So, Waxangel is off to Korea to cover this for us - Awesome, btw

[image loading]

Does anyone know if he will be doing any livestreaming of the press conference or similar?

problem with the lack of foreign representation in most international events in SC2 is about the money. Foreign players
won't train like Koreans if there is no financial reward for playing 12 hours of SC2 per day. there needs to be more money
involved. But, it seems like in the world of SPorts, SC2 is a small little niche sport.

I'm seriously praying that they can come to an arrangement wherein GOM becomes the new MBCGame, and the GSL the new MSL, which will coexist along with the OSL which (hopefully) will switch to SC2 after this season. Then, they can either combine GSTL and Proleague into one super team league, or they can keep it separate and have the champions of each league face each other to determine the overall teamleague champions.

Whats everyone expecting?

I dont see Kespa and GOM for example working together closely, but i do see them spread their dates and tournaments around instead of going head to head. Will Kespa signed talent be allowed to compete in GOM tournaments? I really hope so, i think especially the GSTL will get immensly more entertaining as we would have up to 18 teams.

Considering the rather small popularity of SC2 in Korea, i dont think the various organisations nor Blizzard wants them to split an already small audience in half with different tournaments going on at the same time.

Thats what i am expecting at least.

i think it would be good and healthy to have two seperate leagues and a JOINT team league.. just my feeling, until the BW pros catch up!

A separate league until they catch up? That's nonsense.. They had the chance to switch anytime they wanted for the past two years. They don't deserve any special treatment, or ways to earn money above the player base there is now. They can train and try to compete, and i wish them the best, but no special treatment.

Because Korea doesn't have internet/computers/ways to write things and post them online?

KeSPA team players already make more money than current SC2 teams from their salaries.

If the next proleague is as rumored to be bw and sc2, would you like to watch why MVP was called 'woongjin terran'?

Hahaha, oh wow the insults come up. And we'd get to see MKP play Protoss as well as Neastea play 2v2. We won't know what is going on till another 30 ish hours. The intent of the Kespa league (Proleague) seems to be mixed. Yes there may be different leagues but if you tried to combine the leagues you would get every BW game won by Kespa teams followed by every SC2 game won by GSTL teams till a few months were Kespa players will start winning SC2.

I would like to know this as well.. I've looked at both foreign and korean sites and can't seem to find a specific time for it T.T
