I bought the $5 HD pass last year without much of a thought, if it's a similar price I'd definitely buy. EDIT: Sorry to drag this off-topic, I meant this to be about supporting PL. The twitch channel says I'm still subscribed but iirc last year was a one time payment and I haven't been charged again? The subs from last year still stand, but there is nothing special for them - basically everything is free now. | ||

Is there anything foreigners can do to support PL then? I watch VODs but if I'm not getting any ads since I'm subscribed from last year I'm not sure how that helps then haha. Thank you! | ||

GIEV KT JACKET PLZ Considering how the sales of Ronaldo's Real Madrid shirt got them enough money to cover his transfer costs I'm amazed it's so hard to get some damn eSports clothing. We have TL doing it and some other teams but for the Korean teams it's so hard to get any merchandise. I really think they're dropping the ball here. Besides income it's one of the best "free" marketing when people are walking around in eSports jackets or something like that considering you're actually selling the stuff. | ||

But of course we would want to pay extra to support the proleague. Maybe they should accept donations or sell merchandises? I'm very sure selling team jackets can earn lots of money, especially if they manage to handle overseas transaction and ship them overseas. Also, I feel that proleague is basically the last life line for Korea SCII scene now. GSL itself isn't really going to cut it. Even better if SpoTV makes their own individual league, which will help korean scene further. Also to mention that SpoTV also has its own TV station unlike GomTV, and that itself might help a lot in drawing in old and new fans in alike. | ||

Business-wise, SpoTV and GOM needs to partner up to broadcast GSL on SpoTV in order to reach a larger audience. | ||

Startale and the rest of eSF teams join Proleague. Proleague is run by SpoTV, broadcasted by SpoTV, casted by casters from GomTV for both English and Korean (I watched the Korean stream and seems like they don't like the new korean casters due to inexperience). GomTV runs GSL, SpoTV helps broadcast it within Korea, through both youtube, Korean websites and streaming sites like afreeca and naver, and also through TV. Also, SpoTV running their own individual league once in a while will also help korean scene a lot more. The only problem is I see very small chance of this happening. | ||

They are former MBC guys + Canata. And they already did last year of SC2 Proleague. Lack of experience is the last thing you can say abou them. | ||

Is this another one of your passive aggressive shots at SC2? Most businesses don't make decisions based off of faith and putting out a press release explaining the delay of proleague isn't a bad thing. Thanks to this letter, I caught a couple games this morning while cleaning up the house. | ||

If the Korean fans are anything like the foreign fans when it comes to appreciation of casting, I don't think it matters who's casting because some people will hate it anyway | ||
