It is not "shifted" - it`s expanded.

Awesome, look forward to seeing that roster.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Is there any chance that having a competing sponsor might cause issues for MVP in terms of participating in SSL? I know that OGN and MBC got along well enough, but these are two different companies...

I don't think so, CJ Entus players have some OGN patches on their shirts.

interesting that a new broadcasting company sponsors MVP after hearing rumors of another Korean league next year

EDIT: For those wondering the rumor is in reference to something Catz said in this video at around 29:20

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing more matches with MVP next Proleague season.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

CJ E&M own OGN which is why.
Competiting cable channels haven't stopped teams from appearing on other channels. Only time that this was a problem was GOMTV and its Classic tournament, but that was more because it wasn't KeSPA sanctioned.

If they're getting into LoL, does that mean they're dropping their teams in the other Mobas? Doesn't Kespa have a thing about that?

I don't think that's a rule. MVP just happens to be the only Kespa team to branch outside of the Starcrafts/LoL.

That being said, I'm glad we're getting title sponsors now. I felt the new Kespa teams lacked legitmacy because they haven't secured those big sponsors yet. We kinda had LG-IM but that ended up being the saddest story on the planet.

We had Team 8-> Jinair quite some time ago and Startale into Sbenu recently. Hopefully more teams can secure themselves big sponsors soon.
