I don't think they look kindly upon a third party entering late - pumping in some cash - and tapping a market they've built from the ground from the very early stages.
Good writeup and coverage Pachi. Much appriciated!Last edit: 2008-04-29 06:11:14 |

These are marked down to be done as VODs but likely no english vods will be made. |

More likely OGN and MBC put massive pressure on them and the proleague franchise to exclude a third competitor from entering the market. |

Yes please!!! 
Keep linking them!
Thanks!
By the way, the links for the 4/29 games are swapped.
The second link is for 815 vs Kwanro, the third for Guemchi vs ZergBoy and the last for FireFist vs ForGG. |

Nice thread Pachi. I was going to make one of these but I wouldn't have kept it updated.
Having a Ro64 and a Ro32 makes me remember why one has group stages. And that's a lot of games that Tasteless has to cast. |
