SCHistorian: "KSL and Other Online Cups Saved GSL"

In my recent interview with Chickenman we spent a lot of time discussing the success of KSL and how the community rallied together to support the Korean scene when the GSL reductions were announced. Whether it was PiGsty, Wardi Korean Royale, or KSL, the community put it's money where it's mouth is and I think that is what got Afreeca's attention. I think it was much easier for crowdfunding to be considered when there were so many real world examples to point to.

Check out that conversation and more in Part 1 of a 2 Part interview with Chickenman here:

Well done. You make amazing content. Thank you for that. The online cups became popular during the Corona pandemic, and they created a scene that finally stands on its own. The Starcraft scene is amazing and something that truly requires a historian.
