SOADFans: System of A Down - To Appear on ' Korea Game League Opening |

Youngkwang Wi, the producer of Starcraft broadcasting company Ongamenet, was sponsored with the theme song for the opening sequence of Pro Game League in Korea . The music used for the opening sequence was B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Bombs) by SYSTEM OF A DOWN. The song has not been released public yet, it has only been posted on the band's website currently.
SYSTEM OF A DOWN reportedly wanted it to be used so badly, as they have been fans of the Ongamenet Starcraft Game League Programs, and were very impressed with the opening sequence of last year's league, Sky Proleague 2004 Round 3, and wanted their song to be used in the upcoming sequence.
SYSTEM OF A DOWN asked Sony Music to help out, and Sony Music Korea obliged, asking PD Wi for "sponsorship" of the opening sequence.
It is a very rare incident that SYSTEM OF A DOWN has directly asked for the use of their songs in a video game, breaking the rules of not offering their music to any use and keeping it secret from the public. Wi says "I got a contact from Sony/BMG Music Entertainment that they wanted to sponsor a song for the upcoming ProLeague opening sequence" and "I listened to the song and liked it a lot so I used it."
