Well, kind of foreseeable given the way things were trending, but still...you have to remember that back in the heyday of WoL, when GOM was the only game in town, they really put their stamp on SC esports. Everything from the music, the staff (Mr. Chae, Tastetosis, John the translator), the format (Code A tournament, anyone?), the GOM player itself, the GSTL, the Code S ro16 selection ceremonies...they were the ones who directly took the inspiration from the BW leagues and molded it into SC2 as an esport

Thank you GOMTv for making Esport, and especially SC2 a thing all over the World. It would not have been without GSL Open Seasons with insane Casting, Production Value and Prize Money. Bow down filthy moba Plebs for SC2 and GOMtv have laid the foundation of your success.

I welcome our new Afreecaa Overlords, may they live long and prosper.

This thread title has such a negative ring to it when in fact it might be a great thing. Perhaps consider adding some words to the title!

Goodbye GomTV. You probably gave me more hours of enjoyment than any other production house combined. Will miss you, but luckily your spirit will live on in AfreecaTV!

More importantly, will there be English casting for Nada's wedding?

I've heard this will happen at the KR LOTV launch event (unless I misunderstood), but if so I assume there will be =p

When Nada said that he will become entartainer on afreeca... I didn't expect him to stream his fucking wedding :D That is nuts. Well, at least we will see how a korean wedding looks like.

About the rest. It's sad that GOM is gone, but I will lie, if I say, that I'm not happy about the 1080p quality. Watching Starcraft in poor quality was just torture.

We probably won't get to see Crank and Olimoley's wedding, so this is the next best thing.

sad to see GOM go, they always looked so forthcoming towards fans in the studio and online.

I'm hyped for the next season of GSL though as well as the tie breaker match. really dont care about the BW news but to each their own.

Does anyone know what will happen to the casters? Both Tasteosis and the Korean trio JYP, Gisado, and Mr. Park? I seriously hope they don't grab new casters. I love the current casting people, and it would be a shame for it to change simply because the title has gone from Gom to Afreeca.
