Hopefully this is good news for SC2 but I do not know what it really means.

I could say the same thing about sc2 and it being too cluttered to notice anything. I could say the same thing about sc2 and it being too cluttered to notice anything. The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

What does Afreeca do besides streaming services? I assume it is a small portion of some Korean Megaconglomerate.



Nothing much. AfreecaTV earned 4.3m$ in the first half of this year itself, just by subscribers' donations and ads.



*FIY, the whole sales revenue is 30.9m$.

So, what happens to the future of the GSL? Isn't it required to be broadcasted to twitch.tv?

Its also required to be broadcast in free HD. Gom doesn't follow the rules apparently. Its also required to be broadcast in free HD. Gom doesn't follow the rules apparently. Greatest Map of All Time Tournament https://tl.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=27617173

I would miss the history of GSL but most of the really good folks left GOM a while ago (Seeker and John are the notable exceptions) and I can't say that I approve of their spending decisions. Also, SpoTV is doing great things for SC2 in Korea right now so I would be lying if I said that I thought taking the funds from GSL and putting them into Starleague wouldn't be an improvement.

Agreed, spotv having been doing such an excellent job bringing the popularity back as you can see by the audience growing tremendously than before. If gsl did end up crashing, i'd prefer there to be 2 tournaments instead of just one still. Theres a possibility that ogn's starleague might take that roll.

What happened to the world of tanks tournament thing? I guess this move is because the venue is not really used after the games they had didn't have good return? 其疾如风，其徐如林，侵掠如火，不动如山，难知如阴，动如雷震。
