eh... I dont agree that BW should be abandoned, and I'm a huge SC2 fan outside of korea. Im sure there are plenty of people who do not want bw to be abandoned. maybe one day it will phase out, but it needn't be this year or the next.

Seems unlikely, and even if it is true do not want. There's certainly no reason to abandon BW, and SC2 has enough events as it is.

i dont see how this can work if you need a progaming license to play sc2. what GSL has is working. its just a korean stigma holding back sc2 from being bigger than it could be in korea

He did not make a mistake, what he says is true. Sadly enough.

This is pretty interesting. Would definitely not like to see BW completely dropped, and neither do I think it will be, but if SC2 is getting tempting to Kespa, can't see too many bad things happening in it's future.

Lets be honest BW hasn´t been doign so great as it did in the past. I still hope this rumour means a parallel SC2 league(but I don´t really want GOM to be screwed) and not total death of the BW leagues.
To me the ideal outcome would be a Kespa SC2 league parallel to the BW leagues and a GOMtv league competing for it.
Assuming this is true and if they decide for a similar format as in BW it means that foreigners now will really have a much harder time to play in Korea.
I am really conflicted about this rumour. I only want the best for both scenes ;_;

Oh come on, hardly anyone in Korean communities are not biased right now.
You should know better than I do regarding that.
스꼴 vs 스투충???

This would be a bad move for the SC2 foreign community that primarily follows the GSL. The way Gom caters to English speakers is amazing and it would be terrible to lose that.
|
Unless BW viewership in Korea is declining rapidly, I don't see why Kespa would even consider doing this.
Plus, the logistics involved are substantial for a full switch from BW to SC2. What will the current BW teams do? What about the existing SC2 team association (the SC2 Kespa "equivalent"). There are already several "top tier" SC2 teams - would BW teams start merging with SC2 teams, and will sponsors of BW teams start demanding name changes for such merged teams (e.g. Slayers -> SKT1, as unlikely as that is, considering the Intel sponsorship).
And how would GOM figure into this? The relationships between Kespa, GOM, SC2 team assocation, MBCGame, OGN, and Blizzard is going to be...interesting to say the least.

What would this mean for the anibox channel that has broadcasting rights for GSL?

My point is that listening to members is not a valid source of anything, especially PlayXP which is a remnant of a wc3 forum anyway :|

This is horrible, I could never support this. If BW is to finish then let it finish because it doesn't have popularity anymore, not for any other reason.

Because, GomTV is certainly less adept at running professional gaming leagues, unlike Kespa with their 10+ years of experience running gaming leagues. Kespa nowadays is also focusing on other games, and reducing their BW coverage bit by bit. (No pun intended) That Tekken tourney which Kespa is hosting is running pretty well. I believe its called "Tekken Crash."
Im not arguing that Kespa would do their job better at running a SC2 league. I just dont thinkBlizzard would do this behind the back of Gom, why should they? If Blizz wanted to give Kespa a licence they could do it if Gom knows about it or not, and Blizz would only piss off Gom (even more) with such a move wich isnt in their interest either. There is no reason why tere shouldnt be multiple Korean leagues like in BW (MSL OSL + Gom classic), like there are multiple leagues in the USA (NASL, IPL, MLG).

Its bound to happen sooner or later. We live in a world where everything goes old very fast. Ah well can't do anything about it I'll still play BW for fun
|
uh i sure hope they dont switch. i mean why would they in the first place broodwar is still much more popular in korea.

They are better than DC BW gallery people, anyways.
Regardless of their origins, PlayXP is the biggest Korean SC2 fansite right now.
Many GomTV staffs browse their forums.
