A Starcraft 2 league promoted by OnGameNet is on the talks. GomTV, currently the only organization able to grant the rights to hold a Starcraft 2 tournament in Korea, has given Blizzard green light to promote talks with KeSPA and OGN directly. However, this is an exceptional case, and any other organization seeking such rights in the future will have to get it from GomTV.

Starcraft 2 in Proleague is now certain, says 데일리e스포츠(T/N: Daily eSports, a Korean website focused on eSports related journalism).

"We decided that Blizzard dealing with KeSPA and OGN directly would be more beneficial for the growth and evolution of the eSports market" said a GomTV representative. "We haven't given up the sole rights for SC2 in Korea, and GSL/GSTL will still go on".

An unnamed Korean industry insider said "There is a strong possibility that the next season of Proleague will have both SCBW and SC2, and the next one after that will have only SC2".

This would not make me happy.

If the next proleague has SC2 I am going to cry a river of joyful tears.

I get the strong feeling that Blizzard is going to botch this terribly. I'm happy that they don't seem to pull the plug on GSL (which would have been a tragedy), but killing off BW Proleague seems like bottomless idiocy to me. Hopefully it won't have to end that way :<

This is the only possible outcome that would be good. Man, it must be very stressful to be a progamer right now

Is it BW getting old or BW pros getting old. Always confuses me. I don't follow the BW scene so I have no idea if new names are still emerging and keeping the competition alive.

Nice job posting that in SC2 forum. It hurted me to read only this one page.
I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka straight from the samovar, and my riding bear plays on the balalaika.

Finally. But no more BW? Even though I like to watch SC2, that is very, very unfortunate that it(BW) would be eliminated.

There has been rumors about this already and it sucks. I'll be angry and disappointed if this happens..
