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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
