It took many of us a long time to come to terms with the loss of MBCGame, which was announced would transition into a music channel at the end of this month. With a rich decade long history, MBCGame, as the home of countless entertaining game shows, the beloved MSL, and half of the Proleague life line, will be sorely missed. It was here that AHHHH!! PLAYYGUUUU!!! and RIBO RIBO RIBO were coined. It was here that fantastically pimp plays were carried out, revolutions occured, and amazing ceremonies brought tears to our eyes from laughter.
Yesterday, MBCGame recorded its very last show, a program titled, "Adieu, MBCGame." Casters Kim Chul Min and  Shark, along with host Kang Hyunjong from Star Infinity Challenge gathered to share the channel's history and legacy, and reflect on the many years they spent together. The show is scheduled to air during the Lunar New Year holidays, starting on the 20th.

Kim Chul Min: Tomorrow morning at 6AM, I'll be leaving my house to film MBCGame's last program, "Adieu, MBC Game." At that time, I want to give the proper goodbye that I wasn't able to before. Thank you all so much for the time I had [with MBCGame]. I'll always keep those moments in my heart. I love you.

Lee Seung Won: Even though it ended this way, I'll never forget the times and memories, and I'll remain true to the person I am wherever I work. This was the tenor of The Trio (Lee Seung Won, Kim Chul Min, Kim Dong Jun), the Seung of MakByungSeung (Park Sang Hyun, Yoo Byung Joon, Lee Seung Won), and the Seung of MakChungSeung (Park Sang Hyun, Lim Seung Choon, Lee Seung Won). This was MBCGame's Lee Seung Won. [thank you Opticalshot <3]

Shark: We're recording "Adieu, MBCGame" right now! The script is very thick~ but considering it's filled with 12 years of history, it's actually not enough^^ Today, tomorrow, and the day after, a 3 day recording journey~ I'll see everyone on the MBCGame New Year's Special^^

GoRush: I'd like to say a few words about MBCGame today. Tomorrow is the last broadcast, and I give my condolences to those who stayed with MBCGame to the end. To think that the place that gave me the huge honor of an individual league win is shutting down hurts me deeply. Even if it disappears though, I'll treasure it in my heart forever.
If anyone finds any other tweets or messages, please let me know. These just happen to be the ones I follow.
And so, we say goodbye... until 2052.

Are you really that rude and inconsiderate? After everything they have done for BW, you want them to fail in their new pursuit? Very unsympathetic.

Is it wrong for me to still be incredibly angry for MBC to basically piss on BW's face?

Their priority is MBC, not Starcraft. It's not personal.
I say we say thank you for the memories, goodbye.
If anything let's get angry at KPOP!!
MSL 2052. MSL FOREVER!

I was translating the interview myself, until dothegee posted it first and just erased the document (kudos to dothegee for awesome work). Let me point few things out here:
1. Kim Chul Min thinks that his 10 years at MBCgame was worthless given the situation
2. All employees were basically 'fired' from the job including but not limited to producers, writers, casters and commentators
3. MSL was promised, but it ain't going to happen. ABC Mart MSL was the latest and last MSL there ever will be
4. They were forced to record the show 'Adieu, MBCgame' because they ordered people from MBCgame to make such program. No one really liked the idea nor the fact that they were the ones doing it
5. This new pursuit has caused a lot of problems: MBCgame Heros disbanding, many people getting fired, Ongamenet forced to cast more proleague matches etc. etc. without ANY compensation to people who were involved in the field.
It's like telling me to sympathize with the house owner who just kicked out my best friend from his house in a blink of an eye without any 'good reason' or compensation. Doesn't matter if the house owner was 'nice' in the past if my best friend just got evicted without doing anything wrong.
To ArvickHero: I'm quite mad about this situation as well, but realize that MBC is one of 'big 3' television channels in Korea, but making the least profit. It's all about $$$, and if they think music would do better than game, then fuck everyone else's situation, they're going to change the channel without any compensation.

This was my brother's first visit to MBCgame. He loved it so much.
Few days later, I told him that MBCgame is shutting down.
I've seen my brother getting angry few times in his life, and this was one of them. What can I say? Even someone who wasn't into BW for a long time knows that this is wrong.

yea I realize that, but I still think it's fucking stupid. Hence, I want this new venture to completely fall flat on its face .. but it won't. So the only thing I can do is express my anger for my own satisfaction
SO LONG MBCGAME! You guys were the best, and I loved all your shit. Whoever picks up all the MBCGame crew and makes a new game channel, will be my hero for life.

Just to add on my two cents, while I was translating, I was really shocked (and I'm sure Kiett, supernovamaniac, and whoever else read the interview in Korean felt the same way) at how openly angry the interview was. Kim really sounded like a devastated, bitter man in that interview. Looking back on what we know about the closing of MBCGame, a lot of it seems really shady, with very little information being revealed to the public. I think a large part of the anger stems from that kind of betrayal - we, the fans, made MBCGame into what it is today and we never even got to say a proper goodbye. If they had closed out the final MSL, openly told us that it was a business decision, and we got a real sending off to the channel, we wouldn't feel nearly as angry as we do now.

I can't believe msl is already gone .
|
Doh, wish this was out earlier, maybe someone could have broadcast it or something. TT
|
Great write-up. It is too bad. We will see what the future holds for MBC though.
|
Goddamn corporate heads ruining everything
Makes me wish I could become a Ghost so I could cloak and snipe all the idiots who made this decision.
|
I just wish they hold a proper closing ceremony for MSL, it's the least they can do.
