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

Copy/Paste with small additions.

Enjoyed it back in the days, so credit for that and every nice moment.

This is great, but I can't help feeling sad nonetheless. Thank you GOM for these years!

I'll miss GOM so much, they were responsible for my amazing 2010-2011 SC2 memories.

Hey anyone from GOM reading this, you're missing every GSL from January 2011-May 2011 including the first 3 GSTLs and the World Championship. Can you guys upload that before the end?

Crazy news. I'll probably still casts the BW games even if an English cast is announced. KSL games are too fun not to commentate.

While this is quite sad, the post itself was nothing but joy. Great stuff.

Kind of sad about this, but we could see it happening from a long time before this point.

I was super into SC2 from beta till maybe 2012. Kinda dropped off but turned on GSL tonight after seeing it was on and being up. Didn't even know it would be. Kinda surreal to me that GOM is over - lot of fun hours spent watching it all through college. Thanks for everything GOM~

Yea I echo this.

While I wasn't a fan of the low res broadcast and how they ran things they put on a lot of great sc2 broadcasts. Kinda bummed to see it not be profitable for them.

Thanks for the starcraft GOM.

Hope it's profitable for Afreeca, and yes I would very much like english casting! Same guys from gom pls, and force Kalhdor to come back.
