Yeah, there should be something to compensate for the MSL. Whether this mysterious statement will be about combining BW and SC2 or switch to SC2, it will be great news for StarCraft.

Why did they let Gom get into this deal. Oh god how I hate Gom. I hate Blizzard more but since it's their game Kepspa/OGN had no choice.

They should prevent SC2 only players from playing in this league. You have to master both games. That's only fair.

well this basically end the foreigner scene once kespa gets involved. if kespa acts like they do with bw on sc2. It'll be the end of the foreign scene. foreigner will either have to join a korean team or can't play in kespa leagues. which means that no foreigners will play in leagues and then Koreans won't actually want to play for foreign teams.

Koreansd will have less time to play in foreign events, which will take a lot of the starpower away from foreign tournaments, which won't help viewers. If Kespa gets their way its over. I just hope blizz and gom know what they are doing and don't let that happen.

This is just a tiiiiiiny bit presumptuous don't you think. Particularly seeing as all the teams have expressed their biggest regret about BW was that it wasn't international?


If they keep the system they have in bw going in sc2. It will end the foreign scene. It may not be directly, but it'll happen.

No more huk in GSL ever, since he isn't good enough to get through Code B, no more Jinro, SaSe, Haypro, stephano in GSL. Cause they would have to win courage first. And having a Code B like tournament, I doubt even Naniwa would be able to win one, just because the brutality of it is so high.

You must be forgetting the free progamer liscences that kespa gave to teams (2 per year), arguably so that SKT could give LX and PJ licences (chinese players) and indeed, estro eventually gave idra his license through that. KeSPA never kept foreigners away, foreigners were just too shit to compete at the end of BWs life. KeSPA isn't an evil entity, they have done some dickish moves in the past, but on the whole they grew brood war in Korea and made it so that there is a esports framework setup for future generations. No reason that the same won't happen here.

Oh you wouldn't want to hear what I heard from CJ Entus PR when I brought up the topic of IdrA...

Spill the beans .

Not going to sound shocked that it is happening, even so CAN't FUCKING WAIT!
A joint Proleague with OGN and GOM is going to be absolutely amazing

Not really, why would they invent something that took two years to develop? Just stupid, rather we will see same strategies except exceptional mechanics and more multitask.

What an excellent thing to wake up to. Almost makes me feel better for missing the first half of this morning's GSL. (I was really bummed out by this!)

Well they cant include the current Sc2 teams yet, as they want to keep bw partially. sc2 teams are unable to play that, so they wont be included in Proleague( i hope)
