Well, whatever that works in the audience's interest.

Maybe this is just a delay tactic for all we know.

More like Blizzard is blackmailing all parties with the death of BW/esports and Kespa is the only one holding out. The thing is, even if they fold it's dead, don't even pretend Gretech/Blizz will be bothered coming up with a new webcast only proleague system. It'll be back to amateur everything... I wish Blizzard would invest in making foreign pro esports viable rather than trying to takeover/exploit the scene in korea.

It's still pretty depressing that this partnership with Gretech by Blizzard was essentially back room deal in order to undercut KeSPA, OGN, and MBC. Nobody seems innocent right now... which is probably the most saddening of this. People who are siding with one side or another because they are seen as a "good guy" seems foolish. For the most part it is pretty obvious that everybody is at fault some how, or has reasons that are not just "for the fans." While we fans might be the "pure ideal" that these groups seem to want to protect... the fact of the matter is that we fans are also being underhanded in our ideas of who deserves to "win" (if you can call it a victory). People who say "F*** Blizzard and their copyright law/DRM," well, they do have a right to do whatever the hell they want to their game. If you don't want to buy it, that's your responsibility to go through with that. As far as I know though, the original Starcraft didn't have any special things that say "you must sign an agreement to make a channel for this game," though any U.S. court would probably say, "they have had their rights abridged," even if this was the case. Also, for anybody who says that KeSPA has no rights or whatever... Blizzard didn't try to get involved with Korea's E-Sports scene until 2006/2007. They can't use the defense of "for the fans," when they didn't give a shit about the fans they had in Korea of a (by then) 6-8 year old game until after their merger (and years of World of Warcraft flooding their coffers mind you).

In any case, it's a mess... nobody is totally innocent (hell even I have a damn bias...). The only thing that matters is the end result.
Common qualms are my nemesis.

The news says OGN did speak with Kespa already and seems Kespa agreed to talk to Gretech. If they can come to an agreement not much will change for BW. Well besides that Blizzard/gretech have some influence on kespa of course but they don't stop broadcasting... What do you mean with back to amateur everything?

Dude, your analysis is pretty much completely wrong. Blizz tried to get in earlier then that. Even before that though, they were fixing the game. SC/BW was not an amazing game when it first came out.

The have is plural so I'm guessing OnGameNet AND KeSPA will talk to Gretech. KeSPA has received a lot of hate, but we shouldn't give up on them.



What are you talking about. Have is obviously referring to OGN only.

Great news, I don't know how much OGN/MBC liked kespa in the first place so things are looking bright for sc proscene now.

You know that the news is directly translated by the OP right? So there can easily be grammatical errors and oversights. Probably shouldn't delve so much into syntax and semantics.

What a slowly unfolding drama. Hehe. I guess we'll only know shortly before new osls/msls start.

From previous articles we know Gretech/Blizzard have absurd demands and dont want to negotiate. Now that they are talking its basically OGN caving in and accepting some of the crap that they want. Either way, OSL is making a turn for the worse.
