The only letdown is of course that we probably won't be seeing any foreigners in the SC2 Proleauge, otherwise all seems well. It will definitely be awesome to be able to watch the GSL as well as the SC2 Proleague, making for much more entertainment. I also somehow foresee that many current BW professionals will switch over to the SC2 Proleague as soon as they deem it profitable, and thus we may well see a resurgence of skill into professional StarCraft 2. All of this is pretty exciting to me. To be fair there's no foreigners in GSTL either. But if there's an Sc2 OSL then foreigners will I'm sure be welcome to attempt to qualify. Yes there are. Huk was oGs' ace. If you look its not even oGs in the GSTL, its oGsTL and has been for some time. Also Sase and Naniwa can be used by StarTale. Oh and that time QXC all killed IM.
What a truly awful post.
Huk played once. He was never oGs's ace, he played one time. Plenty of other teams have used random players last before, it doesn't make you an ace when you are only used last once. oGs might be paired for Liquid but they've only used a foreign Liquid player once in I think three seasons of GSTL where they've been allowed to use Liquid players.
Sase and Naniwa can play but they don't because they're not good enough and Startale has better options.
QXC played on a foreign team the one season where a foreign team played. So yes, well done for noticing that the one foreign team is GSTL used foreign players.
For the overwhelming majority of GSTL foreigners don't play, including this season where not one single foreigner has entered the booth.

I just hope the prize money makes it worth it for foreigners to come to korea more often t.t

My body needs to watch jaedong play !

Is it even possible for us (foreigners) to even watch things on OGN? I'm totally unfamiliar with it.
It's actually easier for foreigners to watch OGN's proleague than it is to watch GOMTV's events, since OGN streams proleague live on www.youtube.com/esportstv

It would be rather swell if Blizzard would pick up Team 8 and prop it up once this shit launches. Doing so can only give them positive PR in Korea. I think you'd agree that that is something they really need at this point. Objectively speaking, SC2 can't just push out Brood War overnight. Artificially killing BW would cause a major uproar, so doing something like this could only be beneficial for all sides.

All the naysayers and BW apologists are so funny.
the korean fans will flock to wherever their favorite BW players end up. If they all move to LoL, korea will watch LoL. If they all retired at once, pro-gaming would wither and die. If they end up playing SC2, korea will watch SC2. its that simple - mike morhaime is shopping for "star power" for SC2, nothing more, nothing less, and by the sounds of it he got what he came for. Which can only mean good things for us all, except the diehards who believed broodwar would continue forever.
pretty much this. the fans will go where ever the players will go. in this case, it looks like season 2 will be sc2.
my guess is that we'll see kespa and its corporate teams will run proleague with osl as it's individual league. gretech will continue to run the gstl with gsl with the non-corporate teams.
as for 'interleague' play, who knows.

Well, they gotta do something to keep sc2 alive for the pro scene or else league might just sweep it all away. This is a good sign for sc2 thought, glad blizz is still willing to work things out

I can see it now. Opening match: 2v2 IMMvp & IMNestea VS Jaedong & Flash.
Korean Girls and boys everywhere wet themselves in excitement.

I'd be more interested in Nestea playing with Reach, for old times sake :p

So the great exodus begins...
I love BW and I am so sad I missed out on all its years of glory (too busy playing WC3).
I am going to miss it if it finally goes.
Long live Starcraft 2. Make BW proud.
*sheds tear*

Best news for a fortnight! Things have been done behind the curtains, which that interview with a OGN director in Thisisgame, in retrospect, show.
OS2L fighting!
EDIT: And I am convinced that the Koreans who look for foreign team are doing so to avoid the invasion of BW-professionals. The player pool will be larger and even more skilled very soon, so if you can fetch a good price now, before they drop, it might be worth it.

I would love to see more ppl in korea playing SCII, cause I am so sad, since I saw the stats from the lol report, on the General Forum.
|
Some of you are seriously thinking they'd stop BW completely for this? Seems really ridiculous, what's the gain for OGN there... It'd just piss off alot of fans. And for what?

fans will crowd the studio thats for sure, but what about Ongamenet TV viewership?

I can imagine Nestea having nightmares about zergbong when this goes through

Im a huge BW-fan but latly i've come to realize that this great era might have come to an end. Sad to say but SC2 is the future, BW is the past. Doesnt matter how great a game BW is and how many awesome moments you've shared watching the proleague. Also SC2 is a great game with huge potential, it has still not reach its climax where all the pros figured every single trick out, i just hope that blizzard wont see SC2 as they see WoW and release 12.000 expansions.
Sooner or later there will not be any new people putting time into playing BW and the scene will die out... and with the SC2 scene constantly growing it would just be amazing if all the legendary BW players would change to SC2.
