Everyone still sucks at the game, so I don't know if raising the skill ceiling is really what it needs. There is literally no player that even comes close to the skill ceiling as is. They could/should add more, but it has nothing to do with anyone reaching the skill ceiling. And anyone that thinks that BW is going to get dropped for this is ridiculous. It makes no sense. The whole point for OGN is to broadcast SC2 AND slowly re-introduce sc2 to BW watchers, cutting BW out immediately (or any time soon) would make every BW fan (including myself) pissed beyond belief. They aren't stupid, they love BW and know their fans love it as well. On March 17 2012 17:19 Areon wrote: Wait.... what? Another GSL? Another IPL?

I can't stand when Blizzard is so unspecific about announcements like this. Blizzard is so unspecific in general, like not having the pricing for the WoW annual pass anywhere in the FAQ. That was just ridiculous. I had to learn from a friend who bought it that it's the same flat rate of $15 a month because Blizzard didn't have that information anywhere until you buy it! Point is, Blizzard please clear your crap up and be more specific. Please? It is specific. It's talking about having pro-league (which is the BW name for the team league) broadcasted on OGN (broadcasts BW on TV in Korea and has done so for many years) in the near future. | ||

With the extreme popularity of casters in general, I can easily see that the more successful league of the two will not be based off of the players that are in it but rather which one gets Tastosis and thus the foreigner eyes. | ||

The problem with regards to the newer generation is that, the wall they needed to destroy was so massive compared to the ones the earlier foreigners got. I mean, Idra was the only one among the later generations who got a LIVE TV appearance in korea from a GOM League. | ||

It is, however, not a reference to the appearance in the picture in the OP. | ||

Point is, Blizzard please clear your crap up and be more specific. Please? What's wrong with another GSL? Back in BW we had the OSL and MSL, and players were able to compete in both of them without too much trouble. Heck, it even adds to the prestige of winning when players like Flash were able to win both of them in the same season while their opponents only had to prepare for one. | ||
