The World Cyber Games (WCG) and OnGameNet (OGN) TV channel continue their relationship for an extended period of time


Just recently, the CEO of the WCG, Kim Hyung Suk, signed an extension for the OGN TV channel to globally broadcast its event until the year 2010. This brings great hope for everyone who has been talking about the possibility of the WCG folding, due to lack of sponsorship.

OGN has been the broadcasting company of choice for the WCG since 2006, where the grand final was held in Italy. Though many say it was the worst grand final ever, in terms of location, OGN did its very best to bring the world high quality videos, which is why they will be under contract for a minimum of 5 years in total.

This also brings great news to the Starcraft community, especially on a global level, as the WCG is basically the only offline event that is left, and it has greatly helped thousands of gamers come close to one another over the years, and given many people the chance to see the world by playing video games, when they might not have had the chance otherwise.
