Most likely, as any new recruit of M before. Apparently, if their new player is him (which has not been confirmed now, but we know that they are recruiting someone), he would be on contract for 3 months that would be extended after if he goes well along with the team.

Soon koreans will move to foreign team houses to train and get better! Hope eg frat house has some room left!

This is like that time when we we're all like "SC2 is dying" and #saveHotS. That was fun.

Many people on reddit still said they don't care. Well, that explains the falling. And I am shocked.

I don't want the korean scene to die. But I guess it doesn't look very bright. I'll try to stay optimistic, though.

SC2 is nothing without Korea though.

WC3 was fine when Korea dropped it after the map scandal.

Anyways all of those are just rumors, let's see how it turns out in the end. Korean SC2 will be just fine as long as GomTV and Blizzard are still here.

If Korean pros stop playing sc2, I'm suddenly like... a LOT better at SC2 in the grand scheme... like 75% closer to being the best player in the world.

nah, nothing that extreme. they just bought their shares back from vivendi, which they wouldn't have done if they needed to bankrupt.

But the news in general is troubling if it's not just unsubstantiated rumors...

I hope this is an opportunity for the foreign scene to really step up

well the pros cene of this game will be in agony state within next 3-6months, thanks to idiot wcs arranges which killed even pro major and premier leagues (ipl, mlg, nasl), brought gsl mark downstate and now kills proleague. also thanks to blizzard for poor game design, no listening to REAL fans criticism and proposals (we all wanted this game to be better) and no supporting this game in times of LOL and Dota being rivals.

hope BW will be ressurected.

The end of the first step. After 7 hours the next step. - Ethan Ahn 31:8

Did you mean to type 3:18? The way it's written looks like a scripture reference. The coming of the apocalypse in chapter 31 verse 8 of the book of Ahn.

Really none of this surprises me... hots did not deliver in saving SC2, all it did was move the shitty around. Instead of BL/infestor, we now have parade pushes, void rays, and swarm hosts. Had the expansion units broadened options like the BW units did, we might see SC2 growing, but we didn't get that, we got useless units like the viper and hellbat, direct replacements like the widow mine and the swarm host, and random shit like all the protoss units.

SC2 designers really have a problem listening to their community and delivering on fun and interesting options. Instead,we get shit like 4M forever.

Blizzard will need to make LotV cheap as fuck to play if they want it to stand any chance as a sport, long-term. I just hope it's not in the LoL F2P model.
