Las Vegas, the stage of dreams for every sports event in the world, will be visited by our two finalist teams of the GSTL. Furthermore, the StarCraft II part of IPL 4 will be produced by GOMTV together with IPL, with the final day of the event (Sunday April 8th) being additionally broadcasted with Korean commentary for the Korean audience.
GOMTV is looking forward to a long-term cooperation with North America’s premier league, IPL, in 2012 and beyond. Last year in September I attended IPL 3 and talked a lot with IPL’s General Manager David Ting. I was very impressed with IPL’s perspective on e-Sports and their highly skilled and passionate staff and felt that GOMTV and IPL share a common goal and vision.
