It's clear that they are responsible for this along with Kespa, and are lined up to replace OGN for the English cast. Some of the posts in this thread are shady. You're speaking with certainty about something you have insufficient information about. Your statement contains nothing but a leap of logic founded on a cynical assumption. It's entirely possible that KeSPA told MLG there would be no other English cast, or that MLG's cast would only be on weekdays since there was already an agreement in place with OGN for OGN to only be covering weekends. | ||

When I read that MLGLee tweet two days ago, I thought to myself, "Why would he tweet that? OGN are already doing it." Random and strange at best. Now suddenly KeSPA boots OGN and their English broadcasting team around DoA that have been preparing for broadcasting Proleague for quite a while now. I hope this wasn't MLG putting that idea in KeSPA's heads to be able to get a piece of the cake. I hope you guys understand that the magic of Proleague is not just the matches, but the studio atmosphere, how the players and teams will react, and so on. Casting from replays hours later just doesn't cut it. If MLG wants to get involved, work with OGN and Team DoA, as they will be able to be present in the studio. That way all their preparation will also not be for naught. The broadcasts rights of Proleague are owned by KeSPA, not OGN. MLG is doing the right thing. You know what I miss? A TL not ruined by misinformation fueled by rage. | ||

Personal view: Proleague was one of the biggest BW tournaments. But as far as SC2 goes it doesn't have a history. It hasn't established itself yet. Regardless of its BW history it isn't a "must see" competition for SC2 at present. The current biggest SC2 tournaments are the GSL and GSTL. So their direct competitor is basically the GSTL; and the GSTL is what they are going to be measured against. Compare and contrast...GSTL production quality with how they're approaching Proleague here... If KesPA wants Proleague SC2 to be a success THEY ABSOLUTELY CANNOT AFFORD TO BE DOING THIS KIND OF THING CONSTANTLY. They NEED a English broadcast for the international audience. They NEED to be seen to be putting on a high quality entertainment production. Most importantly they NEED to stop appearing like they're trying to screw people over because it pisses people off. And doing that is going to make people just not bother watching. | ||

Since they will just stream it 12h+ after the games were played. They might even revoke the sc2 spoiler rule due to this rebroadcast by MLG. I want my PL fill before i go to work. | ||
