Ongamenet's 33rd Starleague will be sponsored by Korea's best N Screen service, tving. The tving Starleague 2012 Ro16 will begin on the 8th with the group lottery ceremony, and will be broadcast every week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 7:30 PM KST.
CJ Hello Vision's tving is a service that connects your PC, Smartphone, Tablet, etc. with the internet and allows you to watch more than 200 channels in real time, as well as over 50,000 VODs. In particular, they provide content like Mnet's Voice of Korea, Superstar K 3, and NASCAR Sprint Cup Super Race, things that young people are into. blah blah more stuff about tving
CJ Hello Vision tving director Choi Byung Hwan stated, "Tving deals mostly in content targeted towards youth, and we believe sponsoring a starleague will create good synergy with our aims, so we're looking forward to this. The Starleague is important to the growth and development of game culture."
"Within tving, we've set up a channel specifically for Starleague live broadcasts, and we're offering VOD services for it as well, so that no matter where you are or what time it is, you have the right media environment to watch the OSL."
So uh, nobody made a topic for this. I can't translate but i'll just summarise what other people have said in the R&S thread. if someone wants to translate the article they can post it here or make their own OP or whatever i don't mind.

Does that also mean better streaming service perhaps? In any case, yay!
But seriously, my theory is that the foreign interest in BW is currently limited by the video quality of the streams. So if this ends up helping in this regard too, it may be quite a push for the foreign interest in BW.

wat ? source, i missed that :/ all i can find is that ogn works on open individual sc2 league with no date; and for OSL they say they haven't decided yet and thus it could remain BW indefinitely it seems so far

The month wasn't in the live twitter report, thank you. But that still doesn't mean this should even be considered as sc2 OSL, because for OSL they said it's not decided if it's gonna remain BW - which means it could.

highly unlikely though with the direction they're taking PL.... this OSL could very well be the last BW OSL ever
it's really nice that they got a new sponsor. I hope the korean scene will be bolstered with even more sponsors in the future! I don't want to see any more players retire or teams get disbanded.
