yeah but then again it is on march 3rd, siginificant BW date not so much SC2.

As much as I'd love another BW starleague, I think SC2 needs more attention if they want it to surive in Korea. Supposedly sponsors are lining up to get involved in SC1, shame the same isn't happening in the latter installment of the franchise.

Which of course they're free to do. Still, they'd have to deal with upset fans who might have watched a BW league if it was advertised differently.

It's just basic business: advertisers want to get more eyes on their product. If SC2 isn't as popular as a nearly 20-year-old game that isn't the sponsors' fault, it's Blizzard's.

I know, that's why it hurt so much when 6 kespa teams pulled out of sc2 cause there was no business in it anymore, without holding onto any sentiment. But still, I'm hoping Afreeca find a way to revitalise the game, theye done an amazing job so far, both in SC2 and BW.

I mean at the end of the day they teased another SSL. It implies sc2 but it could also be a BW one. Kinda like OSL switched to sc2. I hope that's not the case and we get an sc2 one, but as i said before i wanna have Spotv content for both games anyway.

Hybrid Tournament, calling it now. Why attract fans of one game when you could attract fans of both in one tournament!

If it's a BW tournament, not interested atm.

I feel like they should want to make as much money with BW as they can by themselves as long as possible.

If SPOTV wants to do a tournament then they can do that without any input from afreeca? One of the things i wouldn't understand is where SPOTV gets the money from for another sc2 SSL / tournament. Is blizzard on board? Doesn't seem like it?

Kinda like the whole KeSPA/OSL/GSL thing when they switched from BW to SC2.
Why would Blizzard be against it if SPOTV wanted to do one? Seems like just a matter of negotiating.
We'll see soon enough anyway.

Oh so you want afreeca to try being kespa 2.0 Nah not gonna happen i think ^^ I mean why would SPOTV want to do one without sponsors. Before they had blizzard, where is the money coming from now? I hope the statement about tomorrow is true

A statement nobody actually believed?
Maybe they talked to Blizzard and figured something out. Or maybe it's not an SC2 tournament after all. Although in that case I guess you could still ask yourself where the money comes from.

If it was blizzard i feel like we would have heard about it in their announcement most likely. I guess it depends on what that tournament really is. If it's more like a kespa cup i coud see it being done with some smaller korean sponsor maybe? If it's a full SSL i doubt that works though. Well Flash also said that a lot of sponsors are interested in BW atm with all the hype about TBLS being in bw again. So there is that. I mean there are even rumors that there might be another OSL depending on how well that OGN showmatch does in march.
