you do know that you can pros can stream simply to gain more fans, interact with current fans, etc. also, i think a lot of people in the scene recognize that most pros dont leak secret builds or strategies while streaming, rather they use a lot of generic builds and plays.

Here's the official hybrid integration process and solution:

Instead of playing alternating sets of BW and SC2, players will play matches between BW and SC2. We believe this will make for interesting games and bring both communities closer together.

Unit sounds and music will differ for each player and we will implement a new observer UI that allows the spectator or referee to choose between BW or SC2 music.

Our talks about this have all been fluff and rainbows until Dustin Browder insisted on adding at least 4 sets of Destructible Rocks on each tournament map. We gave him a large 4 piece puzzle to color in and as you all can see, he finished it while we agreed on the terms we presented you today.

We cannot tell you details or dates but we love us, each other and you!
More information soon to come when Dustin is done coloring the huge broken heart that says "BW Fans".
Thank you!

It's not so much that top pro gamers doesn't want to reveal their secret strategies, but they don't want to reveal their weaknesses. If Jaedong started streaming and Flash could just hop on his stream along with the rest of the KT team and in detail just break down his play and analyze every single weakness from Jaedong's own PoV, then Flash wouldn't just win, he would absolutely demolish Jaedong because he knows exactly what to do.

iirc jaedong/etc weren't allowed to stream with hiya (at least from what I remember on that topic?), but was allowed to play games with hiya that hiya could stream.... but they couldn't even stream on afreeca

so I somewhat doubt it? oo

I think with blizzard acting as puppet master, KeSPA will have to loosen its grip on their players. I think kespa players streaming is a good possibility; however, I doubt many of them will stream even if they have permission. Hell, I doubt many of them will even ladder. kespa pros have such a sick practice regiment that there isn't any time for leisure ladder time.

Lol, why do people act as if Blizzard is the stronger partner in this? KESPA is backed by corporations that are worth much more than Vivendi. Blizzard won't be doing any puppeteering soon

Blizzard owns the intellectual property. I can pretty much guarantee that blizzard is the reason why the switch to SC2 is 100%. You can have all the money in the world at your disposal; however, if you don't own a product, you are severely limited with what you can do with it.

Vivendi is like 18 billion and is larger than EA. So this is actually a sincere question - how much money is backing KESPA?
