I think this actually will help SC2 viewers grow though when big names like stork , jaedong, bisu, flash play sc2. | ||

But a lot of the shit that they get is completely unjustified (like the entire IP rights debate). But there's a ton of reasons to fling shit at them for, which is why everyone looks at KeSPA and see EVERYTHING they do as terrible. But just remember not everything they do is terrible and being out in the public spotlight sucks since things you do/say often get misinterpreted  Blizzard can't do shit about it. It's all GOM at this point since GOM has that exclusive contract. Indeed and speak for yourselves instead of someone else. | ||

If Happy played in foreign tournaments, he would never lose a TvZ again. Would have to work on his TvP though, there are lots of good foreign Protoss. | ||

I wonder if some of these guys will go back to their old teams, could have some serious drama going on soon O.o Edit: On January 23 2012 23:33 canikizu wrote: Yeah I love OGN's HD stream and English cast and how they try to reach out to the foreign scene. They have the best commentators though; those guys know how to bring the excitement even if it's in a language you can't understand! | ||

Well isn't that the same for the gom casters? from those spotlight vids they sure sound hyped up as hell. Unless ofc you actually watch the korean stream somehow. | ||

This is the part I don't get. "bw's sc2 league." How does that work when gom has full broadcasting rights? It seems like gom can basically tell them they do things goms way or they don't get to do SC2 at all. Now obviously gom doesn't want to exclude them, but I think if kespa was to start an SC2 league it would be on GOMs terms, or it would be shut down. | ||

Don't that depend on what kind of deal gom have with blizzard? They can't have full broadcasting rights unlimited into the future. If Kespa or whomever throws enough money towards blizzard anything is possible probably. | ||

That's true, I believe (not 100% sure) that goms exclusive rights end sometime in 2013, and what happens from there no one really knows. | ||

And, too much egoism right here, everyone wants to protect their own interests besides let e-sports grow overall in south korea. Why? Because gom , obviusly is just saying that they are worry for the teams, but in reality, they are worried for their own channel only. The current teams have grown with gom and made Gsl what it is today. Gom isn't just saying they are worried, they are actually worried. They obviously are more connected to current sc2 teams than up and coming Bw teams. | ||

I want to see the scene grow in Korea, but I don't want to see the foreign scene die off completely because of it. I'm thinking in 2013 we will be seeing alot of familiar faces playing LoL or Dota2. If foreigner pro's are serious about this game and want to make a living off of it they are going to need to commit fully to Korea. | ||

While I think Brood War teams switching would drive some insane attention to the Korean SC2 market, I can't help but think it might also obliterate what we know as the current dynamic of SC2 worldwide. | ||
