EPTCame SC or BW with a end user agreement that denies organising events or broadcasting games?

Is koreans intellectual property law comparable to the US model?

If not, they supplement their income by coaching, or do something else. The same goes for most non-team olympic sports. Poker, Billiards etc: All the income is from tournaments with prize money. Boxing, chess etc: Matches are set up with a competitor (or his promoter) negotiating a fee for participating in a match (possibly with a bonus for winning). There are also tournaments with prize money. Many individual sports work under a team structure. Chess, amateur boxing, wrestling (the sport, not WWF) all have teams. Table tennis even has a champions' league similar to football or other team sports. It might be less well known but it has been running (under different names) since the 1960s. Teams might share coaches, training venues or other resources. In some sports almost every player plays for a team, in others, like athletics, most top players don't. I think the team structure makes a lot of sense for esports especially because it's underdeveloped. You can't build a sport on 5 professionals 20 semipros and many aspiring amateurs. At least I don't think you can. The only thing that needs to go is the rigid line between pros and amateurs. | ||

So that's kind of silly. I thought sc2 was good, but blizzard marketing and strategy is always worrying. Well, that's still selling one game for the price of three. The way theses companies sell "expansions" which are absolutely necessary to play a bit seriously and are more of a huge patch than a new game for the same price than the original is already what I call pure racket. Expanding the concept to THREE fucking games is thinking that people are idiots. Starcraft 2 cost 60 dollars. So that means that for playing the wole thing, you'll have to pay 180 dollars. I mean seriously. 180$ for a video game. And then they need to kill brood war to make money out of the pro scene. And they made the biggest profit in history of video game by selling a month rental on WoW. The whole Blizzard thing is a huge joke. I'd like to know the margin of their shareholders. Must be interesting. Well they can screw themselves, they won't get my money anymore. I'm feeling too old for this bullcrap. | ||

Some top players do play for multiple teams (i.e in different championships) but some players play for a certain club exclusively and probably get salaries instead of match bonuses. Just because the game itself is played between 2 players the match is still between the teams, just like in Proleague. | ||

Still, we've had enough drama over the last week or so. The impending court case can wait a bit longer. | ||

No one gives a fuck about BW dying or staying outside Korea. This is Korea's E-Sport scene. If this goes to courts, they will side with Koreans. Its a simple analogy. but some people still think blizzard has a chance at destroying Korean Culture with Korean Laws and Korean Courts. | ||

Hence it was a wise move for blizzard to hand over the negotiation reigns to GRETech, a legitimate korean firm. They now have a better chance than Blizzard vs KeSPA right? | ||
