Proleague is on OGN. It has been on OGN since forever, even including the SC2 SPL that has been going on. It currently just rotates between spotv and OGN, although Teamliquid is only allowed to list the English twitch.tv stream whenever it's on.
ah ic. i thought it went from rotation to full spotv.
The recent special event was only on SPOTV, but the reason given for that was that OGN was remodeling their studio for HD and such. I'm sure we'll learn more in 6 hours, though...

It has been on spotv more nowadays, but I expect it to be on OGN once they start playing after the current month-long break ends soon.

Back when we had the eSports transition conference, we had to rely on tweets from various journalists at the event (Teamliquid, esfiworld) for the trickle of information before the full article was released. I would expect Twitter to be an important source of information this time around, unless we get something more substantial.

Noticed that too after the first few play days, which is pretty lmao if you ask me. Good thing I have all the Korean outlets bookmarked because I like my options and heck I think a few people around here could use some Korean lessons.

I assure you only communities like our's care and these people already know where to look. I'm sure the Forbes, ESPN guys and some other outlets will write about it in their blog section. -.-

Hope this announcement turns out better than the last korean announcement with kespa/gom/blizzard. Remember that announcement? All those feels about kespa/gom working together for the betterment of esports and sc2 in korea. We all know how that turned out. Kespa and Gom trying to kill each other behind the scenes and them hating each other's guts.
But I'm surprised Blizz + a bunch of leagues and TVs would not have broadcast it themselves. Lol, imagine 50k viewers of Live On Three.
I'm fairly sure that Slasher is not in Korea, and Lo3 will only cover the event remotely.
Oh, I thought he was reporting with video from the place. Hm, well, it's gonna be good old twitter mostly then.
Given that it seems like everyone working full time in esports already knows this information, I would certainly expect Blizzard and/or Gom and/or TL and/or... everyone... to have a written explanation of things ready to post at the same time as the announcement. I guess it's possible many of them don't know enough details or something, but if I have to read random little bits of info off of twitter feeds, I'm going to be disappointed.

Get pumped people, this is going to be good. Fingers crossed for an NA GSL.

Almost suffocated on my drink. Good one mate :D
I demand that all pro-gamers move to California, Blizzard build a studio with the help of IPL and NASL, and they give us the tournament we all really want. If that happens, you heard it here first.
Yo guys, blizzard is clearly making their version of the International to happen right before blizzcon, with foreigner strength increased by blizzard sponsoring two full time pro team+houses Riot style. I mean, if one thing works for LoL, and the other for Dota, might as well combine both right?
