아마 12월쯤 (Possibly, December-ish)

Super Daniel Man just posted this on Twitter: as of now I can safely say there won't be any more gomtv leagues with progamers in it.



Does anyone know more about this? I tried replying to it but don't expect him to respond. It would be a sad, sad day indeed if GOMTV isn't going to have a season 4, especially since they just got the backing of Blizzard.



Please post here if you hear anything more about this.

well, to make the long story short, under kespa there are 12 teams and most of them decided not to participate.



Also, a recent reply to this thread from Kennigit:

ANOTHER UPDATE



I just want to point out that I said "as of now" meaning it's pending, nothing was stated on the record.



Is there still hope?



More



Is there still hope? to me it's pretty certain that league won't continue, at least not in the same fashion as last season,



nothing was stated on the record by them is what I meant, oh and everything I say is I do it of my own volition, and I always go on record!



I think tweeting is pretty much going on record lol, appropriate time to quote a movie I think Denzel washington in the movie



said one of the best lines in a movie " KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME". Damn I love that line, it's been part of my lingual for years now.



so that's what I say to ppl that got upset by my tweet here in Korea, particularly you know who, oh I also want to say to them,

too bad julyzerg can't goto blizzcon I know how much that boy wanted to go, he was next in line to go, after flash and iris. STX stood by KESPA, hate it when players gets left out because of politics. Blizzard holding hands with GOMTV isn't affecting KESPA at all.

Comparing these two:

"as of now I can safely say there won't be any more gomtv leagues"

"as of now I can safely say there won't be any more gomtv leagues with progamers in it."



That is big I think. They might just be moving in a different direction.

Whats sad is Iris and Flash both didnt go to Blizzcon, so JulyZerg would have been able to just fine. And they RANDOMLY took Zero (I love Zero btw).

That was SDM's full statement (you have to read Twitter posts backwards.) It's clear that July couldn't go because of STX breaking with GOM.

I think I speak for the entirety of Foreign Broodwar fans when I say...



Fuck you, Kespa! I tell people I play this game for money all the time. 650 RP isn't much, but it pays the bills. ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

FabledIntegral Profile Blog Joined November 2008 United States 9206 Posts #12 I really want Blizzard to somehow intervene and fuck Kespa hard...



Oh man I loveeed GOM. Shouldn't the title read GOM 4 not 3? I was confused when I clicked the thread (although it clears up immediately after reading OP).

A new business model for GOM?



-Foreign sponsors

-Foreign players

-Professional casters

-Top foreigners go to Blizzcon? Top foreigners get flown to Korea for the finals?



LOTS of people watch GOM. It's got a huge following outside of TL. A new business model for GOM?-Foreign sponsors-Foreign players-Professional casters-Top foreigners go to Blizzcon?

SpiritWolf Profile Joined July 2008 United States 127 Posts #16 The blacklisting of gom really doesn't surprise me. Gom is supported by blizzard. Kespa doesn't want blizzard to encroach on their market so they are discouraging players from doing gom. When SC2 comes out kespa will get owned and back down or gom will become the main source for sc2.

Husky Profile Blog Joined May 2009 United States 3362 Posts #17 Oh oops, I messed up the title. If someone could change it to 'Season 4' instead of 3 it would make a lot more sense.

p4NDemik Profile Blog Joined January 2008 United States 13895 Posts #18 Honestly I won't miss the tournament as a whole very much - there's just so many games being played when PL/MSL/OSL all get running at full speed, and GOM was never something I would make time to watch. I will however miss the chances to see unique/old-timer gamers in proper televised matches and not just prelims. Moderator
