EG could probably do pretty decently if they all moved to Korea and were there for four months straight, but seeing as everyone on EG is always traveling to foreign events, they'd probably get smashed. well good thing this next proleague will be during the down time of most events. DH is done for awhile, MLG is done for awhile, NASL will be done for awhile shortly. IPL the same. No more WCS. Only thing really going on is IEM. Sure there will be HSC and some other smaller things, but I'd imagine most of them would be good with going to korea for a few months. Thorzain said awhile back he was going to Korea after DH Winter. | ||

Batman in an Iron Man suit  Btw, the EsportsTV Youtube channel has Korean vods of the Mvp invitational, but it seems that they can't be viewed in the US so I can't watch it. I wonder how the production value for it is. | ||

Because I thought that the manager was InControl. incontrol is the team captain, the way hwanni talks about it in inteviews, he sounds like he is a coach, but he doesn't necessarily advise players on strategies or tactics. i think he probably advises on mentality, sets up practice schedules, chooses the roster orders, etc but won't tell his players which build orders to do in matches. | ||

And only one round of winners' league, if any. Watching Jaedong and Bisu rack up multiple all-kills is fun, but the top level of competition really needs to expose more players. | ||

The three largest IPTV networks in Korea are U+TV (LG), Olleh (KT), and B TV (SK). SPOTV and SPOTV2 (they have two channels) are carried on all three just like OGN. There are few "cable channels" that aren't also IPTV channels and that number is matched or exceeded by channels that are IPTV-only. Personally, SPOTV feels like a step down from OGN, but how could it not? With its roots in Tooniverse, OGN is the mecca of broadcast eSports for most of us. But times change and at least it's not a complete abandonment of StarCraft. Trying to look on the bright side, SPOTV does have a cleaner stream than OGN (I haven't seen, nor do I even know if they have, a web stream, so I mean on television). Not just in-game but the channel as a whole. Their broadcast of the MvP tournament wasn't as exciting as OGN or GOM, but it was a replay-casted tournament, and they did a good job with it and used a professional sports-like format which OGN used again during their broadcast of BWC in Shanghai. Basically, it's a shitty situation but less doom-and-gloom please. | ||

I dislike all kill all the time. It's why I love the kespa/EGMC format, 4 1v1's with possible ace (or if it's bo7 then 6 1v1's with possible ace). I really wish more leagues did this format or at least switched off, best format is one season of normal then next one can be all kill. I like that style the best like kespa did with proleague in bw ^_^. | ||

All-kills are fun and at all but they don't feel very teamlike and more just 1 player carrying. | ||
