It's easier to outsource the streaming to other companies and to get new teams by opening the league rather than founding Team9. To me it reveals the decline of south korean sc2. Decline implies there ever was a peak. | ||

That's for sure, the only place sc2 is hot is Europe. I feel LoL is rescuing sc2 in Korea right now. | ||

They were only ever useful labels for those who preferred GSL`s 1st generation players/teams (ESF) or those who followed the BW stars (Kespa). I don`t think many rooted for the governing organisations themselves. It`s all pretty mixed now anyway so this move should be good to bring the korean scene under 1 roof. | ||

Kespa`s not a broadcaster and have always outsourced/used partners, like OGN, MBC, SPOtv and GOM. New teams with actual sponsors are also better than running another version of T8 out of existing sponsor`s pockets. Making up crap just to fit with your doomsday perspective doesn`t make it true. | ||

Basically KeSPA when it was originally founded had the goal of unifying and supporting the eSports scene in all of South Korea, and providing fair opportunities to pro gamers as well as protecting their interests. When KeSPA became stubborn and refused to recognize SC2 and other titles as eSports then they failed in their original goals, they stopped serving the people and where serving their own interests. The joining fee also didn't help one damn bit. This new move meant to return KeSPA to its original goal of serving the people, protecting and supporting the players, the teams and the sponsoring companies. KeSPA doesn't lose much of its regulating power, its just that now all eSports teams in South Korea can join it and have a say in the decisions being made. This does however mean that the eSF in its current iteration no longer makes sense to exist, when all the GSTL teams and GOM join KeSPA then they will become part of it and will be involved in the decisions, so the need for eSF becomes null, but the interests of GOM and the current eSF are still being protected, which is a good thing. This overall is just great news, its a shinning step forward for Korea and, again is one of the reasons why they are still vastly ahead of the westerners in terms of acceptance and support for eSports. | ||

I feel GOM brings the most solid and consistent stream in SC2, I wouldn't want to see that disappear. GOM's production definitely wouldn't disappear under the structural changes. What you have to understand is that guys like OGN, GOMTV etc. are primarily broadcasting organisations, unlike Kespa which is basically a e-sports governing body. Kespa will be working in tandem with broadcasters. | ||
