People are still forgetting the last 'intellectual rights negociations' kespa got involved in. Remember when they demanded MBCGame and OnGameNet had to pay them money to broadcast proleague? They're a bunch of fucking hypocrits denying any form of intellectual rights payment. You could argue that Kespa is non-profit, that they dont earn anything off organizing proleague, and that if anyone should pay for proleague rights it's MBCGame and OGN, but Kespa has used its position as official proleague organizer to demand intellectual rights payments from MBCGame and OGN earlier, so they should step up to the plate now too. | ||

KeSPA players are already NOT participating. GSL is a StarCraft TWO league. KeSPA teams are BROOD WAR teams, with BROOD WAR players. Does Gretech fear that KeSPA will forbid those very BROOD WAR players from playing in a StarCraft TWO competition? It's explicitly said in the OP that Gretech's worried that ProLeague may damage GSL. Read before you post. And...the reason why no Kespa players are participating is because Kespa has banned any currently licensed progamers from playing SC2. People like Artosis, Idra, etc have discussed this. I can't believe the big corporate sponsors behind the pro-teams would allow this to happen, though. After all, aren't THEY supposedly the people pulling the strings behind Kespa anyway? I can't believe they don't they see the potential for profit in both BW AND SC2... | ||

They are paying millions of dollars to sustain those team. They have every right to forbid their players from participating in SC2 competitions (especially considering the whole situation with Blizzard/Gretech). What stops those progamers who do want to play in SC2 tournaments from finding another job and playing in GSL or such? | ||

Why would Brood War teams want people playing SC2? They are free to create seperate teams if they want, but why would you have people playing a different game in their BW teams.. players that cannot contribute to the team at all in practice or BW leagues. | ||

They fucked over Gom in the past, it's funny watching them try to play the victim in this scenario. They need to start cooperating with the intent to broadcast and promote both games equally or it's going to end very poorly for them, and us as fans of BW | ||

You really think that those huge corporate sponsors with their marketing gurus know nothing about future profits?, let me laugh, right now you need SC2 being succesful in spectator terms, and fyi even people who plays the game say that is fucking boring to watch, how can you know it is going to be apealling to the casual, massive audience? it is very uncertain. BW is a tested product that right now bring real profits (marketing) to the sponsors. | ||

Seriosly if they kill of BW proleague I will NEVER ever buy SC2 or any Blizzard product even if SC2 somehow becomes even better than BW I will never forigve that act of greedness. Just when i was thinking of buying SC2 in the near future this happens well thanks Blizzard for saving me 60$ and possibly 180$ . | ||

Honestly this is just drama, the game is Blizzard's intellectual property and if Gretech is responsible for it then proleague will be shut down since they are illegally broadcasting it. This is still really fucked up. Just pay some money, how can proleague be operating without profits. it makes no sense to me. | ||
