My point was not that OSL/OGN relied upon the community. I don't disagree that the major KR events/organizations had huge sponsorships in BW. It was more about everything else. To call SC2 community driven in comparison to BW which to this day was still community driven outside of Korea (Sayle, anyone?) is pretty silly.
@Squeegy
Title sponsorships are beginning to pop up more frequently. Raidcall (which is apparently a huge market in China) is the title sponsor of both Fnatic and Evil Geniuses. With OSL moving to SC2, we will see events being named after such sponsorships as we did in BW, and this will likely become common in the GSL once OGN sets the standard in Korea. We've had events like the Red Bull Battlegrounds, entirely funded by Red Bull with great players/casters, which actually turned out to be a much larger event than I thought it would be.
I'm sorry, is that what you thought I meant? The Squeegy Terminators vs STX Soul. Do you see a problem there?
I would suggest you look at the salaries and team houses of the proteams to get a better idea of what I am saying. Have Justin Bieber do a reality show with the Pepsi Commandos. I am sure you would like that.

out of fairness, I'm going to assume that this is a me problem, and not a you problem, but I actually have no idea what you're saying.

So I like that osl is getting a big sponsor, and if this really is the korean branch of ebay then that counts as a big sponsor. However, my problem is that without tastosis, it will never be the premier korean sc2 tournament, but its production values are probably going to be so much better than gsl's

I wonder how many sponsors vied over the title sponsorship of the new SC2 OSL. Good to see that things are looking up sponsorwise for StarLeague and potentially ProLeague as well. I'm sure the interest in SC2 in Korea, now covered by a real TV station and with HotS coming out soon, will improve a lot. Maybe even Team 8 will find a sponsor now.

I honestly dont feel too excited for broodwar guys getting in sc2. sure they might increase the hype for a time, but ultimately i feel sc2 is a different game and their skill wont cross over easily.
Funny, i bet 6 months ago you were saying the complete opposite. Now that you realize that most of the BW players are not going to be beating sc2 pros

Disappointed!
I thought it was going to be a real auction like so many others.
Still cool, though, but I wouldn't expect anything less from the OSL than good and quick sponsors.

I'm really happy sc2 will now have an event that when you win it, it actually means something.

Ah i don´t know. What makes you think that the OSL will be held in higher regard than MLG or GSL? i doubt that we will have once again big tournaments that are the peak of a full year or so of Starcraft, just because there are so many and sc2 is growingly fast moving. For example look at the current TSL4. The TSL used to be THE foreign tournament in bw times. Like TSl1 and TSL2. But for some reason the current TSl doesnt have the same hype and i think it is because there are to many other "top of the scene" tournaments. Well before i get more OT, im glad that OSL found a sponsor that quick aswell.

I know that casters weigh a lot but don't tell me that if it's not tastosis the event can't be better than GSL or can't be a major, premier event. I will watch it no matter what, but still hope that they hire Sayle because he was he is he will be my favourite caster. But if they don't well the event won't fall into oblivion and collapse in my eyes.

GSL > OSL until proven otherwise imo

I think he's talking about it in a SC2 sense

Cannot wait to have another major tournament to watch in relatively good timezone for Australia 
Plus more sponsors for E-Sports the better for everyone!

Great to see the SC2 OSL instantly got a Sponsor. The name is cool too.
|
the first sc2 osl hasnt even finished, we are only judging it by its BW past. In terms of prize pool , player level , casters (english) etc etc GSL is still better until proven otherwise... the OSL got a pretty insane qualie so maybe its ro16 upwards will be as good if not better than GSL. I do like how OSL have free stream at high quality though since i dont pay for gomtv subs
i just dont buy the prestige part just because OSL is older, especially since its not even sc2. if OSL is indeed better we will see for ourselves very soon

I'm saying that there is not a single SC2 team comparable to a BW proteam. You thought having the sponsor's name was sufficient but of course it is not. There is much more to it. My Squeegy Terminators was supposed to illustrate that.

Glad they got a sponsor pretty quick glad OGN will be a big team league

I also don't believe that Esports in Olympics (if it ever makes it there) will be bigger than Dreamhack. I don't buy all that prestige stuff, especially not when it comes from other sports. Tastosis forever!
