The community project started in the Brood War General forum (link) has met its initial goal of $100! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this group effort.
I present to you yet another unprofessional banner and details below. It's a green star balloon, which is used for funding sponsored matches ("sponbbang" in Korean) on AfreecaTV, being held up by the collective might of the Brood War community. Yes...I shed a man tear on this paper, which is why I cropped out that part.

We will sponsor a $100 BO5 match between two top pro players on AfreecaTV.
The first broadcast will take place on Saturday, Mar 03 8:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). The cast will use replays and be streamed on the TeamLiquid Twitch channel. We will also post the cast on the upcoming events calendar on the side for easier tracking.
VODs will be posted on YouTube (link) directly after the cast.
The two players involved in the first BO5 match will be announced 48 hours prior to the cast.
The players will be chosen based on availability, recent story lines, and fan interest. I will try to gauge fan interest based on the posts made on TL by community members. Discuss your favorite matchups here!
Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPORTANT EDITS:
1) It's going to be Flash vs Larva on the new ASL maps.
2) If the TeamLiquid twitch channel doesn't work, we will be using the following backups:

<3 so much for doing this. I haven't contributed yet but I will 100% add my patreon funds soon. You're amazing!

This is so great! I want to see a pvt with horang2. He has finally started to play more bw again, lets motivate him further.

That would be really sweet but I guess the majority would want to see players like flash/larva/jd/best/sk/effort...
But yes, I really hope Horang2 keeps practicing!!

Players like flash/larva/jd/best/sk/effort play each other everyday, all you need to do is turn up their stream to see that.
Sponsoring some oldschools or not-the-top might actually be more interesting and would give them more incentive to play starcraft (instead of PUBG)
Also some oldschool pros vs current top foreigners would be cool to see also. Could dewalt take on nada? eonzerg vs reach?

I would love to see either of these matches.

Hello, lemmata.
I agree with angrypofke. I would love to see a match between Reach and Nal_rA because they're so close in skill at the moment, and they have such a long history in the game.
EDIT: I just want to add that I think Stork vs. Firebathero would be a lot of fun as well!

FAT) Vs Ajae, the unfinished business!

Yep I agree, money would be wasted on the top streamers. They do this shit everyday at no cost to the foreign audience. Should be a novelty match!!!

Hopefully we can get Flash vs Larva or Last vs Larva on some unique maps :D

doubt this will happen. The original campaign was for two ex-pros on Afreeca meaning that dewalt and eonzerg don't qualify. Nada vs Reach does though I'd rather see one of the top players atm.

I don't want to see a curb stomp. I really like big fans idea for JD, flash, or Larva to play on a cool map. We might not see JD vs Flash for awhile if they go military. Savor it now!
Edit:
Another thing I'd like to see from lemmata's idea is more interaction between TL and the Korean pros who will play. It would be so cool to see fellow TLers get a chance to ask questions to the Korean players during the stream. No need for an interview, just simple friendly banter would be awesome. I hope we get to hear the pros interact with our foreign casters. =)
I hope it is not where they come to play and the only thing we see is "gg" in chat before they leave.
But I'm sure lemmata has already thought of this. Can't wait to see the relationships that form from this initiative.

I wanted to bump this to bring attention to this thread. Let's feel excitement.
|
So, if I read the OP correctly you'll announce the participants tonight cca. 9 PM GMT+1?
|
If this is the peoples sponbbang then why not upload the replays for the masses  (I just really want them reps.)
