All Kespa has against Blizzard is the fact that their progamers are forbidden from playing Starcraft 2. Blizzard has nothing to lose by suing MBC and OGN. could you please stop trolling on this thread | ||

After all he has done for bw scene and e-sports. he doesn't NEED to do something to show their loyalty. He could care less or not even think about it. The things he had done for the game until now is more than enough. I wonder if you gonna bash the emperor if they don't boycott gsl. | ||

however i honestly believe that the 2 cannot coexist at a high level. they can coexist to a point, which i'm sure people would be happy with, but if you want big gsl's and a proleague going on with equal hype one will die out eventually. there are virtually no b-teamers, why? because they want to go where the money is. you see bw is already almost dead in a sense, there are no second generation players, no b teamers and no nerds with dreams of becoming kings of the sc world. however if bw were to live on(which is quite impossible) sc2 would die. i personally wouldn't mind either becoming the next big thing since i think sc2 has a lot of potential and bw is amazing. foreigners don't count because honestly korea is the only stable esport country in the world | ||

They don't understand how at this point in time, Kespa is hurting the pro scene more than helping them by forbidding any of their players from playing in the GSL. | ||

The companies that make up Kespa have profited from advertising in BW, but Kespa itself hasn't. | ||

If Blizzard gets on the negative side of OGN/MBC by suing them, what is stopping a public backlash against that in Korea? I would understand Korean netizens' criticism of Kespa itself, but OGN and MBC are broadcasting companies. GomTV is the only broadcasting company with the rights to broadcast GSL. Once this boils up, all the efforts made by OGN and MBC in promoting esports (I am talking about the OSL and MSL, as well as the proleague, in BW) will be swept under the rug forcefully. What will the SC fans think of that, particularly in Korea? Dissent will grow against GSL and SC2 in particular. In a worst case scenario, the Korean government will shut down SC2 and GSL altogether. All SC fans will not benefit from this at all; we will be seeing the death of both BW and SC2 in South Korea. And what will be left for Blizzard? /startrant (Don't read at all) + Show Spoiler + F*CK YOU BLIZZARD, YOU GREEDY PANDERING IDIOTS! Stop lying about wanting to promote e-sports; you are only concerned about the depth of your own pockets. Stop feeding Bobby Kotick's ego. I am so glad I never bought SC2; I have been a spectator of BW for years and I wanted to be a fan of SC2, but with this fiasco happening now, I have lost faith in you. IP rights may be a big issue, but to go to such lengths so as to want to SHUT DOWN BW completely in favor of your own stupid SC2 game, you are a PR nightmare. Enjoy your downfall. /endrant | ||

In essence, this means that KeSPA is a separate organization created by the corporations with the sole intention of advertising. I'm not saying it's wrong to do that. I'm saying that it is wrong to claim that KeSPA is totally innocent and never does anything for itself but just for service. | ||

Any yet Blizzard ISN'T holding back esports by trying to ban anyone from participating in any further OSL's, MSL's, Courage Tournaments, or Proleague matches? | ||
