EPTA personnel of MBC Game has stated that "The monetary amount Gretech is requesting is a lot higher than the amount we were thinking. Also, they are demanding that we must make a contract for every contest that uses Starcraft, so they are arguing that we have to pay the licensing fee for both Bigfile MSL and Gyongnam STX Cup. Because of that, it is more difficult for us to reach a conclusion than Ongamenet". He added that "We will continue to negotiate for the safe operations of our leagues"

If they're being truthful in their statement, that would solve the problems that they've been having. | ||

*The pie you want should cost .... around $8.95, right?* *Upon arriving in the frozen aisle, you are astonished to see your pie will cost you $130.00* <You> Well, screw that I'll just make it myself from scratch. *Upon tallying up all the costs for pie ingredients, its still going to cost you $110.00* *You now must make a decision to either be down WAY more money than you logically should be, or go pie-less.* <Friend> Man, well I just bought a pie but damn was it expensive. You gonna get one? *Not being able to function/live without pie, you try to negotiate with the store, but the store is run by dick-heads with barely any intelligence.* *Your family at home reminds you that you will need more pies in the upcoming months as well.* I don't care who the "proverbial pie" "belongs" to. This sucks for the BW community. | ||
