They had a thread about this in 2012. They made a risky investment by reaching some kind of deal with Kespa to get exclusive players' rights hoping to generate big bucks. Don't think that's going anywhere considering the amount of money they're spending on players' airplane tickets and hotel for the next event. You don't have to be very smart to know that GOM is losing foreign subscribers compare to the early days of 2010 and early 2011. They're moving to a new place and doing "MORE ESPORTS". I don't think they can survive just on SC2 alone. Sometimes you have to jump ship to survive. So no facts, only your uninformed opinion. | ||

Will there be LoL? Good chance. Will there be Fifa online 3, sudden attack, Syphers and that DOTA2 clone they have knocking around? Probably. I'm sure once the interview with Mr. Chae from choson daily comes out, we will get to know more (Saw him being interviewed in Cafe Bene). A change in ownership could be a very good thing. They help sell rooms at the cosmopolitan hotel, and they do a fucking good job of it. I feel they're making too much content, and a streamlined system will probably help boost the brand. Who will take it? Who knows | ||

Was about to point this is as well to all the SC2 destiny wannabies, IPL has other games than just SC2, if it was SC2 dying then they would just stop broadcasting that game and focus on the others they have. The reason why IGN is selling IPL is because they are doing terrible overall and need to sort out their business so they can become profitable again. | ||

There will be no "bw 2.0" because SC2 won't be as popular in SK like ever. SC2 was never as big as BW in SK. Koreans have the best taste when it comes to competitive gaming. | ||

That would be awesome imo. Blizz should rerelease BW as a free to play browser game with a fully functioning ladder system and improved netcode/latency. That would be the best for esports imo. Basically just give it the Quake Live treatment. | ||

Maybe you can read the bitterness between my words, but those tournaments promised us they wouldn't just become Koreans stomping on North Americans, that we would have a scene of our own like Korea and Europe have. What'd they do? NASL especially told us to fuck off within what, the first season? The posts on the front page of Mr. Chae buying IPL and making it a North American, GSL-esque tournament would be great. It'd be sad that it took a Korean business man to come in and do what American business men have promised us for three years, but it'd just prove that Mr. Chae knows what the fuck is going on and how to soothe my bleeding, rage-ridden nerd heart. | ||
