My excitement for SC2 has been built up on the players and tournaments that's already in place. I've really been looking forward to seeing these BW legends go up against the SC2 champs. But if they just stick to different leagues and this Kespa/MLG partnership takes over the scene with the old one losing relevance, i dont know if I'll find that interesting enough to follow. | ||

Flash and others are BW legends, no doubt, but not SC2 legends (yet). Mvp, Nestea and others are. So, i think for me it's only hype that will be depressed after ppl watch the games and see veteran getting destroyed, or maybe not, because foreigners are not in the current korean lvl right now. | ||

These MLG events will of course be PPV, so the only way to see KeSPA players playing is to fork out cash. MLG will of course share the profits they make off of this with KeSPA. Makes sense for the companies in short term, bad for the SC2 scene in general tho. MLG Championship events always have been free, nothing has changed. Tune in during Anaheim and watch, it will be free. | ||

Am I alone in thinking back seat moderators should get warnings... As someone who just played casually and didn't follow pro broodwar I have no idea what the implications of this are. Is with the exception of MLG turning into a parallel leagues situation with entirely different player pools? Wording seems a bit vauge, are we going to see KeSPA players in the open bracket or is there a total separation thing going on? | ||

But what i see here is that there is going to be an exclusive tournament for the Kespa guys. And probably this stream wont be free. Also the HotS stream won't be free either i suppose. So yeah for the first time i will see myself thinking about buying this stuff. | ||

If Sundance could make every MLG a PPV he would, and thats where SC2 is heading. When you've locked up players that everyone wants to see, and can't see anywhere else... viewers will be coughing up money. | ||
