James Lampkin ‏ @Kennigit
Ah so thats why Moletrap moved to OGN and couldn't comment about it.

Mr. Lee: Officially speaking, Proleague season 2 will begin on 3rd week of May, and it will be both SC1 and SC2. We are still looking into the details of the format that can satisfy both SC1 and SC2 fans. We will probably announce the details by 2nd week of May. For OSL, the new season will begin on October, and it will be a complete transition to SC2. We are still discussing about the requirement of Proleague players. Since it will be both SC1 and 2, it will be hard to change SC1 players to SC2 players in terms of certification. By October, SC1 will vanish and everything will move to SC2. GSTL players is discussing this matter with GomTV and we will discuss with them as well.

Mr. Oh: Many people ask, why SC2? The main reason why us four organizations are transitioning to SC2 is because we wish to expand Korean eSports scene. The ultimate purpose of transitioning Proleague to SC2 is for globalization. Of course, Proleague will have tight schedule, but KeSPA will be more open to it. We are already in talk with many leagues in the world and already initiating some. KeSPA-affiliated players will attend international tournaments.

Paul Sams: As I have said many times before, us four organizations will work on to the globalizaiton of the eSports. Each representatives of the organization will support this as well. Blizzard will support players through Battlenet World Championship. players will be qualified through 19 naitonal championships, and the champion will be decided in the global championship. We plan to find the best of the best in Battlenet-supported SC2, WoW, and Dota

Boxer asked KeSPA that there is a bigger market outside of Korea and whether they have intention of sending their players to overseas to compete. KeSPA answered that they will FULLY support players to compete in overseas tournaments.

Mr. Hwang: We plan to switch to HD channel by January to March 2013. Just like LoL, HD broadcasting will be done through online. We plan to do global casting for SC2 as well, and plan to partner with other online media broadcaster (own3D, TwitchTV).

Lo que he podido leer sobre el meeting de cafés que han tenido es bueno. Me da pena ver que el BW terminará muriendo en Corea pero es algo que tenía que pasar tarde o temprano.

Lo curioso será ver que habrá 4 tipos de ligas coreanas y que permitirá el cambio entre ellas. Además de exportar/importar pr0's. Me alegra mucho que las 4 compañias hayan llegado a un acuerdo para pegar el impulso que necesitaba SC2. Ojala Blizzard miré mas a occidente ahora para impulsarlo un poco más.

Ganas de ver partidos nuevos en Mayo en la SK!!!

Puntos confirmados por las 3 organizaciones de Corea:

KeSPA

Starcraft II has been officially recognized as a KeSPA game.

SK Planet Proleague Season II (starting in May) will have both Starcraft II and Brood War. It's undetermined as to how they will be integrated, but KeSPA specifically mentioned they would look for a more interesting way than alternating sets of each game.

The Proleague season after SK Planet Season II (starting on October) is planned to be completely Starcraft II.

At this time, there are no details regarding the future participation of GSTL/GomTV teams.

Spreading Korean eSports around the world is a goal, and KeSPA has been negotiating with various international organizations.

OnGameNet

OnGameNet plans to hold an individual level Starcraft II league in July. They would like to make it as open as possible so that anyone can compete, whether they are KeSPA, GomTV, and even amateur players.

OnGameNet plans to broadcast to foreign audiences, and they have experience doing this with their LOL league.

GomTV

GomTV would welcome the Brood War professionals to compete against GSL players in a tournament or show match setting, and would facilitate it whenever the Brood War players were ready and desired it.
