Especially now that they're officially sponsoring GOM, which makes OGN, MBC, etc the "unofficial" companies. My guess is that Blizzard will start charging them royalties. Blizzard has known about these Starleagues for years. Pretty sure as long as upper management doesn't change, aka Pardo, they're not going to start charging royalties. If anything they'd just ask for their logo here and there. Only thing that would happen if Blizzard asked for royalties is OGN/MBC studios would start charging admission - I guess the real question is, are people ready to start paying for seats to watch SC. | ||

Blizzard hasn't been getting anything out of MBC/OGN this whole time? Well starcraft sold about a billion copies in korea, thats already something. I'm still a bit skeptical about this, cause I do think its quite possible that they are gonna try to charge mbc/ogn for Starcraft 2 broadcasts. I don't want them to take over everything, and I mean OSL >> Averatec-Intel GOM imho But as long as they remember that they're already filthy rich anyways and not only think about themselves but also about the esports fans this could be a pretty good thing | ||

Awesome :D I miss those. Yes! It's too bad the brackets forbid a Jaedong/Flash/Effort top 3. The best we can hope for is Jaedong/Flash and July/Iris/Skyhigh in 3rd. | ||

Rofl so true.. As usual I looked at the SC2 forum section first but this news is better than anything I could have read there, including beta tomorrow. ESPORTS, actually. | ||
