Just to get this thread back on track...Flash will miss the offline qualifiers by 12 hours at most. Do we really want 12 hours to be what keeps Flash out of the first KSL? Remember that he will eventually have to serve in the military. This is a major tournament that we will never get back.

They are still a company after all and BW history isn't so old that the past can be easily forgotten.


I don't agree with this general tone where people think it's obvious that Blizzard has this long history of wrongdoing to "atone" for.

They were clearly in the right regarding the broadcast rights dispute with KeSPA. Remember, KeSPA basically ceded total defeat. Blizzard's claims regarding their IP rights is basically the undisputed industry standard today with every broadcaster, production company, and game publisher. Unless you hold very radical views about intellectual property in general, across every field and industry, then you can't fault Blizzard there.

I think BW fans want to believe that it was Blizzard who forced KeSPA to switch StarCraft II after the IP dispute ended in 2012. However, it could just as easily be claimed that KeSPA was making a desperate move to try and keep StarCraft esports going. However, there's basically no credible reporting regarding what went on behind the scenes, so it's just speculation either way.

The credible grievance is the supposed $100,000 licensing fee Blizzard charged AfreecaTV to hold ASL, as claimed by AfreecaTV. This sounded absolutely ludicrous to me at the onset, but after hearing mixed accounts from people in the scene, I've become more willing to give it some credence. As far as Blizzard refuses to squash the claim publicly, then BW fans are entitled to crush them for it.

[Ofc if you're not just talking about esports, and pointing out SC:R and its bugs and lack of features, then I'll step out of the way]


After Blizzard had all other possible recourses shut down, yes, it could be argued that KeSPA alone came to the conclusion that professional Brood War was no longer worth persuing. However, if you are being intellectually honest, and have read all the official announcements from KeSPA before Blizzard broke them down, it is clear as daylight that Brood War was by far the main point of focus for KeSPA, and they clearly expressed having zero intentions of scraping everything for a gaming product that had utterly failed to captivate the Korean gaming community by large at the time of the switch.

The entire professional Brood War scene came about due to a blatant disregard for those intellectual property right laws you hold dear. Almost everything that we discuss today on these forums, are derived from content from people who were involved heavily in unauthorized activity that we called the Brood War e-Sports scene. The way you emphasize how Blizzard will forever be immune from all criticism due to the legalities make it sound like you couldn't wait for the legal wrong to be corrected, because who cares about competitive Brood War except for those delusional Brood War fans, right?

It is an irrefutable fact that professional Brood War wouldn't have ended in 2012 in such a ham-fisted manner without Blizzard's involvement with the industry at the time. Perhaps a legal wrong that went on for over a decade was corrected, but at what cost? It was a Pyrrhic victory if I ever saw one. If anything, it was Riot Gaming that benefitted the most from Blizzard's heavy involvement with the Korean e-Sports scene, not KeSPa, not the fans of Brood War, and not even Blizzard themselves.

Considering the colossal level of fuck-ups Blizzard has been responsible for in the past, a little apprehension is to be expected, really.

pretty much what I was trying to say. Folks are free to celebrate this and all, it's good news for sure, but I'm cautiously optimistic about what this means for the scene and how it will effect everything, including ASL.

the legitimacy pretty much gets thrown out the window. They'll always be questions of "If Flash participated etc..."

I hope Blizzard learns from their mistakes with trying to steer everyone to SC2 (which in my personal opinion is part of why we lost KeSPA) and simply launches this tournament in a vacuum, with a "live and let live" approach to the smaller independent tournaments. As they said, this won't interfere with ASL. So hopefully they won't go headhunting for those $500 pot low level tournies.

What a joke... The /whereis command is broken between regions and the admins were unresponsive. Basically all the foreigners (except eon) were DQ'd while sitting in the KSL channel.

Should have kept my expectations in check considering the entire prize pool is basically afreeca's fee paid for ASL5.

All while blizz dumps Millions$ into a dying SC2 that can barely be given away. Very disappointing.
