good times, good on you kespa and blizz. Funny statements in the press release but it was a given.
Do you really want chat rooms?

Doesn't Flash make a $250,000 salary, no counting cash and prizes from tournaments. TSL just announced that some of their best players are now making $30,000. Regardless of game fanboyism, from a business perspective Flash would be nuts to give up on the gravy train he has worked his way into.

i feel like Blizzard only bit their tongue for this agreement because they are realizing how bad SC2 is doing in Korea without Kespa.

Sad that they couldn't put their immaturity and pride aside earlier and made this agreement before giving 2 years to Gretech..

Well KeSPA did say there that they are planing to go into Sc2 as BW has no chance to become a global e-sport again. I guess its possible that he is delusional but I doubt it. I just hope that Blizzard don't give "exclusive" contracts to anyone.

so that 2 years thing with Gretech, can it be shortened?

Anyway, nice that this has finally come to a conclusion.

Hahahah what fluff. Makes me wanna puke from reading all of it.

Glad to see everything finalized and settled though! Yeeeahhh Brood War! \o/


haha my sentiments exactly. I hope Broodwar can still extend beyond the two years though, but I'm glad its settled for now and that leagues can go unhindered(lolwat they were anyway).

Preferably I'd want BW to remain an independent scene at least until both SC2 Expansions are out and final balance issues are done. (5years at the going rate)

Besides... 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.
"To all eSports fans, I want to be remembered as a progamer who can make something out of nothing, and someone who always does his best. I think that is the right way of living, and I'm always doing my best to follow that." - Jaedong. /watch?v=jfghAzJqAp0
