To be honest I think this is playing out the way Activision-Blizzard wanted - Acitivision-Blizzard wanted a Korean company to act as their proxy to help them fight against the current pro BW structure and industry players, and Gretech appears to be fighting precisely those targets. I don't think Gretech can win the coming court battle though, or the other battles that might take place soon.

So it all comes down to court rulings?
Geez, what a mess.

if Blizzard truly is the company I have always thought they were, this is definitely the time they should step in and say something. it seems to me, that Gretech, and not Blizzard is mostly at fault for this mess.

Fuck yes. Fuck SC2 and fuck Gretech. Dirty greedy bastards with no respect, just dollar signs imprinted on their eyes. If progame teams boycott SC2 leagues then BW might just live on. Please God, swift justice!

Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore, it's Activision-Blizzard and that's a whole new beast.

haha that's true  I'm saying in general terms of course.

Intellectual property is no joke and BW progamers are in no way necessary for the success of SC2, so I would be afraid for the proleague. :-/

I will be so freakin' pumped if Kespa wins the lawsuit. Hopefully it doesn't come down to that, but I'm definitely on Proleague's side. What the hell am I gonna do at 2AM from now on?

This is all Kespas fault for not negotiating with Blizzard in the first place. They tried to get something for nothing and now they have to take what they are given. Seems fair to me. Don't forget that they cut GOM out of the picture in the same way they are getting cut out now. It's called Karma.

The way I see it, KeSPA kept this thing running and legitimized it by giving it a governing body and ensuring the support of the sponsors. They aren't exactly so bad. They fucked up at times, but kept it going through the years.

Hope kespa dies

My new sig commenting on a core issue that Activision-Blizzard supporters don't really seem to consider.
"If Activision-Blizzard uses/allows Gretech to kill professional Brood War, how do we know Acitivision-Blizzard won't kill SC2 when they release a new RTS or whenever they feel like it? Especially since with no LAN, SC2's kill-switch is unstoppable."
|
If gretech kills proleague I will erase everything sc2-related from my mind and avoid it like the plague.

you're missing the point.
yeah sure current bw S-class players would bring name value to the sc2 tourneys. however i have no doubt that there will be plenty of future sc2 players that will make a name for themselves.
the bigger issue is that the association of some of korea's largest companies such as KT, SKT, STX, MBC, samsung, etc (lots of influence and $$) are turning against gretech/GSL. if you think that is a small obstacle for gretech to overcome you are very mistaken.
