For Gom's 3rd season,

(50 million won!)

It's not just Starcraft.

Here are the details:

+ Show Spoiler [from the article] +
Just recently, Blizzard, the most famous game company who made such classics a Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo, announced that they are partnering up with GomTV and sponsoring their current league, TG Sambo - Intel Classic Season 3, as well as a WoW and Warcraft 3 league.

Blizzard is giving 50 million won toward the TG Sambo - Intel Classic Season 3 Starcraft league, and the winner will also be awarded a spot in this years BlizzCon event.

On June 10th, the WoW tournament sponsored by Microsoft and its new product the Sidewinder, will be having a league, also sponsored by Blizzard with 50 million won.

Awesome move for Blizzard, it's about time they get into a legit circle of Starcraft tourneys, etc.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

Super Daniel Man either said outright, or was hinting at the fact that Blizzard and GOM TV were now working together, so I guess it's official now.

GOM TV has been doing an amazing job so far, I've yet to pick up their premium service only on the basis that SC graphics really don't require a 600k stream, if SC2 is picked up and broadcasted it's something I will definitely look into.

It is a sponsor, being they give you 40k dollars for putting their logo on everything. They aren't buying the other company. It is quite a step, in my opinion.

This is what I posted on Starfeeder...

This is amazing news. It shows Blizzard isnt interested in 'taking over' the E-Sports scene, rather, they want to support the company they see best fit to bring Starcraft to much of the world, and that is easily GOM.

No other SC company has the dedication GOM does to making SC popular around the world. Hell, look at all the fan sites, they all mostly talk about GOM.

I cant wait to see what they do in the future, this is something to be very excited about

Is that 40k all going to the prize pool? How big was the prize pool before?

no wonder KESPA refuses to work with GOM. They get a premier sponsor, and a direct ticket to the U.S/European audience.

So true. Kespa is digging its own grave.
