SPOTV or OGN?
Unannounced, but most likely SPOTV due to OGN being occupied with LoL and Worlds.

"Proleague Top 2 Players" is my favorite part. Also potential Flash/Jaedong thing that everyone will certainly be hoping for. ಥ⌣ಥ
Also, like, does this mean SC2 is doing kind of well in Korea? It's a lot of money to throw back in. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is this a big blow-out to try and get attention, or do they actually see it being worthwhile to even maybe continue yearly?

Awesome! :D Will top 2 proleague players be the players with most wins over all of the 4 rounds?
|
Omg this is awesome! ALIVE GAME!!!! :D

I think SC2 is definitely on the rise in Korea. If you look at the average size of the audience for Proleague now compared to this time a year ago, it's gotten much larger.

I my humble estimation and opinion I would say that with the new proleague having decent numbers and more fans showing up to the live events there's a good chance it's worth their while. And SC2 being the only major RTS game around in combination with the huge legacy? It would all but make sense.
