MYM announced they are disbanding. E-Stars competition in Seoul decided the ban all Blizz games. Korean e-sport media and organisers are beginning to team up against Blizzard. WCG2011 might not have any Blizz games.
If this is true, it seems that Kespa is willing to lose everything rather than team up with Blizzard?
I thought this was from back when Blizzard was suing OGN/MBCGame/KeSPA, but I thought they got the deal settled several months ago so that this stuff wouldn't happen.
E-Stars's ban was in recognition of the then-ongoing lawsuit. The rumors of WCG 2011 banning Blizzard games was from rumors of Samsung threatening to pull its WCG sponsorship due to their alignment with KeSPA against Blizzard during that same lawsuit.
Seeing how a deal was struck back in May, I don't think the WCG rumors will solidify, though E-Stars already commenced without Blizzard games anyways.

Yeah I was a bit confused, isn't it a bit late to change anything in WCG?

OGN is broadcasting SC2 China tour. And SC2 in China is... not doing well. Just look at big sites like sc2.plu.cn, most of the news article there has 0 comments. Unless Chinese SC2 fans hangs around in another place I do not know of. SC2 is showing signs of decline there.
Both Korea and China is still very much BW countries. And I don't see OGN doing this for foreign fans.

I do not know why they feel like they need to post it again. Maybe there were some new information since the March. I wasn't following this story back then.

Hmm... still sounds strange to me, esp since the Blizzard logo is now everywhere, including the Kespa website.
sc2 isn't unpopular in China. Not as popular as BW, but BW has a pretty small following there too. Comments on a website don't really offer too much imo. Get some numbers before you start subtly dissing sc2. I thought we agreed no BW>sc2. Doesn't that factor popularity talk as well? :/

May I ask where you get your Chinese SC2 info from? I personally only visits wfbrood and plu. Is there another site for better Chinese SC2 news?
EPT
seeing as OGN is set to broadcast SC2 and all.
