Still, it's good they are finally getting together and hopefully laying down a foundation so that the pro sc2 scene is able to run for the near future. Hopefully some sort of plan where the GSL takes up the MSL's mantle, the OSL transitions to sc2, and there's a realignment plan whereby the bw teams can coexist with the GSTL teams in a competitive league of some kind. (perhaps make the bw teams into one 'conference' and the GSTL teams into another 'conference'; or perhaps just mix and match them in some way so that the division between teams isn't so pronounced.) | ||

(only mania level, like tl.net pre-sc2) korean domination seems inevitable in sc2 (korean domination is going now, it'll get worse with top talents from bw join in) and people might move on to different games. i'm talking far future, not right now. i'm saying sc2 will probably die outside of korea first IF foreigners can't compete/keep up. Not at all similar. The difference is having these massive TOURNAMENTS which our players compete in which keeps the competition high. MLG, Dreamhack, NASL, IPL, IEM, HSC. It's no longer impossible to train at a high level outside of Korea. Hence players like Stephano. Korea already had this system in place when SC2 came out in terms of having the infrastructure for tournaments such as GSL and the players to make it competitive. That's why it's a very positive sign that all of our foreign tournaments were able to establish themselves before this switch and have a head start on the BW pros. With leagues like NASL keeping our players playing competitive matches at least once a week I think we should be fine for quite some time. Personally, I think it's just hugely positive for the global SC2 scene that this is happening. | ||

-Proleague with merged GOM and KeSPA teams simul-cast on GOM (global online) and OGN (Korean TV) -Dual individual leagues: GSL and OSL2 -Some sort of revenue share system? -Some sort of merged team administrative system a la KeSPA? | ||

I've read LoL is huge in Korea at the mo and SC2 is hardly played in PC Bangs etc, I feel like Blizzard should stop trying to exert any sort of control and just purely support whatever the people in charge of korean SC2 and BW tournaments want to do. | ||

2. OGN and Gom will have individual leagues. Much like OSL and MLS 3. They will either have 1 collaborative team league or each have one. 4. Kespa will recognize sc2 players as pros. | ||
