I'm glad GOM is included in this, I feared they'd be left out by Blizzard, which would have been bad as MrChae is basically the Yoda of the scene.

Interested to see GOM included, hopefully KESPA won't chuck them under the bus, should be great! Hopefully this will begin the next stage of SC2, SC2 Proleague 2013?

OH MY GOD! It so obvious!

MLG, Blizzard, KeSPA, GOM, and OGN!? Based on all the recent news I believe this can mean only one thing.....

The involvement of KESPA in anything like this always makes me anxious. Their organisational culture has been to command & conquer with an iron fist, their past actions and current BW structure show this. Knowing the corporate world, there will be a lot of political power plays going on in the background right now. I'm sure Blizzard and GOM will be wary of KESPA, so it will be interesting to see what agreement comes out. I'm really hoping KESPA will be marginalized, but I'm sure they won't do so without a fight.

TBH I feel sorry for GOM and the participating GSL SC2 teams, they have done all the heavy lifting to bring the global SC2 and Korean SC2 scenes together. My bet would be that KESPA's plan will be to play nice at first, extract all the value, and then strong arm them into submission. Blizzard won't really care as long as they continue to make mountains of cash.

Considering you only have joined in 2010 and how deep of a knowledge you have on KeSPA and their organizational culture, I have to ask you about which sources you use for your credibility. I wonder that too. As far as I know, KeSPA (despite all their mistakes in the past) ran the scene quite well up to now. For more than 10 years. Their only major mistake is (in my opinion) to try and exclude GOM and now they are fixing it.

But as I have said before, I like to learn further about KeSPA and what makes you anxious about them.


What. KeSPA is terrible. The way they run things is a huge reason of why BW never really got out of Korea. Look at SC2 without them and how quickly it took off.

i would say foreigners being terrible compared to the koreans did that. sc2 is big because it has local heroes, if the skill gap ends up the same in sc2 as it is in bw and foreign players will be unable to compete at all, i doubt sc2 will be able to survive in the foreign world

All they need now is Boxer, Flash, and MC at the meeting too (because really, why the hell not?).

This should be interesting ^^

I think Boxer will be at the meeting, since he's the headcoach and founder of SlayerS (that article said that headcoaches from the teams will also be at the meeting).

I imagine they have worked out a deal to spread SC2 out nicely. It is going to be good for GOM who i feel has run into a wall, because there is a new GSL all the time. By having different organizations run a tournament it will give GOM and the others more time to hype and prepare for events.

This announcement is the most important moment in this game so far, its potentially something that people will reference and remember 5 years from now.

bye bye Brood War.

now Brood War can stand on my bookshelf along side Age of Empires, Fire Pro Wrestling, MULE, Intellivision Utopia, as great but dead strategy titles.
