WCG the disgrace of gaming
While SC2 is much more popular in the foreign scene, the GSL is actually struggling to get viewers in SK even with free vods.

GomTV -- Figure out how to attract more than 10 people to the Code S games
The Code S tours have gathered surprisingly little attention in Korea. GomTV decided to rent out a 5000 seat gymnasium for the opening ceremonies and games -- which was a bold move, considering that the last GSL finals only had 1800 people in a 6000 seat stadium.
The result was nothing short of disappointing. Only 500 people showed up, prompting one netizen to comment "Are there Arbiters present? I can't see anyone in the audience".
It only went downhill from there -- only 50 people showed up for Boxer's Code S matches, and apparently, only 10 or so people showed up for Tester's Code S matches. Whatever GomTV is doing, they need to rethink their strategies and retool how they're going to pull this off, because the initial hype in Korea is slowly turning into disinterest. Since it is up for GomTV to keep SC2 alive in Korea -- please, please, promote your games better

Semi Empty GSL finals
The previous OSL had exploding crowd of 9000 people full stadium 3 hours before the games started compare to semi empty MKP vs MVP finals. Don't be so quick to judge that Broodwar is dead in Korea. Even my Korean friends mentioned that SC2 was almost non existent in SK, where more people actually play Sudden Attack,Brood War and WoW.
