Life Sympathy 06/13/22 11:42:17 PM #37:	lihlih posted... Lolno, Broodwar was still drawing crazy numbers until match fixing scandal and MBC doing that dumbass move. The match fixing scandal by Savior and others mostly drove away sponsorships but those were gone by the time, not viewers. Savior was well past his prime and most people were following the TaekBangLeesSang fandom by that point. Savior was playing so few games at that point that he destroyed his legacy more than anything. As for the sponsorship, we went from the early 2000s with big hitters such as Coca-Cola, SKY, Panasonic, Gillette. By the time we were at 2007 and onward, sponsorships were looking more like begging EVER and Incruit for more seasons. OGN still managed to find big hitters like Korean Air which would give rise to the JinAir (low cost subsidiary airline to Korean Air) Greenwings team. MBCGame was getting royally shafted on the other hand. They were begging for sponsors from the likes of ClubDay Online, Lost Saga, Hana Daetoo Securities, BigFile, etc etc. MBCGame was hemoraging money long before the decision to axe it came through. Remember that mini series Hyungjoon (K-Pop Star) Becomes a Progamer? That was before the match fixing scandal came to light and that was writing on the wall that MBCGame was extremely desperate to keep their channel alive. Hyungjoon didn't even take it seriously and goofed off for the entire series. Let's also not forget KeSPA extremely arrogant attitude around then too. Remember when GOMTV tried to bring official content to the global audience with the Star Invitational Tournament? KeSPA said no and refused to count any matches as official KeSPA matches and forbidding any of their referee services from participating. That chased off teams and killed that initiative real fast. There were deep rooted issues far beyond that those two events within the scene that were easy to keep hidden from the global audience due to us only having second hand stuff presented by TeamLiquid. Most people will point to around 2007 being the golden age of the scene. --- We're surrounding you. We see you, but you probably don't see us.
