From Neogaf (we're not first with BW news?)

“We are preparring the legal documents right now. We will sue MBCGame”

Blizzard finally decided to use the last card in the esports dispute. They announced that they will now take legal measures.

Paul Sams the COO of Blizzard announced to the Korean Press at Blizzcon that they will begin to take legal measures in their esports dispute.

He said "It is the last thing we can do at this point. Its our last option. We will sue MBCgame in a few days and Ongamenet could get sued as well. We are preparring for the dispute and will request preliminary injunction to stop broadcasting."

Man Blizzard's never cared for esports until this year...why don't they drop it and just let Sc1 carry on its own path? It's really not like people are gonna watch Sc1 and because of that never look at sc2. If anything it draws in more people.

No surprise really, aw well, that sucks. Hopefully PL can finish this season at least. Wonder how much court costs are relative to what Blizz wants them to pay for broadcast rights.

Yeah, I don't care to see the same arguments we've been making for months but what's going on here? OGN finished negotiating...

Oh, I guess it's because they're broadcasting proleague. Interesting to see the different perspectives of that gaming forum and TL lol.

Finally, I feared they would chicken out. I am so happy now. Can't wait for Blizzard to get trashed in court.

And when they do win, esports just dies and I will be happy because of spite.

Now if Boxer and Nada have any honor and feel any loyalty to the industry they helped build up, they will boycott GSL from now on.

I don't know what is worse. That this actually is happening or that we are bound to get a massive amount of people here saying that this is a good thing.
