The announcement of the next sponsor for the world's most prestigious e-Sports league, the OnGameNet Starleague, was announced last night at the conclusion of the tving Starleague finals.
'Auction', a Korean internet shopping mall/auction site, will be the new sponsor for this upcoming league. With the slogan, 'All Kill', OnGameNet said that Auction have been following the Starleague for quite some time, and was excited to promote their brand name.

Reading the title alone I thought OGN was holding an auction to raise money to sponsor the next OSL or something ridiculous like that.
That's cool that we have a brand new sponsor though, hopefully sc2 OSL means no more charity sponsorships from kespa teams. |

| Whats the deal with korean companies typically only sponsoring one season of something like this instead of more typical western long term deals? Cultural I guess, but I don't get it. |

| So why would this company sponsor SC2 but not BW? It doesn't seem like they're trying to advertise to international viewers, and as far as I can tell SC2 is still not very popular in Korea. |

The thing is that it has potential to be a popular game in Korea. Just like it happened everywhere else. If GSL is happy with subscriptions, OGN will be too. |

| Sad that BW's had it's last OSL, but excited at the prospect of an SC2 OSL. Looking forward to the next season, and the future of OGN in SC2. |

| While it's sad BW is gone, this is good news and I really am hoping OGN can step up and be the major SC2 team league. |
