The scheduled court date on the 13th has been delayed, the reason being the three parties, ongamenet,mbcgame, and Blizzard coming to an agreement. Three parties are currently discussing the terms for a brighter future of e-sports in Korea. Ongament, and MBCgame will be at liberty to produce and sell starcraft contents, and open starcraft tournaments. Both tv networks have agreed to give exposure to blizzard with the logo, and the license fee will be given to Blizzard each year, the fee is unspecified at this time. Initially Blizzard requested an unreasonable amount of at least \0,00,000,000? a year(proleague-both individual leagues included)and Kespa rejected the offer. The dispute over the intellectual property rights surfaced when Blizzard gave GOMTV the exclusive rights over starcraft 1 and 2. The agreement is believed to have arrived due to starcraft2’s failure to be embraced by the Korean fans. We can certainly hope that the Korean e-sports looks brighter than ever!" #finally edit: can a mod please edit the headline ("Dispute") Haha, knew it. | ||

Eh, it still would be nice to have a bit of crossover between the SC2 and BW scenes. Once the animosity between the authorities of the two scenes dies down, I think it would be healthy for both scenes to start interacting with one another more. | ||

I would like to see a more neutral announcement (maybe when the deal is actually signed).

Fomos is by far the most Blizzard-friendly e-sports news site. DES and others are far more pro-KeSPA than Fomos, so if you're hoping to see something more neutral, you aren't going to be satisfied. | ||

I think it may just be the truth. SDM visited the startale house some time ago and the players (esp. July) talked pretty open to him. they were sad sc2 didnt get the attention they hoped for and once you are out of GSL, there is nothing in Korea. Lets hope some things change for good now. look here for background infos | ||
