What would be exciting is if OGN/MBC started their own SC2 leagues. 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 =[.

Thank god the drama is over.

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.

I completely forgot about the WCG debacle,yes what will happen now??

finally this stuff is over...
took a long enough

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.

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..  On May 17 2011 15:39 BLinD-RawR wrote:Show nested quote +On May 17 2011 15:25 AndAgain wrote:

Yay! Its OFFICIAL now! Long live BW!
Gogo Flash, get the Platinum/Diamond mouse!

Okay, good news, but not unexpected given how the court case went.

Man, I really need my illegal Brood War fix. Glad to hear this news, not sure what it changes though.

This is good news! I'm happy kespa didn't back down.. activision should not influencing blizzards business decisions
|
Nice to see a conclusion. Two years from now should be interesting
|
gj kespa, was always pulling for a bw victory
thanks for the trans milkis

lol. What amazing PR responses. Still, gotta be happy this shit finally stopped, even though it seemed like OSL/MSL/SPL didn't give a shit, just continued their tournaments anyway

Hammerdins .. anyone :D

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!

Hmm?Gretech still has exclusive rights for 2 years, I am missing something in your post.

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