GOM director Oh Juyang and Mr Chae have joined AfreecaTV. While there is no announcement yet what this means exactly for Afreeca, this could be connected to rumors of Afreeca's intention to try and expand to the international market. It's currently unknown what roles they will play for the company, or what game they will focus on. GOM have yet to announce a replacement director.

BW leagues are already being produced by Hungry App and Sonic any ways already. But GOMTV did do a Brood War league back in 2014 though. Who knows, maybe GOMTV Season 5? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/2014_GOMTV_WeMakePrice_Classic_Season_4 | ||

Hopefully he's found a replacement or something before he left, because if he didn't, this move is highly irresponsible, simply leaving his job to join Afreeca for better payment or whatever reason he has for going. I think we should wait to see what Mr Chae has to say! | ||

채정원 안녕하세요. 채정원입니다. 기사가 떠서 많은 분들이 GSL에 대해 걱정하시는 것 같아 글 남깁니다. GOMEXP 에는 저 말고도 GSL을 위해 지금도 애쓰고 노력하시는 분들이 많고 앞으로도 GSL을 무리없이 진행할 수 있는 역량이 충분합니다. 현재 스타크래프트 2가 흥행의 반등 조짐도 있는데다, 시청수치도 나아지고 있으니 너무들 걱정하지 않으셔도 됩니다. GSL의 시작과 끝까지 함께하고 싶었지만 사정상 그러지 못하게 되어 저도 기분이 싱숭생숭합니다. 너무 무리한 추측이나 억측은 없었으면 좋겠어요 앞으로도 GOMEXP 의 무궁한 발전을 진심으로 기원하며 잘 해낼거라 믿습니다. 여러분들도 많이 응원해주세요! 감사합니다. Hi, everyone, this is Chae. I'm leaving this comment for that many people are worried about GSL. There are still many other staffs working hard for GSL on GOM EXP, and they can afford to carry on. Currently, SC2 looks rebounding, and viewership is getting better also, so you don't really need to worry too much. I wished to be with GSL until the end of it, but I am now leaving, so it feels a bit weird for me too. I wish there be no excessive assumptions or rumors. I sincerely wish GOM EXP to develop without limits, and believe they will do OK. You guys support them too, please! Thank you. | ||

Not sure what global Afreeca is, but if it's better than the Afreeca streams we have on TL, I'll be happy. I tried to watch SSL recently and it's was unwatchable, way too choppy and it kept buffering every 2-3 seconds, it was a pain. | ||

Even though some people might disagree with this impression i have It became quite clear how much he still loves BW when he started talking about how much he loved BW TvT during the Valentine's GSL cast. It's hard to compare passion levels and I feel he still has some left for SC2, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if BW will always be where his heart is truly at. OT: Looking forward to what will come of this. I was happy to read the number of viewers was climbing again, it really does feel like the Korean leagues (and SC2 in general) are here to stay for some time now. | ||

The preshow with him and the other Korean caster (I forgot the name now but he was really good with the analysis) back in 2011-2012 had some of the funniest moments. The Korean caster he was with was Engine, and you're right, that pre-show was hilarious. I loved when they intercepted players walking by and asked them dumb questions. Mr. Chae is awesome. | ||
