No BW bashing. No SC2 bashing. This should be obvious. While it's okay to be upset, let's not start that hopeless argument again.

...

really?

Did you not just complain for 2 pages about how they should change the name? Did you just hit a moment of clarity or a pipe?

they should change the name, I absolutely believe that they should, but I don't think the reason for picking the name in the first place is out of spite.

lmao

SPOTV isn't even calling its own league SSL. Just "Starcraft II Starleague". SSL is just some acronym that lichter made up to make typing it out easier, and you guys are getting wound up over nothing.

On the other hand, Sonic actually uses the SSL acronym, so yea. But even then, Sonic didn't start using the SSL acronym himself until the 8th season or so .. SSL was something I coined (because typing out SonicTV BJ Starleague is dumb, and didn't fit in the calender), and it ended up sticking.

actually, I'm wrong lol

why the acronyms wouldn't be the same if it's about different games. you could even guess how much proleagues are there. btw, gsl is actually garena starleague @ league of legends.

the thing i really wonder is why thursday is empty while wednesday both SPOTV SL and GSL are played.


Yeah, surely it's in their mutual interest to not go head to head, let alone for us watching, unless SPOTV are making a statement that they can challenge GOM for sole ownership of the Korean scene

I believe they could, but I doubt that's what is going to happen.

Given all the rumours about GOM's financial state at the moment, that's what made me question it. Purely a guess trying to understand their thinking.

I hope that it's not going to happen, because a more diverse scene is better for everyone, but there's got to be a reason for the competitive scheduling. Surely they're not that incompetent that they didn't realise GSL is on Wednesdays...

god damn it lichter.

actually, upon further investigation, it appears I am wrong. In all of the links provided by lichter, I could not find a single reference to "SSL", but upon searching for other articles about this, I see a couple of sources referring to the "SSL" acronym. My bad .. kind of weird how all the articles linked in OP managed to not reference that though.

I've made it clear that I don't read Korean. So I saw it on some sites and figured that was actually what they were abbreviating it to.

Damn, that's either disrespect or ignorance, but pretty bad in any case.

Also, overlapping schedules, yay! There's potential for drama...

Ok yeah so the similar acronym thing is weird and bad and they ought to come up with a more interesting name and they ought to not overlap their broadcast dates, but let's focus on the big picture here

Proleague is coming. A second major Korean SC2 league is coming. The hype train I've boarded is picking up too much steam to be derailed by these relatively minor concerns
