Sojung confirmed the information following the conclusion of the VANT Starleague finals. SBENU will be renamed to Afreeca freecs. Afreeca will also be forming a Hearthstone team and streaming two additional BW tournaments this year. The BW tournaments feature more English coverage than VANT.

That helped to heal the wounds of Bisu not winning, apparently he was super upset after the loss, and had to get dragged out of his booth for the winning cermony
My heroes: Jangbi, Bisu, Stork and BeSt for BW, Rain, Zest and Stats for SC2! Need a better Signature tbh...

Korean starleagues for 2016 going from 4 to 6 and a stable sponsor for StarTale that will compete in a 7 team proleague.

Great fucking news!

Thank you, Afreeca.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Afreeca the true banjos of Starcraft. Also this probably leads to the team playing Proleague and Proleague starting soon <3

Though it is full of pariah capitalism, I guarantee that Afreeca is quite solid.
