I remember Jaedong saying when his parents put him up for free agency that money had nothing to do with the fact that he was playing Starcraft and that he was in Hwaseung OZ. I really respect him for that. He loves the game and he loves his team. I doubt he has to complain about his salary though ^^. To be honest I got more respect for the guys that are progamer and dont get paid as much as the top. | ||

Hopefully now, we dont have anymore SC2 vs BW and people can chill out, BW is not going anywhere (anytime soon) and people can relax on all fonts | ||

Well we'll see now that everything works out if OGN MBC and Kespa will take star2 to it self at some point From what I read here on TL, a lot of the korean netizens were siding with Blizzard, not KeSPA. I could be wrong since all my knowledge is secondhand, but I don't think Blizzard's rep was getting worse. | ||

silly Blizzard for giving exclusivity to Gretech! They're probably kicking themselves now that the opportunity has arisen to have TELEVISED tournaments on OGN and MBC.... which would put them worlds ahead IMO. Gotta wait 2 years now before even considering that option, at which time we will see if SC2 has kept up with the passion of BW. Anyways, great news for e-sports in general, and I'm mostly excited at the fact that BW will live on! LONG LIVE BW!!! I really don't mind sc2 thriving at all, so long as BW keeps on going | ||

I don't understand all the comments about "omg, so much bullshit and clichés!!!!1111111one". - What did you expect, KeSPA's chairman coming out hot saying: "Yoyoyo bitches, after some fucking around we have finally agreed with the little blizzard-hoes, keep it real, contract for two years yo!"??? Its business, and therefor also treated as such. | ||

Keep telling yourself that. Blizzard lost the case by every means possible. They did not get everything they wanted -- for example, KeSPA is allowed to resell licenses all they want without any restrictions. That is actually good news for all of you since it means that KeSPA is allowed to sell streams so we might be able to get better streams again. From what I read here on TL, a lot of the korean netizens were siding with Blizzard, not KeSPA. I could be wrong since all my knowledge is secondhand, but I don't think Blizzard's rep was getting worse. They weren't siding with anyone, they just dislike KeSPA. Doesn't mean they think Blizzard is "right" by any means. But yeah, Blizzard's rep wasn't getting worse by any means. | ||

Plus, won't happen for a year or so anyway. Sudden Attack iirc is pretty popular too. | ||
