not sold on the mandatory female player thing though, do they have enough skilled female players? (toss girl is the only one that comes to mind). will female players also be playing against male players? or are they just restricted to female vs female games? what about 2v2? will that be coming back?
lol female players. but other than that fuck yeah!
also interesting to see the old teams formed again but without sponsors..does britney hope to re-attract those same companies or is this just nostalgia...
Really interesting that he's allowed to use the old team logos / likeness in this. I guess KeSPA doesn't have any interest in shutting it down, not that they necessarily even technically could. Britney's hitting me in the nostalgia feels with all those graphics coming in with old Proleague and/or OSL intro music.
I hope that this becomes successful so that it's also offline and the prize money goes up. 10k is low for a teamleague but if they get more sponsors, who knows. I'm not sure if using the old logos would benefit the league. Wouldn't it make more sense to try and get new sponsors to fund the teams?
And how will they divide the players? Oh, I see. Like the days of old.
dang, I really wanted to see an offline version of this. Since there's a lot more starpower on each match day and fans grow attached to teams, I think they could have packed the studio consistently. Still enough BW interest in Korea. One day~

...what?
just looking forward to all the great games well have between these female ex pros. Im sure theyre going to be happy reuniting with the teammates they practiced and lived with for years on SKT/KT/CJ etc
Am I the only one who's disappointed that this isn't offline? ATB was great and it saddens me that there's no signs of it ever coming back. We could've been on the 4th one now :/
Still, an online proleague could be fun and hopefully, it shows there's enough support to make it offline in the near future.

Yeah, hopefully at least the finals will be offline
This is wonderful, can't wait to see another Korean BW team league. I have to say, the forced inclusion of female players seems a little tacky, but in a scene like BW I guess we should just be thankful that any effort at all is being made to shine the spotlight on lesser known players.
Btw, as much as I understand the publicity stunt they're pulling off by enforcing female vs female matches, I can't help but feel the scene would benefit more had they chosen to draft amateurs into the team rosters.
