I imagine Twitch will stop operating Korean CDNs. It wouldn't make much sense to geo-block all Korean IP addresses, but with minimum service I expect Korean viewers to drop off pretty quickly. If the networks are as badly configured as the internet articles claim they are, foreign internet uplinks wouldn't be able to sustain decent quality video streams for very long. VPNs and such will always allow Koreans to watch Twitch content, but by taking money or paying out revenue, Twitch as a company would create certain expectations of service. Now, with no special effort put into Korean service, I expect Twitch to become essentially useless. Perhaps the Korean localisation team will slowly let more and more untranslated English strings slip into the UI, though they may decide to keep the Korean translations for the benefit Korean minorities outside of Korea.
