Regarding WCS S2 Ro32 bo1 games: we know the concerns, but it can't be modified now for logistical reasons. Thank you for understanding #WCS

Hey guys

I know there's been a lot of talk about this. Let me just address a few points.

In general As many are pointing out, we are keeping true to the past OSL formats. There are arguments for uniformity as now we are in the era of WCS, and this is duly noted. We, and I am sure other parties as well, will be monitoring things this year to see what to conform and why.

However, for the time being, the situation has allowed us to keep our character, and as we venture into the new WCS with excitement, we're very thankful we can keep that. It may not be for everyone, and it may not be a good fit for SC2 or be changed in the future, but we want to see how it works out before jumping to changes.

GomTV has been successful with their formula for the GSL, and all the props to them for that. I just hope OGN will also be given a chance to stick to what we've done successfully before finalizing any modifications (and hopefully improvements).

We hope you understand and appreciate your patience.

Regarding the Ro32: Yes, we understand the concerns. I do not think bo1's have no benefits, but your concerns are valid. I will admit though, currently we are not putting much time or effort into changing it immediately. This is because, even if we wanted to, the logistics are not feasible for this season. I'm not guaranteeing that it will change in the future, just want to admit that right now given the feasibility of things, we aren't focusing on changing the content, but how to better present that content. Throughout all this, we will definitely be monitoring all aspects, and I think it's safe to say that all the parties involved in the WCS will see vast improvement over the year/next year.

Thanks for chiming in. We're listening, you can trust me on that one.
