SPL 2014 was a success (right?), so I'm excited to see what SPOTV can bring to the table. Also, Korea has way too much talent but not enough tournaments to play in. I think this is great news.


I think the plan is to have 3 GSLs, 3 SPOTV tournaments, and 3 KesPA cups, so this should be the biggest year in Korean Starcraft since 2011 which had 7 GSLs and like 3 special events.

very excited for 2015

Can someone in Korea tell me what SPOTV is?

Is SPOTV on par with GomTV? Should we expect something epic like the MSL/OSL from SC1 or something less?


SPOTV is much bigger than GOMTV. SPOTV is one of the largest sports channels in Korea, similar to ESPN in the U.S. They have the broadcasting rights in Korea for the top sports leagues in the world, such as NBA and MLB, as well as the Korean sports leagues as well.

SPOTV has many different channels such as SPOTV2, similar to how ESPN has ESPN2 or ESPN U. SPOTV created a new channel SPOTV Games dedicated to e-Sports and they are now running multiple e-Sports leagues ranging from the most competitive game titles such as StarCraft 2 and Dota 2 as well as games like Cart Rider.

Is sc2 in Korea having another golden age? All we need is a foreigner to make it into the round of 32 like Jinro and Idra did in the past and we would all be set.

It depends on what you are comparing. OGN doesn't hold a candle to the entire SPOTV organizations. But at the same time OGN is owned by CJ, one of the largest companies in Korea, and CJ is bigger than SPOTV.

Am I crazy or does the OP say that qualifiers are bo5 while groups are bo3? That's... not... standard... right? I'm not complaining or anything. But challenger is usually bo3, right?

If this is right, that means we can expect even more consistency out of who gets into ro16.

It appears to me that Challenger is just 1 Bo5, like WCS AM/EU, and not an Up/Downs group thing. So Bo5 makes sense.

Meh, with all due respect, from their English proleague broadcasts their production values has been subpar but hopefully they'll pick it up. If they're really the ESPN of Korea they should be able to dedicate more resources to this, but PL honestly looked like an amateur production when they did it. Quite a drop off in quality from what I was used to with OGN. But maybe they just didn't want to dedicate too much resources to an English broadcast which could be temporary.

Previously if a foreigner had been approved to join GSL, they would have a free spot in Code A and also live in the GomTV house.

Try the Korean stream. It is better even if you can not understand Korean.

I really do hope they SPOTV league offer a different experience than GSL with new format & maps. However under the WCS banner, maybe it's just more of the same

with all due respect, OGN's production looks like the real ESPN while SPOTV's one is like random local channel which broadcasts sport twice per year

SPOTV has made a lot of improvements from their 2012-2013 season of Proleague. Please keep in mind that this season it was only their 2nd year and are continuously working on improving their broadcasts.
