So does this mean that ladder rankings are actually going to matter? Also, will increased Blizz support bring tournament viewing prices down? They are too expensive for me to buy more than 1. I always have to miss out on either team league or GSL

The obvious deal that was sitting out there to be made was some sort of combination where the OSL and GSL "merge" into something that's basically an expanded GSL, while Proleague and GSTL "merge" into something that's basically an expanded Proleague. That would have created a good, unified, healthy scene. The fact that this deal is being made with OGN rather than with Kespa tells me either a) Blizzard and GOM are complete idiots or b) Kespa refuses to accept a future in which they don't have complete control over Proleague. The new unified team league would have had to have some meaningful control by ESF, or a new organization that replaced both ESF and Kespa and controlled both teams, or was controlled by a third party (Blizzard, OGN/GOM, etc.) that wasn't the same as any of the teams. It might be that Kespa is just too set in its ways to accept that. Maybe the goal here is to show Kespa the leverage the others have and force them to bargain.

The scene will be better if it's unified. Whether this is the best possible way to do it is something no one can know without having been in the negotiations personally.

I hope if there is to be no OSL separate from the GSL that seeds are done away with. It makes it feel more prestigious without giving seeds to people who do well in other tournaments. If there is to be but one league, I hope they make some changes.

That said, I'm curious what this change will be.

I think the community has all come together and decided that while the announcement was a massive collective disappointment, the game itself looks pretty neat.


On-topic, I'm hoping for a unified, Blizzard-backed league with an ongoing format similar to GSL, with broadcast times that make sense for every region. 9PM, S-TH, you get top tier SC2 no matter where you live. Fingers crossed :D

So Blizzard starts investing into esports. Kinda late to the party, but better late than never.

Also, I don´t think of a stronger presence of Blizzard as a bad thing for the market. It´s good that there´s someone who has an interest in SC2 beyond one´s own production.


I absolutely agree with this.
To be honest, I think the main problem with E-sports as opposed to other sports currently is that there is no international standard. Like, we have a national and european level of soccer unions who organize a highly professional league (the champion's league) that everyone considers to be the most important place for soccer teams to prove themselves.

We miss something like this for SC2, or games in general. Riot Games is a pioneer in this, and I suppose Blizzard should be too. Last year's Blizzard World Championship was a great example of how it should be organized (centralized), but there is still a lot of room for growth and improvement.

I hope this investment pays of in that direction.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

I like the idea of a consolidated league with both eSF and Kespa players.
Maybe theyre not including Proleague because of SpoTV?

Kespa may not die but they can drop SC2 any time they want.

isn't sc2 the only game kespa has at the moment anyway?
so if they drop sc2, by definition they die

Kespa manages dozens of "esports" games, not just sc2. It's associated with Minitry of Culture and Tourism and Olympic Committee, so it's technically a government agency and can't die.
Although Kespa manages dozens of games, they have hand-off policy on most of the games, and only care much about SC2.

I wish the people who know what's going on would either spit it out or stay quiet instead of teasing and making cryptic comments on reddit/twitter/TL -.-

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.
