To participate in discussions with members of the IeSF If you think through the issues to be addressed. E, as well as efforts to diversify the sport needed to think it's active support for the government thinks is necessary. To elicit support for the government next year to share opinions and to receive budget support, but so many are pushing. E sports games are likely to determine the content, advertising and public relations as a means of thinking is attractive. - Hanvit Star's move to address the problems and progress 1 for sale Hanvit professional geimdan think very sadly. Yes, just as I heard earlier pro geimdan e sports organizations to operate, while many investors got what effect, and Shinhan Bank Pro League sponsors also understand and are satisfied with the effect. Although pressed for certain goals by the end of the nine sponsoring companies will want to find. E sport than anything you can contribute to the development company focused on finding and it is a work in progress. I can not disclose this information because it confirmed the worst, the argument could not find any company belonging to Hanvit game players to the fans to continue to engage in consultations regarding subsequent action has finished. 9 until the end of time is lacking, but expect good results. - The game developer to secure control over the content shown movement, and StarCraft 2 to be released, starting with a change for this alternative is considered doeneunde a cooperation agreement with Blizzard or specific information about the ongoing discussions. Inside the great results this year are expected to derive. More about the other games and I think you should, too. Working toward each other to promote winwinhal enough, you should always expect good results. - Is willing to continually invest in the gaming industry game a very high growth business is considered. I continue to invest and the country in the world has the lead because of the wireless Internet network that can take advantage of this game, you are likely to produce. E sports games are likely to determine the content and as a means for advertising and promotion are considered attractive. - If there is no sponsor to support SK Telecom's promise can be aggressive current e sports market to see some of those sponsored by the Italian company is worried about hasigo appearance. In fact, Gauri Pradhan, MBC game for at least 25-30 percent of the audience grew more and DMB, including the situation of New Media at the level of 30 million viewers last year, the number of 60 million grew by almost twice as heard. e sport increases the chances that it may encounter, and I think he is growing. 4 In the case of new media, for example, an average of 70 in one days defending 1.1 million hits in July, August Pro League final in the 270 is only increasing. I think the trend is certainly encouraging. E sport is now South Korea is the world's attention to the foundation of new content to think that government and professional associations and related organizations and businesses geimdan and through the cooperation of the important issues that I think is going to create. Nothing in the large-scale infrastructure acquire barren land and the government, including the e sports training on all aspects of game content will have a big interest because the power will be able to think. E future of Korea is not a sport that can lead the world to create conditions so that I will do my best effort.
