the only problem i see is that they won't be taking over kespa-ran stuff on the schedule (so osl/msl/pl/sf pl)

hopefully though, we'll see small tournaments being run in timeslots that are used for games like kartrider, sudden attack etc.


Unlikely, since OGN i know for a fact is getting paid to hold kartrider leagues by Nexon. Plus, won't happen for a year or so anyway.

Sudden Attack iirc is pretty popular too.


any idea what will happen with wcg then? will ogn be forced to delegate broadcasting the sc2 portion of the competition to gretech or what?

if mc jun and co did sc2 commentary i'd start listening to them over tastosis =[.

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.


I have to say this... not this argument again. Makes me feel like if we someday end world hunger and get world peace, there's gonna be some smartass going on both sides: well we got everything we wanted and you didn't!

Great news by all counts. Thx for the translation.
Too tired to come up with something witty.

For those saying this has nothing to do with SC2: It's no coincidence that this contract is up for renegotiation (won't that be fun) right around the time GOM's exclusive SC2 license expires. It's possible Kespa could end up in charge of the Korean SC2 scene in a few years.

Now Blizzard needs to patch BW to be bug free when being played in Vista

Patch increase build speed time of scouts and lessen its cost to 150/100.

It is a a LOT of work and a very expensive process to patch a game as old as BW, as not that many people who made the game still work in that capacity.

Or so Ive been told, and it makes sense I think.

Looking at what Blizz has done to Diablo 2 in the past few years, no sane person would want them anywhere near "balancing" or bug fixing of the game..

You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Man, I really need my illegal Brood War fix. Glad to hear this news, not sure what it changes though.
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.

I really don't have any interest in watching competetive SC2, BW is just so much more entertaining to watch imho.

So all of this: Great news!

It's great to hear. I'm hoping they can help make BW streams more accessible to foreigners.
