They were pressured by KESPA because KESPA is dissatisfied with the amount of control Blizzard retains around GOM. A lot of the corporations owning those teams are heavily invested in KESPA.
So, I really hope MBCGame can find a sponsor. Hopefully one that isn't an MMO or anything like that.

People who can read Korean - is this a sign of serious trouble? Or is it the same old MSL having trouble finding sponsors (which has been the situation for quite awhile now). Not saying that the MSL won't happen, but it is pretty discouraging that it seems to be getting harder and harder for them to find a sponsor.
I can't remember it taking them so long that they had to postpone the group selection.

This is becoming more and more serious issue that is being discussed among Korean communities. We are even saying that OSL will sponsor MSL so its gonna be OSL MSL lol. But I have been watching sc for over 6 years and i miss the old times.... Big names like Coke, Panasonic, Gillette would line up to be a sponsor but now its like begging EVER to sponsor again for OSL sponsorship where MSL doesnt even have a company to beg for. Canceling a group selection means that MSL is not even getting any positive response from any of companies they asked for which is pretty damn serious. Sigh... stupid marketing teams in big companies dont even have a slightest clue on how effective it is to advertise on game channel. Seriously, there are so many fucking random companies sponsoring Korean Soccer League which prob has lower rating than MSL quater final. Anyways.. yeah my answer got little bit too long but thats how much I am worried about MSL.. I was looking forward to watch SC for another 5 years.
