StarCraftused to dominate the esports scene, but has been on the decline for years. ProLeague matches have been broadcast across multiple South Korean cable channels over its years of operation, starting with StarCraft: Brood Warsin 2003 up to the current StarCraft 2. South Korea has shifted its esports focus toward League of Legendsand Overwatch, both of which have dominating numbers at internet cafes in the country.
KeSPA Chairman Jun Byung-hun said in a statement that the organization had multiple difficulties keeping SCProLeague going, from securing sponsorships to scandals.
"[ProLeague] had its share of hurdles that we as its organizers had to overcome," Byung-hun said. "We had faced challenges that hindered ProLeague’s operations including the acute drop in global eSports sponsorships in 2008 caused by the global financial crisis, the first case of eSports match-fixing, and declining number of teams."
Throughout ProLeague's lifespan, nearly two dozen people have been arrested and charged for fixing matches, starting with 11 players in 2010, 12 more individuals in 2015 and most recently the arrest of 2014 champion Life in January this year.
KeSPA doesn't plan on totally leaving pros hanging, Byung-hun said.
"With its partners, KeSPA will look for ways to support pro-gamers who will be competing in the WCS Global Finals this November as well as continue to seek competition opportunities for local pro-gamers through measures such as expanding the StarCraft KeSPA Cup," has said.
