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. | ||

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

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. | ||

It is better even if you can not understand Korean. | ||

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. | ||
