MLG working on English broadcast for Proleague.

The problem has always been stream license issues. That is why MvP was PPV. MLG, Kespa, and IEG wanted it to be free.

We're working on it now.

I can tell you right now we never caused anyone to get kicked out. This is news to us as well. We wanted to cast Pro League as a rebroadcast in EST prime time hours, we didn't know there would be no English cast. Again, we're working on it now.

So potentially free, in English and a rebroadcast in eastern time.

Frankly English would be nice, but listened to Korean for all of BW, probably wouldnt be that bad for SC2 as well. GL MLG

Fingers crossed MLG can pull off a miracle. Also what are the Stream license issues?

I really hope it is correct that they "only wanted to do a rebroadcast", when they tweeted this 2 days ago: (when OGN was still thinking they do the english broadcast)

(after what we all now about KeSPA, I'm pretty skeptical)

As much as I love watching the Proleague games, waking up at 5 am ET to watch them kinda kills the rest of your day (particularly night life ;p)

An ET rebroadcast would be fantastic, hope it goes through!

They've been in talks for a while. MLG are the reason this happened in the first place. They are replacing OGN.

"Potentially free" is where I have the problem. We're supposed to trust MLG to keep it free? Just like we could trust OGN and Kespa, right?

I don't mind if i have to pay for the stream (as long as it's priced decently), if the stream is English or Korean, but rebroadcast is what isn't for me. So no thanks to that. Although, i guess its great for Americans out there to watch rebroadcast instead of live due time differences.

I'll stick with Live and Korean cast nevertheless. :-)

All this bickering is making me sad

And most involved are organizations I don't even like or want to support!

But I still want it resolved

Or Sayle to the rescue, which is what I want

I wonder if MLG knew what they were getting themselves into when they became kespa partners.
Do they even know what the hell kespa want to do? I just hope they don't become as much of a joke as kespa are right now.

Hopefully MLG can pull this off but I honestly would be fine if they just ignored it. (stop trying to be heroes)
KeSPA will probably charge a nice price for the streaming rights and with it PPV.
Casting will be a pain since this will be done via the MLG studio and not on site.

KeSPA giving OGN the boot IS because of MLG I bet.
KeSPA probably saw a chance when MLG showed interest for a rebroadcast and pulled the plug for OGN.
We should learn by our old mistakes and leave KeSPA alone, they haven't changed a bit and now they are more awful than ever.

EG: Ok we can't have Naniwa in EG because he is so much better than our players so lets get him his own team! "The Alliance" is born.
