"According to the announcement made by AfreecaTV and Gretech, The two companies have signed a contract to transfer GomeXP Studio`s installation and equipment.

Still, it is not confirmed whether GomeXP`s employees transfer or not; however, the persons concerned predict AfreecaTV to hire core personnel away from GOMeXP, considering the need of skilled personnel.


...Gretech says this won`t affect any GomeXP leagues, noting that they will still use the place by borrowing it from AfreecaTV."

Though there have always been voices that worry Gretech`s financial state, this sounds especially critical to me because it is something like 'a landlord sells his house and become a tenant in the very house.'

This is abnormal

I will wait for the translation, but if this is true it could be pretty big news. Not sure how I feel about it.
Don't mind me

From what I understand Gretech (the company behind GOM) is still leasing the studio from Afreeca.

Worth noting that Afreeca hired away Mr. Oh Joo Yang (the top behind-the-scenes man) and Mr. Chae from GomEXP earlier this year. The ZDnet article states that Mr. Oh was said to be involved in a lot of talks with GomEXP in the weeks leading up to this studio acquisition..

It really feels like Gom is having trouble financially which is why they're giving up on their ownership of their own studio...

So, what happens to the future of the GSL? Isn't it required to be broadcasted to twitch.tv?

Considering how popular BW is on Afreeca, maybe this means more organised BW?!?

Would be amazing

What does Afreeca do besides streaming services? I assume it is a small portion of some Korean Megaconglomerate.
