I'm not surprised. There was a rumor earlier this week that OGN was not going to broadcast Proleague, and there were some things on facebook that hinted at this possibility. I'm not surprised.

Not hugely surprised, OGN is a broadcast network and they follow the viewers, not the other way around. I have the Honor to be your Obedient Servant, P.6

Some minor corrections:

Winner of a Round should be ~$15,000, not 1500

2nd of a Round is also ~$5000, not 500 Some minor corrections:Winner of a Round should be ~$15,000, not 15002nd of a Round is also ~$5000, not 500

Seriously people, you have nothing to bitch about. Nothing. Stop the whining over OGN. They didn't want to broadcast it, so too bad for them. This prize pool is big and better than any of us were expecting. Like someone else said, I believe it's the biggest in Proleague history.



If SC2 starts catching on again in Korea, I'm sure it'll get picked up for TV. This was expected though, regarding OGN changing to LoL.





P.S. I have no idea why they would do Bo5 over Bo7, but I'm o.k. with it either way. "The weak cannot forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong." - Gandhi
