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.

Seem's pretty shitty to use the same acronym as Sonics league after the success he's had with it. The acronym may have been thought up without realising originally, but I don't believe for a second that it got to this stage without someone noticing it.

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


Careful, picking up steam doesn't prevent it of derailing

Let's hope everything goes right and we can enjoy this year full of Korean Starcraft.

I don't watch any BW and even I know about Sonic's league, really sucks that they named it SSL too.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The SSL/SSL overlap is real.

edit: All the conflicts this acronym creates

Swedish Super League (thx Zealously ;_;)
Sonic Starleague
Secure Socket Layer (AFAIK something something security something something file transfer)
Solid-State Lighting
Solid State Logic
Stainless Steel
Space Sciences Laboratory
South Slavic
South Salt Lake
Single Straight Line
Samsung Super League (jumping competition)
Scientific Services Laboratory
Structure Surface Level (civil engineering)
Screen Script Language

This simply MUST be rectified.

The only way to ensure the name doesn't share an acronym with any other entity is to make it completely ridiculous.

Don't understand why so many ppl are upset here, that acronym thing is some minor problem which shouldn't create big confusion (just call it BW SSL and SC2 SSL), I'm totally glad BW fans and enthusiasts get to watch their favorite game in Korean TV again, will enjoy to watch some as well .

The addition of a second individual league in SC2 in Korea is a great thing as it will create more opportunities for players to show their skills AND we fans get to watch more highest-level SC2 (what I personally am totaly grateful for, this whole foreigner hyping isn't exactly my thing, I want to see the absolute best players have to offer)!!!

The SSL mixup would only really be an issue if both were on OGN, but Sonic Starleague is on OGN and this is on SpotTV so if they advertise it correctly which shouldn't be hard people should be smart enough to know the difference.

May both forms of Starcraft live on so the fans of each or both can continue to enjoy them!

People undersell the power of brand recognition; yes it does matter, alot infact, whether consumers will recognize your brand and develop loyalty to it. I tune in to watch HSC and IEM and DH with out looking at the player list because I have something I expect when I hear those names, and I'm sure thousands of people who just want to watch "the best gaming related content" of the weekend who aren't die hard followers of a specific game do the same. And those are the demographics brands are trying to cater to most of the time as well.

Funny when the "Star" from Starleague is actually Starcraft for short. It's for shame.

You're stupid.

No YOU'RE STUPID.

Strictly for the purposes of clarity, couldn't TL just make up a different acronym? Like S2L or something?
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

We are contemplating using different acronyms for clarity in the forums. However, we can't change what it's actually called.
