Wait what happened in the last few days to make Blizzard decide to sue? I thought they were content to just let the PL season continue as long as negotiations between KeSPA and Gretech continued?


Now that I type that out it sounds like a completely separate issue. Jesus this whole thing has gotten complicated.

Yeah, it is. Lotsa people are cuz they want BW to stay. The end of BW in SK meaning the end of eSport altogether. I HIGHLY doubt that the Korean companies would want to be in total control of a foreign company.

Blizzard:
Neutrally Arbitrate IP Negotiations,
Sue MBC and OnGameNet. :D

PS. So
Big Korean Companies + Korean Judicial System + Legal Gray Area = Blizzard really thinks they have a chance?.

i dont see blizzard coming ahead in any way in court, what they want has gone beyond common sense from long ago, this is just the last desperation move from blizzard, hopefully it will fail

The faster this bullshit is overturned the better. And even if they lose, the Korean government is pretty serious to remain no.1 in esports. They will probably make a law against it.

SC2 esports will suck until Kespa can gun their own league. And SC BW esports will die if Blizzard gets their right. Plus the hundred millions of esports sponsorship money will be used to sponsor different things. Maybe F1 or something.

Developers automatically owning any esports league/esports player/esports broadcasting rights through IP laws/ELUA is the death of esports.

.................................................

they never cared before, now suddenly with the release of sc2 they want to bring up these "ip rights" so so sad


I could understand this argument but, then again before SC2, Korean BW leagues really didn't affect Blizzard's revenue. With the release of SC2 sadly now broadcasting of Proleague DIRECTLY affects viewers watching GSL for example. If the people watching Proleague would watch GSL is another argument but, now you basically have one companies products directly competing against each other. While Blizzard could deal with that if they were getting money from BW, since they aren't, they feel their only option is to stop the broadcasting.

I don't blame them and we'll see the fallout.

I still wonder about exactly what happened when Hanbitsoft was the Blizzard distributor (rights holder?) in South Korea and part of the scene (even sponsoring Stars), and if the rights were somehow revoked?
