Would be awesome if the did, but I dont think KESPA would be ok with it. I didn't think they'd reach an agreement especially with Blizzard's/Kespa's attitude at the start of the dispute. | ||

guessing Blizzard gave up on 50/50 control of any Blizzard related content OGN/MBC produced and requiring OGN/MBC to go through Blizzard for final approval of the content On May 10 2011 01:08 xarthaz wrote: Why would they want to do that?

SC1 teams don't need to make SC2 squads Korean SC2 teams definitely do need a SC2 proleague system though for more team exposure and better potential for sponsorships. | ||

The GSTL was really popular, but GOM seems to consider team games a side show  IGN is thinking about a foreign team league though (and a foreign 2v2 league. That'll be interesting). Maybe that'll help the Korean scene get in gear. EDIT: I don't think the IPL Team League is as done a deal as I made it out to be, I just remember it from SOTG last week. | ||

GOM still have all the rights over SC2 which means that things is going to keep on going like they have been for the last year. | ||

SC2 is for failed foreigner semi-pros, keep SCBW for the real players, keep the SC2 stink out. I believe that this news is good for SCBW too, meaning that they can hold the SCBW legally/legitimately now. From the article, "The agreement is believed to have arrived due to starcraft2’s failure to be embraced by the Korean fans". That means they will focus more on SCBW rather than SC2. Long Live SCBW! | ||

What the heck are you talking about? I played sc2 when it came out and i had 1 friend who played with me. Almost a year later and now I have 8 friends who play the game and they all have started to watch pro games. From my perspective, the game is getting bigger and more popular. Unless there is an adequate replacement, sc2 is going to be popular for a loooong time. Maybe not in korea, but that doesn't matter to me. | ||

What he means is that it might go the way of the Warcraft III, which also was hugely popular, highly anticipated, money everywhere, but ended up being a shell of its former self, except in China perhaps, but Dota reigns supreme there, not Warcraft III itself. Sponsors realized that there was no money in it, so they pulled out, massivly, the bubble exploded, and now WCIII is merely a shadow of its former self. | ||

What he means is that he wants to turn the thread into yet another BW vs SC2 flamewar. Which he did quite successfully, not that it's hard. | ||
