Mr. Chae left GOM because he got a better offer from Afreeca, who are currently trying to expand to the western market.

As for Sonic, there's a phrase I remember Destiny saying on one of the last (possibly the last?) episode of Unfiltered, where he said that he believes esports are sustainable when someone comes in not for passion, but only for profit, and he can leave satisfied. This is one of those rare occasions where he said something that made sense. We know where Sonic started making his venture into esports. We know where he expended most of his energy. If he's coming on board, I believe Korean SC2 may be coming to that point of clear sustainability.

Isn't Sonic the prime example of someone coming in primarily for passion and not for profit?

Not in SC2, he isn't. Far from it.


How so?

I haven't seen him say a lot of negative stuff about SCII, maybe he is like many people me included that enjoy both BW and SCII (and maybe like one more game, BW more than the other), the fact that he is super passionate and loves BroodWar, and singlehandedly kept it alive till OGN picked it up again, doesn't mean that he somehow hates/dislikes SC2.

Unless you have an interview of him (more recently, because the game has changed a lot from dreadful WoL days where I can easily imagine people like him saying some really negative stuff about the game) saying he doesn't like it/finds it shit or whatever, then thats all speculation without any actual reason,,,
My heroes: Jangbi, Bisu, Stork and BeSt for BW, Rain, Zest and Stats for SC2! Need a better Signature tbh...

So because he's a dedicated BW fan he's not allowed to also enjoy SC2?


According to the Brood War forums, no.


I have to wonder how many people in the Brood War forums are having an aneurysm about this very announcement right now.


you think people care about SC2 in BW forums, they don't, they care if it affects BW in any way, which in this case it doesn't.

Are you guys really going to start a BW vs SC2 argument of some sorts again? In 2015? Good news is good news, don't bring unnecessary shit in there.

Fuck this is good news, I might not follow SC2 anymore, but it's really awesome to see Sonic branch out like this.

Sweet! Does that mean Hot6ix is no longer the main sponsor for GSL? Or is it just another sponsor for GSL?

And, hopefully this will mean that VODs will come out like SPL and SSL. I'm one of the fans who wants to subscribe but can't afford to, atm.


Hot6ix did not sponsor GSL last season. Their imagery and logos were no where to be found in studio. I was really surprised when the season started but I guess something happened. Source: I watch way too much GSL.

Sbenu will be the only (title) sponsor now, apart from Blizzard.

stealth edit: Make sure to tweet at them and thank them for sponsoring!
