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. The point of bias isn't so much that it's against SC2, but that it's an unsourced claim relative to the story. It's not "sources close to the negotiation" it's not "Blizzard has said" it's not even "Kespa has said", it's "believed to have arrived due to SC2's failure to be embraced". Who is the one who believes this to be true? It could just be an imprecise translation into English, but it makes the article sound like it is either the author or webizens that believe that, which could be far from the truth. That's why I said I believe the stalemate is over, but will wait to see the real reason why. | ||

The agreement is believed to have arrived due to starcraft2’s failure to be embraced by the Korean fans. This I have a really hard time believing. Since by signing the contract they are subject to renewals (major point of contension) and it comes with obligations to put a Blizzard logo on everything they produce and likely with secondary obligation to not bad mouth any Blizzard products. However I don't think either party at this point wanted this to go to trial. This is worth a whole lot more to Blizzard than the paltry Licensing fees, so my guess is that Blizzard might have slacked on some other terms in light of Foreign SC2 having a good scene building. I think it's safe to say that everyone wins. | ||

Look beyond the graphics man, look beyond the graphics.... Lol Reality moves on to SC2. He does a double proxy rax into hellions, into hellion drops, into viking harass, into 4 rax stim timing push.... Trust me if they wanted to move to SC2 they would have probably done so already. There are already some B-teamers who have left their teams to play SC2. | ||

It depends on the match really...if its like SKT vs OZ or something,sure its alot more. I doubt there would be full attendences at ACE vs Woongjin for example. | ||

So as long as bw is running good for them they have no need to expand. OGN and MBCGame do actually have a lot of airtime that could be filled. You have to keep in mind that these are 24/7 channels and while they do have games other than BW, much of that time could easily be allocated to SC2 programming. | ||
