We will see how good June will be on May 20th when we see the first BW pros play SC2 live for the first time.

I'm guessing this means no KeSPA players at IPL. Hopefully they can sign with a European partner as well, or MLG "hosts" a tournament in Europe at a Dreamhack or something.

Expect to see some terrible play. Expect Terrans stimming up the choke into FFs etc. It will be fun to watch how BW players fail in SC2.


It's not like they've been stuck watching vods from last year, mistakes are more likely to be execution rather than tactical/strategic.

Expected. Good news but, how do we know that the sc1 players are worth the money? People already travel from everywhere to see the current sc2 players. On top of that the sc1 players are currently practicing both BW and SC2 because of the proleague format and the current OSL.
Honestly the broodwar players will take a while to get to a super high level. They probably will not win any championships any time soon. Still, I hope that the kespa players are able to go to other tournaments as well such as IPL and dreamhack.

Should be interesting how the scene changes over the year.

Does this mean KESPA player will not play in other NA events. Am I the only one who that is not good?

It seems like that yea.. "exclusive deal" =/ I think people are overlooking that part in general.


Also KESPA-koreans have been to blizzcon and WCG before, both held in the US and one by a US company.

Well it is the first time sc2 KeSPA players went there, so they got that part right atleast

Nah, I'd want some foreigners playing them. All the more to delight if foreigners win over supposed the "elite" of gaming as they are far too hyped up as.

before people flip out about the word "exclusive" we don't know exactly what the exclusive is referring to. It could be about the players. Or it could be that MLG can't make a deal with GOM and Kespa can't make a deal with IGN/DH/etc which is guaranteeing Kespa players at these foreign events.

...WCG?

My thoughts as well.

Don't forget that God and some other Protoss guy almost drowned in America. It's a scary country.

Jokes aside, fantastic news. KeSPA players playing exhibition matches at Anaheim has been speculated so hard, so it's good to see that the speculation is true.


flash saved kal from drowning.

They said this was a multi-year deal...me-thinks that we're only being told part of the agreement.

They obviously meant they haven't been to a US based tournament. WCG isn't US based.

Blizzcon then
