Screencaps: DCinside StarCraft Gallery
Video: Youtube, (21:10)

The ending montage to the 2016 Proleague finals was interspersed with a series of cryptic text messages.

"We dreamed a dream."

"A dream full of hope."

"Sometimes we had regrets."

"But it was a happy dream."

"It's time now, to close..."

"...this midsummer's night dream."

"We'll wait."

"Until we can dream again."

Talk of StarCraft 2 Proleague ending after the 2016 season has been circulating behind the scenes for a few months now, and has spilled over onto Korean forums following media reports of Brood War HD.

It's about time. Maybe Brood War will replace it?

The dailygame news articles were pretty optimistic in a sense that they just assumed that there would be one next year. But who knows?

No more SC2 Proleague but BW HD PL ("It's time now, to close...")
KesPa already has a copy/screenshot of BW HD (Until we can dream again.")

Wouldn't be too surprising since even getting SKT to sponsor this year sounded difficult enough.

This doesn't actually sound that bad (unless a bit of meaning is lost in translation). But I have to admit I did get a feeling that that may be it.

But if there will be no Proleague then what's left...?

itll be interesting if BW makes a comeback. i have no interest in watching it personally, but it would probably create hype that would draw a lot of people in. the problem as i see it is that the BW fanbase would be eating itself inside out - there's almost no chance of drawing in viewers who weren't either around for BW or simply curious enough because of SC2, and that's a limited base. SC2 is fighting a losing battle against other esports, but it at least had its own modern appeal. no one from the current generation is going to want to sit down and watch a game that looks like BW unless the HD remaster is mindblowing

cue a thousand insane BW acolytes telling me how it's the greatest game ever and even in 500 years people will appreciate its beauty, but i'm talking about reality

I hope it just means the end of season rather than the end. If Proleague goes, unless GSL/SSL stay there's no reason to watch any more

to me, the somber tone is all too reminiscent of the text MBCgame sent out with their final montage before station closure :/

During closing moments of the tournament Wolf was really talking like it was the end of ends. Hope we will see another season.

I do still think there will be a SC2 Proleague in 2017. But I have serious doubts it can continue beyond 2017 due to player attrition from retirements. Unless the PL teams can find new blood and find it FAST, the korean SC2 scene's days are numbered.

That being said I also found the statements cryptic, not only at the end but also from Wolf during the last game, so who knows...

According to contract, SKT sponsorship ends this year; So, it is possible to interpret that message as "weneedasponsor."

They mean they're ending something, could be for this year could be forever. Who knows.
Most likely another year will depend on if they can get another sponsor.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Translated messages from Korean to English always sound cryptic to me. However I can't imagine a world without pro league. It was my favourite esport tournament for the past few years :/
