I don't think that's true at all, Koreans are the best at the game, but the success of MLG, Dreamhack and even NASL has proven that the foreigner audience is here, and if the audience is there, sponsors will come, and if teams can get financial support, they can create environments to foster talented players.

If Korea really closes off to Foreign events they aren't doing themselves any favours IMO.

If Korea closes off nobody wins.

Agree 100% @_@.

If it wasn't for Korea, notably in brood war. The sponsors would not pay so much for sponsorship. Because the vision wouldn't be there.

Its not a play on "Well without korea MLG wouldn't exist".. Facts are it would be behind by a few years and not nearly as successful. Koreans have done the ground work for the industry. We should respect that. They also do it best.


I can't argue with any of that, but the point is SC2 is booming global and the interest is really overshadowing Korea, basically, Korea shouldn't overplay their hand here, doing something like forcing players wanting to participate in GSL to join an association and not be let into foreign events would just be plain stupid on their part.

This would never happen and Mr. Chae would never let it happen so there's no point talking about it.

They are all to blame. EG, Puma, Lee !

EG : for not communicating with the coach before/after he went on a public rant.

Puma : for telling EG not to communicate with Lee, and that '' he would handle it ''.
EDIT : This for me is the worst of the 3 because he KNOWS what korean culture is like and KNOWS how his team/coach will feel, not to mention korean netizens. It seems like a bad call on his part.

Lee : for PUBLICLY ranting on EG/Puma without before getting in touch with EG

It seems not so long ago Team Liquid(Tyler) got angry at EG(incontrol) for just the same thing - EG had said/Ommited certain details PUBLICLY ( in TL forums ) and Tyler and others got mad that they went and did that publicly instead of first talking with them !

^ UPVOTE
v DOWNVOTE

This is a very intelligent post. I agree with it wholeheartedly. It is interesting that EG is angry that they weren't consulted for their side of things in Milkis' post when not too long ago, they were defending the exact same practice in regards to the TL/Master's Cup controversy. Seems kind of hypocritical.

And what other shows was he supposed to go on??

there was 1 show that evening, and it was WoC. if he was to wait SotG, you would hate on him for waiting 2 weeks, instead of 18 hours.....

A lot of trouble across the board, I can't help but agree with TLO and BoSS. Voices of reason in troubling times, I can't help but respect EG less with this decision. I hope to see an official announcement or press release from them soon, as a "professional" organization should release in troubling times where they are quickly getting a lot of bad PR.

Today's episode of WOC was the first time I've ever been really annoyed while watching/listening/reading anything on the internet SC2 related. This Alex Garfield guy was really a first rate tool on the show and really made the situation a lot worse. His passive aggressiveness was unbelievable.

Forget shows, how about just a sensibly written statement on their site/TL?

The fact that Alex came out and basically insulted one of the more prominent members of the TL community, when all he did was translate a statement that the TSL coach made to TL, plus the situation so far (all the facts we know now arn't out yet), is a pathetic stand, and is worsening their stand

Good read by both TLO and FXOBoSS (in the comments), its nice to see a relaxed and down to earth point of view on matters like this that will have a bigger effect on the SC2 scene the longer it goes on.

And yes, if we like it or not Korea is the "home" of SC-BW/SC2 as an e-sport and if its good "business behavior" or not all party's involved will do well to respect them.
excellent!

Later in the conversation Alex brings up the ambiguity of journalism with regards to the SC2 scene and the user driven content of TL. He accuses Milkis of claiming to be a translator but offering his own opinions along with translations. While there is a bit of fairness to that, and the role of journalistic integrity in eSports needs to be discussed(Hello Jen Schiller breaking every journalistic rule and intentionally misinterpreting and interview!) the fault for the lack of information lies entirely with EG. I'm practically foaming at the mouth that Alex had the gall to accuse Milkis of not getting a statement from EG.

First of all, as to how to handle TeamLiquid and it's newsbreaks, it would seem other teams don't have much trouble. When news broke out FXO buying fou, it took FXOBoss 31 minutes to post and clarify the situation on TL. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=245003&currentpage=7#126

When news broke of SixJaxMajor smurfing his way into a tournament, it took evoli 14 minutes to respond. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=244885&currentpage=2#22

Alex went out of his way to specifically mention that he read the forum posts. It would be bad enough if he simply chose to stay silent and let the misinformation spread. Alex would know infinitely more about running a professional eSports organization than I would, so perhaps there's a reason for the absolute information blackout. But instead of simply staying silent he accuses Milkis of not reaching out to EG to get a quote. While I think it could be successfully argued this isn't Milkis' responsibility, it's also outright false. Milkis asked scoots for his side of the story, twice, 18 hours ago. http://twitter.com/#!/OrangeMilkis/status/93956837665288192 http://twitter.com/#!/OrangeMilkis/status/93946564791373824


Thanks for this. I feel that this definitely shows that EG fumbled, and fumbled hard.
