The Invitation sent to e-sports journalists:
"Hello, Blizzard Entertainment prepared a place for a new leap of SC2 e-sport with you journalists, and Mike Morhaim, the CEO of Blizz. will also visit Korea. Revealing the new direction, we invite you to make the environment that everyone goes together. Please come and give us some cheer. Thank you."

-------------------------------------------------

(from source 1)
스타크래프트2를 개발, 서비스 중인 블리자드 엔터테인먼트 코리아(이하 블리자드)는 2013년 4월 3일 스타크래프트2 e스포츠를 새롭게 도약할 자리를 마련했다고 알렸다. 또한, 이를 위해 마이크 모하임 블리자드 CEO 역시 한국에 방문하여 행사에 참석할 것으로 밝혀졌다.

블리자드는 행사 초대장을 통해 이 날 행사에서 'e스포츠의 새로운 방향 제시와 함께 모두가 함께하는 스타크래프트2 e스포츠 환경을 만들겠다'라고 언급했다. 행사 당일 마이크 모하임 CEO가 스타크래프트2 리그 관련 발표를 할 것으로 추측되는 가운데 과연 어떠한 내용이 알려질지는 아직 미지수인 상황이다.

Blizzard Ent. announced that they arranged an event for another leap for SC 2 E-sports scene, and also Mike Morhaim, the Blizz. CEO will attend.

Blizz. mentioned that "We will present the new path for E-sports and make the SC 2 Environment that everyone goes together" through the invitation. It is easily guessed that Blizz. will make an announcement about SC 2 leagues. However, it's hard to guess what it will be about.



(from source 2)

25일 국내 e스포츠계 관계자들에 따르면 블리자드는 한국에서 열리는 스타크래프트2 개인리그와 팀 단위 리그에 대한 '조정' 계획을 수립하고 게임방송사 및 한국e스포츠협회와 협상을 진행해 온 것으로 밝혀졌다.

It was told that Blizzard Ent. has been adjusting both individual and team leagues in Korea and negotiating with KeSPA and Broadcast companies.


블리자드의 '조정' 대상은 스타2 자유의 날개 버전으로 진행돼 왔던 리그다. 온게임넷의 스타리그와 그래텍의 GSL, GSTL, 한국e스포츠협회의 프로리그 등이다. 스타리그는 지난해 11월 옥션 올킬 스타리그 결승전을 마친 뒤 자유의 날개 버전의 대회를 진행하지 않고 있고 프로리그는 지난 5일을 끝으로 자유의 날개 버전으로는 더 이상 대회를 열지 않을 계획이다.

The objects being adjusted are all the leagues held with WOL. GSL, GSTL, Proleague, and OSL are included. OSL hasn't been held after the Auction All Kill OSL, and Proleauge will not be played in WOL anymore, either.


-ellipsis- (The article basically talks about transitioning into HoTS, etc...)


실제로 e스포츠 방송 관계자에 따르면 블리자드는 이미 오래전부터 스타2 개인리그 통합을 시도해 온 것으로 보인다. 온게임넷과 그래텍이 각각 진행해 왔던 개인리그를 블리자드 브랜드로 통합 운영하겠다는 발상이다.

Actually, according to a person concerned to E-sports broadcast, Blizz. has been trying the consolidation of SC 2 individual leagues. The Idea to operating brands OGN and Gretech have been taking care of together.

-ellipsis- (Gretech has given all the rights as the host to the Blizz., but hasn't OGN.)

하지만 스타2 마케팅 자금을 앞세운 블리자드의 공세에 온게임넷은 스스로 주관방송사로의 길을 택할 것으로 보인다. 이 회사의 경우 개인리그 주최권 포기를 전제로 블리자드 측에 수십억원의 비용을 요구한 것으로 알려지고 있으며, 블리자드가 이를 수용해 연간 20억원에 달하는 비용을 지원할 것으로 알려지고 있다.

However, with a persuasion of Blizz. with much money, OGN will also take a choice to be a supervision broadcast company (just like Gretech). OGN demanded billions won ( which is like millions dollars in USD), and it was told taht BLizz will support OGN with 2 billion won a year( which is 1.8 million USD)


주목할 만한 점은 블리자드의 리그 구조 개편을 위한 자금 지원 계획에 한국e스포츠협회는 배제돼 있다는 점이다. 블리자드는 온게임넷 하나에만 수십억원을 쏟아 부을 계획이지만 프로리그를 진행하고 있는 협회에는 그에 상응하는 지원책이 없는 것으로 드러났다.

It's noticeable that Blizz. is completely excluding KeSPA and the Proleauge. It was revealed that there is no plan to support Proleauge while Blizz. is investing billions won just for only OGN.




(from source 3)

스타크래프트2:군단의 심장(이하 군단의 심장)이 출시된지 2주째를 맞는 가운데 블리자드 엔터테인먼트가 준비하고 있는 새 판짜기의 모델이 라이엇게임즈의 리그 오브 레전드와 유사하다는 업계의 반응이 나오고 있다.

It has been told that the new e-sports model Blizz. is preparing is as same as the Riot's League of Legends's model.

블리자드가 준비하는 모델은 개인리그를 통합하면서 블리자드가 리그를 모두 관장하는 방식이다. 기존 스타2 리그에서 양분됐던 온게임넷과 그래텍의 리그를 하나로 합치겠다는 뜻이다. 물론 스타리그와 GSL이라는 브랜드는 유지될 것으로 알려졌지만 사실상 블리자드가 개인리그를 통합하는 것이나 다름 없다.

What Blizz. is presenting is a mdel with one integrated individual league.(translator: This just means intergrating GSL and OSL, not the other leagues outside of Korea, like mlg or DH.) It's meant to combine OSL and GSL. Ofcourse, it was known that the brand of GSL and OSL will keep existing, but it's not different to that Blizz. is combining into one.

스타리그와 GSL를 통합해 블리자드가 지휘한다면 글로벌 파이널인 월드 챔피언십에 파견할 선수를 구성하기가 쉬워진다. 블리자드는 2012년 월드 챔피언십을 진행하는 과정에서 선수 선발전을 예선을 통해 따로 치렀지만 큰 효과를 보지 못했다. 팬들이 출전을 원했던 강호들이 국내 예선 과정에서 줄줄이 떨어지면서 기대를 키우지 못한 것. 한국 대표로 나선 선수들이 아시아 대표로 대거 뽑혔고 1위부터 3위를 싹쓸이하기는 했지만 임팩트가 크지 않았다.

If OSL and GSL become together, it will be easier to make up the list of players for the WCS. Blizz. had national and Continental preliminaries, but they wre not effective. Many popular and storng players were dropped out through the Korean national preliminary. Even thought most of Korean Players went to the Grand Finals through the Asian preliminaries, but there wasn't a big impact. (translator: I have no idea what this guy is intended to say with the last sentence.)

블리자드가 개인리그를 통합 운영하게 되면 각 시즌별 우승자를 포함한 상위 입상자가 해당 포인트를 확보하게 되며 최종 한국 대표 선발전에서 시드를 배정받는다든지, 직행 출전권을 얻게 된다. 선수들은 2013년 내내 최고의 경기력을 유지하려고 노력하게 될 것이며 향후 국가 대표를 뽑았을 때에도 팬들의 기대감을 끌어 모을 수 있다.

If Blizzard runs the new combined league, The seasonal top players will receive "points", and it might be used to get seeds to be the Korean or Asian representative players for WCS. Players will try to maintain their plays to be the best the whole seasons of 2013, and the representative players get more attention of the fans.


-ellipsis- (The rest of the aricle is basically how this is similar to Riot's policy, and the advantages and the disadvantages.)



Summary of the article from the source 4:
1. GSL and OSL will not die
2. GSL and OSL share the seeds(GSL seeds from OSL and OSL seeds from GSL)
3. KeSPA excluded from the support
4. Blizz. insists:
-The amounts of moneys are wrong
-The league changes are the results of agreements between OGN, Gretech, and Kespa, and Blizz. (I assume that ESF was not in the list because Gretech is the head of ESF)
-The plans were to make leagues more clear, so they feel frustrated for all the misunderstandings.
-There will be consistent discuss about team leagues
5. So, Blizz. wants all the fans to wait for the "announcement" on April 3rd.


(from source 5: KeSPA's announcement)

한국e스포츠협회와 블리자드는 <스타크래프트2: 군단의 심장> 출시와 더불어 국내 개인리그 활성화와 프로리그 글로벌화, 아마추어 저변 및 발전에 함께 노력하기로 하고, 앞으로 국내외에서의 파트너십을 강화하기로 협의하였습니다.

With the release of HoTS, KeSPA and Blizzard agreed to cooperate for the activation of individual leagues, the globalization of Proleague, and the enlargement of amateur leagues and to make the partnership stronger.

한국e스포츠협회와 블리자드를 비롯한 e스포츠 각 주체들은 과거와 같은 반목과 갈등은 e스포츠 발전에 도움이 되지 않으며, 팬들과 e스포츠 관계자들의 시름만 크게 하는 것이고, 산업의 발전 저해만 가져온다고 판단하였고, 앞으로 개인리그는 개인리그대로, 프로리그는 프로리그대로 함께 또 따로 활성화하고 글로벌화 하는 것에 협력해 나가기로 했습니다.

We judged taht the antagonism of E-sports subjects including KeSPA and Blizz. just disturbs the development of E-sports, hurts the fans, and bring up the inhibition of the development of the production. Therefore, we agreed about them.

또한 한국e스포츠협회와 블리자드는 협회 소속 프로게임단과 소속 선수들의 안정적인 팀 운영과 대회 참여를 위해 상호 노력하고 협력하고 있으며, 프로리그를 만들어낸 한국e스포츠 역량과 인프라는 미국을 비롯한 글로벌 파트에도 적용될 수 있도록 함께 노력하고 협력해 나갈 것 입니다.

Also, we are trying for the stable operation and the league participation of the teams under KeSPA, and we will cooperate to let our ability and Infrastructure ,which has developed Korean scene, help the global parts, including the US.

특정 언론이 특정보도를 통해 사실인양 보도하고 있는 “20억, 3억”과 같은 계약관계는 진실에 기초하지 않은 잘못된 기사 입니다. e스포츠 주체들이 함께 또 따로 진행해 나가는 대회에 대해서는 4월 3일 블리자드 글로벌 행사를 통해 자세한 내용을 충분히 설명드릴 것 입니다.

The article of a certain press that talks about contracts of 2 billion won or 0.3 billion won has nothing to believe. We will explain about the details on the global event at April third.

진실에 기초하지 않은 잘못된 기사로 협회와 블리자드, e스포츠주체들이 다시금 반목, 갈등하는 모습으로 e스포츠 팬들에게 비추어지는 것에 깊은 유감을 표시합니다.

Once again we are sorry for that it has been shown like we are having conflicts.

한국e스포츠협회는 앞으로도 프로게임단의 발전적 팀 운영과 프로선수들의 안정적 선수생활을 위해 최선의 노력을 다할 것이며, e스포츠 발전에 함께하는 구성원, 팬들과 더 깊이 또 충실하게 소통해 나갈 것입니다.

We will try our best for the stable environment for the players and always communicate with other organizations and people in the E-sports scene and fans.

-------------------------------------------

Conclusion and summary:
1. Blizz. will make OSL and GSL more combined in some ways.
2. All the rights about OSL will be Blizzard's as the case of GSL.
3. Blizz. will support OGN around 1.8 M USD a year for this. (just as they were supporting GSL) (Blizz. denied about the amount)
4. Kespa and Proleauges are not the objects to be affected.
5. The details will be announced at April 3rd, 2013 ( which is a day before GSL starts)
6. Kespa actually get some money too. (0.3 B Won = 0.27 M USD) (see right below)

-----------------------------------------------

Rumors in Korean SC 2 communities (Rumors are just rumors, but the ideas were quite interesting.)

1. The two code S seeds are Rain (as announced before) and Last, because they were two of the best four players in the last OGN.

2. The reason for their seeds are either because there will be no Starleague anymore, or simply the unity between GSL and OSL will be stronger.

3. GSL might become the only one individual league in Korea, and it will be broadcast on both GOM TV and OGN.

4. GSL may change its name ( like Blizzard Starcraft 2 League or etc.)

5. Blizz. is planning to make SC2 leagues like LOL Championship by giving some points for winners of tournaments and maybe regulating players by their regions.

6. The next OSL will not be held. ( The reason people think like this is basically OGN hasn't announced any schedule of OSL while all other broadcast schedules were announced, and their schedule is basically full for most of days: (Monday: LoL show of Kim Carry, Tuesday: Psipers League, Wednesday: LoL Champ, Thursday: empty, Friday: LoL Champ, Saturday: Proleague and LoL Champ, Sunday: Proleague.) Considering that OSL used to spend 2 nights every week, there is no space for OSL currently.)

7. Many concerned people knew about it, and there was a kind of embargoes on it(official or unofficial), but DES broke it to show the anger of KeSPA. (It was known that DES and KeSPA are in a very close relation.)

8. OGN may offer a short tornouments for LOL and SC2 just like MLG in Korea instead of "straleague". (This is more a wish of fans than a rumor though)

Well GSL/OSL have overlapping players, so not sure if it makes much sense, but a Pro-league/GSTL partnership would be huge.

Sundance has said something about something to replace the open bracket at MLG.

Probably a cohesive region based league system?

i personally feel the presence of the million dollar tournaments that valve and riot hold aren't really too good for the scene... imo it's much better to have more spread out, smaller tournaments. with million dollar tourneys, all the hype/training goes towards one single event each year and it's not surprising that teams disband and stuff afterwards. way too top heavy imo, i quite enjoyed the WCS (even though i would have liked even more spread)

edit: ooh OP delivers with new info, interesting

Maybe this will answer why Rain got the seed, why MLG is getting rid of open bracket, and a plethora of other mysteries.

IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER NOW.

It's basically about a prediction about the end of GSL and Starleaue era. Just translating the details.

I just hope it is entirely good news. I'm constantly paranoid that Proleague will decide they aren't getting the views they need and pull out of SC2. Still everything sounds good so far.

yeah but if you look at The International so many teams disband after it and teams like Navi are accused of only trying when that time of the year comes around.

I like our format more.

Apparently OGN is getting paid by Blizzard to broadcast the league under Blizzard's name. OGN has nothing to lose here but KeSPA will take a big hit. I don't know how Proleague can continue without OGN's support, and pretty much all of e-sports in Korea is LoL and SC2. KeSPA doesn't control LoL league and if they lose control of SC2 as well, they're in deep trouble. I dislike this move by Blizzard, it just reminds me what they did to destroy BW in Korea. Now they're going to destroy an organization that pretty much made e-sports happen in Korea. Even though many people dislike KeSPA's practices, you have to admit that they were very effective in getting the job done, which was to stabilize the e-sports industry in Korea.

The last line of DES's article also says that the KeSPA teams are already showing disapproval since Blizzard shows a lack of care for Proleague and they see no reason to send their players to a league sponsored by the organization that shows such a lack of care for KeSPA and its teams that worked so hard to develop the players.
