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. | ||

I doubt they would have the time or energy to stream ontop of their practice schedule, which will be different than what other teamhouses do now. | ||

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! ; ) This is so awesome hahaha! Will foreign players be allowed to compete freely in the new tournaments or will it just be korean based? | ||

Considering SC2 replays of those pros would instantly become available on all websites ever, nd anyone playing them on ladder would immediately see at least their build orders, there really isn't that much of a difference if they do stream, interact with their fans, gain more recognition with the current SC2 fanbase, and increase their brand. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

As are the Telecom companies backing KT and SKT1. There's a lot of money backing KESPA. | ||
