Oh they clearly arent going to send there A squad to nearly as many foreign events as you imply. I would say MLG, Dreamhack, and maybe the odd event here and there but the rest will probably not get the cream of the crop or will get nothing.

I agree they won't go to all the events either but even with MLG added it is going to be a pretty packed schedule. Good news is we have a lot of tournaments to watch .

I could see IPL being a definite option, also IEM's event if they clear up the treatment of players (or so it was said was poor)... I wouldn't limit it to just MLG/DH, and even if it is, that's still awesome.

GSL was the first Korean Star League to market itself primarily to a global audience.
OSL and MSL were being broadcasted with the Korean audience in mind, only.
If I recall, Pro-League still has no English commentators...
It's difficult to globalize the sport the way KeSPA has been doing it for years.
Point is, I do not think you give GOMTV enough credit. GOM didn't have a choice in the matter. Reaching out to a global audience was the only thing they could have done. There was never any hope for them in focusing primarily on Korea, they're simply outclassed in Korea when it comes to delivering game/esports content. Actually he means in the BW days.

Take both these posts with giant slabs of salt. GOM league did not die because of Kespa shenanigans. Typical Kespa hate and misinformation running around SC2 forums. I thought GOM couldn't go on because there were just too many games going on? OSL+MSL+PL meant the schedule for top players were already packed. I remember when Flash had a stretch when he had to play OSL, MSL, PL, AND GOM games for 15 days straight, capped off by losing to Leta in MSL Ro16 after winning the first game. It is going to be interesting how there going to balance that out...I do think though it will be good for the players to make even more money . Well, MSL is no longer exist ( ) so it becomes OSL+GSL+PL which GOM kinda fit in the hole that MSL left. osl + gsl + pl + gstl + foreign tournamanets + wcs soon gg Oh they clearly arent going to send there A squad to nearly as many foreign events as you imply. I would say MLG, Dreamhack, and maybe the odd event here and there but the rest will probably not get the cream of the crop or will get nothing. I could see IPL being a definite option, also IEM's event if they clear up the treatment of players (or so it was said was poor)... I wouldn't limit it to just MLG/DH, and even if it is, that's still awesome.
I think all the premiers will still be well attended (ie MLG, IPL, DH, IEM, Assembly, HSC, even NASL). It's already hard to attend most things even now already =/
Maybe what will happen is we'll see less open bracket koreans, but the seeded ones will probably still be there.

I mean there are lots of tournaments with same players all the time like MLG DH IPL GSL.If BW players get eliminated quickly it will be just another tournament.I just want a different special tournament.

Can't wait to see Kespa players against the old gen. I don't think they're as bad as most people here claim.

I really hope you do well. You're a great guy and it was sad to see so much negative criticism get thrown your way.

Well, there was that MLG Exhibition Tournament. I think the draw of this OSL is to see if the BW players will manage to catch-up by September and if they can pull of the upsets and I think it'll be fun.

Not sure if Huk is back in Korea yet. Jinro is also participating. Slog as well (if you consider him a foreigner). SaSe IMO is the most notable foreigner missing.
