Longest Running eSports League Discontinued
KeSPA, the Korean eSports Association, has announced the world's longest running eSports league, the StarCraft ProLeague, has been discontinued.
According to the announcement on Facebook, KeSPA chairman Jun ByungHun said "the drop in the number of ProLeague teams and players, difficulty securing league sponsors, and match fixing issues have made it challenging to maintain ProLeague."
The ProLeague was formed in 2003. "The decision to put the past 14 years behind us and discontinue ProLeague was a difficult one and it deeply saddens me to have to also bring you the news that KeSPA will be stopping its operations of ProLeague teams," said Jun Byunghun.

New Pokemon Demo Accidentally Reveals Entire Pokedex
The Pokemon Sun and Moon demo has now been released for Nintendo 3DS - and has been immediately datamined for the upcoming games' full Pokedex size.
Everything that follows could be considered a spoiler for Pokemon Sun and Moon - if you want to go into the games fresh, I suggest leaving this page now.
Datamining suggests that there will be 800 Pokemon in the Sun and Moon Pokedex, and has revealed monster and item sprites, new moves and abilities.
While not every sprite is included in the demo, it appears that we now know that all Alolan form Pokemon will come from the original 151, there will be 8 of the mysterious Ultra Beasts (which continue to appear to be separate from regular Pokemon) and that the game's Legendaries will have pre-evolutions.
