No, the original Korean source doesn't use a definite tone. It seems likely given other articles in the past about the subject but 1) details are hazy 2) SDM added a lot of weird stuff. Just wait for an official statement from blizzard or KeSPA | ||

Maybe GOM having SCBW rights in the first place was probably just to scare ogn/mbc to agree on their demands? It's more complicated than that, but it has more to do with Blizzard realizing that they can't compete in Korea any more and they don't have the manpower to handle it since half the blizzard korea members apparently left for another company among other things. | ||

Despite that,SK will remain the capital for quite a long time. The infrastructure etc is not there yet in Western countries. | ||

Does this mean the future of OSL/MSL is guaranteed? | ||

In addition to rumors that details will be revealed for the Diablo 3 beta at this conference call, I have a feeling that there might be some interesting information about Blizzard's dealings with the Korean scene as well. Perhaps more details will be revealed this evening when the broadcast of that conference call occurs. Anyways, it's going to be an exciting time as we hear more about this settlement. | ||

Ongament, and MBCgame will be at liberty to produce and sell starcraft contents, and open starcraft tournaments. Anyone have an idea whether this is for both SC and SC2? | ||
