the players are happy to do).
However, it does not change the fact that I now pay gom 50% more per season, while they do not forward not even close to that percentage of money more to the players participating in the league.

Good job. Very interesting interview.

I don't like that mush this sentence though : "Also, it is a way to include players in Code S that the sponsor might desire". Always hard to keep a fair tournament when players are not chosen only due to their results...
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

I wonder if Gom will ever give any insight to how much money they make (if any) from SC2.

The new league format has introduced foreigner seeds in Code S and the Up-Down matches, offering even more benefits for foreign players. What led to this decision?

The Code S seed isn't just for foreigners. To be exact, it's a seed we offer in consideration of foreign tournaments. You can think of it as similar to the Code S seed available to the MLG winners last season. However, compared to last year when we only gave Code S seeds to MLG winners (regardless of their nationality), this year we're going to consider many foreign tournaments together when awarding this seed. The players could be a Korean players or a foreign players. Also, it is a way to include players in Code S that the sponsor might desire. This is a method that has been used in other ESPORTS as well.


i dont like this at all.. its the same as 2011 all over again

Really nice interview, he seems like a cool guy :p

I hope we'll see more foreigner dominance in 2012 in the GSL :<
Last year with Idra and Jinro coming pretty far, that should be possible again with more players.
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

I don't think you meant "fair," as much as "quality." Those seeds exist, so a player who has "good results" but didn't quite get seeded in to Code S because there were only 30 and not 32 available seats would get denied even if they didn't give the sponsors a say and instead just gave those seeds to winners of foreign events. And if a player who is unworthy skill-wise receives the seed they will promptly be knocked back down to where they belong thanks to the increased mobility of the new GSL system, so it doesn't affect fairness per se. What it does affect is the quality of the event if we see games that are woefully one-sided because a player of insufficient or indeterminate skill received the seed.

Except that sponsors are going to want fan-favorite players to compete to increase viewership. It's not like they're going to open up the TL.net stream list and play russian roulette for the seed. They will choose players that viewers, and thus sponsors, want to see compete, and so we can rest assured that they will be people of skill.

I really like his point comparing GSL format to World Cup in terms of qualifiers. Many teams get a chance to represent their countries because of that format, and while some may get knocked out quickly, there is always that one team (SK in '02, Ukraine in '06, and Ghana/Uruguay in '10) that defies expectations and makes it far.

I think it's a matter of time before a foreign player defies the odds and goes Jinro in the GSL.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

its already been calculated at some posts before, you're paying the same $$ for the same amount of games

sure, there's less total leagues but more games per league, so it turns out to be about just the same amount of games total

Also, to put into reference how wise he is, he held the exact same viewpoint during our discussions on the future of SC2 at IPL. Dude's got it together.

Similarly, cooperation with overseas tournaments has led to more players participating frequently overseas, further improving the financial situation of Korean players.


this is both humorous and depressing. =| good interview.
