You do know that abc/nbc/fox/espn they all pay the NFL, NHL, MLB to broadcast games right? You're argument got debunked

There's so many fanboys on Blizzard's side here that would be on Blizzard's side no matter what.

All I can say is, asking royalties for broadcasting a game can only hurt esports more than it can help it. If anyone dreams of ever seeing a north american or an european SC2 proleague on TV, royalties to use the game would just kill any possible attempt to make any profit out of it outside Korea. Hell, I wonder if the whole SC1 proscene would have been possible in Korea if they had to pay royalties right from the start, when the game was young and still not that popular.
