6 is Brood War, 8 is WC3

KESPA should just bring back BW in conjunction with SC2. 
Once Flash gets better, he can be #1 in two games. lol
Anyway, regardless of the reason behind it, I am glad for Team 8's sponsorship.

JinAir (and by extension Korean Air) delivers yet again.
Too bad they didn't decide to step in the BW times

Removing the shield will do the trick for signature icon. I figure the butterfly symbol could be preserved too:

Woo! Great news!
Hopefully they'll be able to afford a few more players so the core players can have more practice partners to help them with builds and preparations.
It's going to be weird calling them the Green Wings. I've gotten so used to calling them Team 8. =( I imagine it'll be a little like Losira --> Kangho.
And I'm still calling him Losira.
I'm sure I'll come around eventually like I did with Bogus. =P

What about stream numbers?

Excellent news! Congratz to them (especially getting rid of that silly Team 8 name)
Sad but expected to see this thread being mainly about the same "Lol vs SC2", "with BW this would not have happened" and "SC2 is dead" non-sense. Ah well, some things never change.

Dota2 hasn't been released in Korea yet. To play Dota2 in Korea, you still have to play through Steam, so PC bang don't have it. Nexon will make a standalone client later.

I actually stopped taking the PC Bang data seriously after like 2011, South Korea has a stable and developed Internet environment, arguably one of the best in the world, the reason people now play in PC Bang is that they want to play with friends, that's one of the reasons LoL places #1, but with more and more players play at home, plus SC2 isn't really a play-with-your-friends game, it's low presence in PC Bangs is not a surprise. I remember there was a thread talking about a more general video game data in Korea, SC2 is steadily placed in the top 10, the streamer data from Afreeca supports this.
