Looks like Big Toblizzco wins. On March 17 2012 15:48 Taku wrote: Gom TV getting thrown under the bus? Why should they be thrown under the bus? Proleague was a team effort of OGN and MSN.

GOM/Kespa/Blizzard could make a lot of money in this if they play it right. Could you picture the hype if a team like Incredible Miracle with Nestea, MVP, etc. went up against SKT1 with Bisu, Fantasy, etc? People would throw money at their computer screens to see what would happen when the SC2 "veterans" took on the new BW-turned-SC2 players. | ||

For all we know it could have been planned for a very long time. This is the biggest news to hit the sc2 scene since...Actually ever. Why would they announce it in advance before the details are finalized? | ||

(not this season, but the next). You could put it in Korea, America, Europe, wherever and people will come to see. GOM/Kespa/Blizzard could make a lot of money in this if they play it right. Could you picture the hype if a team like Incredible Miracle with Nestea, MVP, etc. went up against SKT1 with Bisu, Fantasy, etc? People would throw money at their computer screens to see what would happen when the SC2 "veterans" took on the new BW-turned-SC2 players. Tbh I'd rather see more competition between BW pros and SC2 players then just once a season. Why only do it once in a while when you could have competition between them all the time? | ||

True, but the first time the BW-turned-SC2 players (if they switch) play the SC2 "veterans" could be a big match. Even a show match could gainer a lot, lot, loooooot of interest. | ||
