I would love to see all the pro powerhouse start to have SC2 team in their team, and if it happens then e-Sports will really taking off. I see that many people see this issue as SC2 vs SC1, but I don't think so. It's all about money, period. And I do afraid if Blizzard win, then eSports will take a huge hit to say the least. | ||

The whole thing started months ago, WHERE THE F**** have u been? I wonder whats gonna happen to Proleague 10-11, seems like its not gonna evolve as planned, thats really sad news; on the other hand if Proleague ends I expect more Sc1 pros switching to SC2 so we can have better games at future GLS tournies. | ||

Is it really that hard for you to at least be civilized and direct him to OP without criticizing him? | ||

I understand you are trying to be cynical, but this is one of the worst ways this could be resolved and they willingly chose to do it. Might have been a long term disaster, which at least I don't know. The imminent effects can be seen here in this thread, and most of us were huge Blizzard fans. What does it have to do with cynicism? The free market drives companies to seek every advantage they can. | ||

It is cynical, because bad business moves which are unethical and damage your own business are bad from a capitalist standpoint. The unethical part here is synonymous with the damaging the business part here, not because unethical behaviour is frowned upon in general. And in the long term, antagonism from major E-sports supporters and of the only E-sports industry in the world is NOT good for business. | ||

Blizzard not enforcing it for a couple years doesn't mean they still don't own it. Imagine how pissed disney would get if some company went around selling micky mouse stuff for 10 years and then claimed that they owned it since they built a community around it for 10 years. 10 years is a short time and time doesn't matter anyway when it comes to this stuff. Yes kespa helped sc1 become popular, but they did it without the blessing of blizzard and when blizzard came to give them their blessing for a price, they refused and even cancled gretech stuff by forcing the players to not participate. Blizzard will win, no matter what anyone thinks. That's a horrible example, though. You example would make sense if it a theatre doing a play for 10 years where the actors all wore Mickey Mouse customer, requiring people to pay to see the play. As a result, more people bought and wore Mickey Mouse customes. As their play was built around using the Mickey Mouse customes, the theatre heavily resisted when Disney ordered them to stop the doing the play where they used the Mickey Mouse customes. Whether or not Blizzard have the legal rights, the problem lies in how IP rights can be used very aggressively, to an extent where it doesn't seem fair or reasonale. The product is the tournament, the skilled players, the coverage, not the game of Starcraft itself. They have paid for the copies of the game they use to carry out the tournaments. As people have commented many times before, it's as absurd as trying to patent a sport - something everything is supposed to be able to use freely becomes limited due to the silliness of the legal system and aggressiveness of corporate goons. | ||

but this doesnt mean i have to accept what lizzard is doing. I dont have to blindly worship them for making "awsome" games. I dont care that KeSPA made many mistakes. They were the funding stone of true esport. And great company Blizzard transformed into Activision Blizzard, the mutated version of previous, glorious form. The company that cares about IP rights when it comes to fighting with Korean PL, and in the same time copycated many ideas and design from warhammer or WH40k universes. I wont support SC2, if it live or die, i dont really care. Esport is what i really care and they dont want to turn sc2 into real esport, so i'm not going to support this noir diablo 3 noir any other active lizzard product. This is the thing they cannot sue me for. the rest may enjoy the games and pay if they really want. I dont. | ||

No matter how much we hate kespa most of us here like broodwar and it's not really that bw stalls sc2 from happening. The games seems to be good enough to have captured a lot of peoples interest and the scene is growing so fast (so many players, streams and tourneys). So bw is not doing much harm to the sc2 scene at all. So forget about all the shortcomings of kespa and support broodwar: the players, teams, tournaments and tv channels, which basically sums up to kespa. | ||
