Translated excerpt from article thanks to Jin-Hong Cho:
[image loading]

Key organizations of eSports industry will come together to propose eSports vision through Starcraft 2.

On May 2, Blizzard, KeSPA, Gretech, and OnGameNet will have an unprecedented meeting to hold proclamation on Starcraft 2 eSports vision. This declaration, which would be held on COEX Intercontinental hotel harmony ballroom in Seoul, will have Paul Sams, COO of Blizzard Entertainment, Baek-Young-Jae, CEO of Blizzard Korea, Lee-Young-Hee, President of KeSPA, Bae-In-Sik, CEO of Gretech, and Hwang-Hyung-Jun, Chief Director of OnGameNet, as well as coaches and players of progaming teams.

Original Korean Article: http://sports.media.daum.net/general/news/esports/breaking/view.html?cateid=1079&newsid=20120426123408646


Basically it's an announcement that Blizzard-Kespa-OGN-Gretech together are going to announce something related to Starcraft 2 on May 2nd KST. The article goes on to speculate that it's an announcement of Proleague starting in May.

Hearing this, and old broodwar gamers like flash and bisu considering races, and training for sc2. I'm looking forward to the announcement come may 2nd.
