They do for the short term definitely, its unknown if this matter will be beneficial to them in the long run if worse comes to worst. If BW dies, it potentially bodes well for SC2 (as stated earlier), though it depends on how netizens take the news and how much blame blame Blizzard takes for the whole debacle. I expect that the fall of KeSPA and death of BW by a foreign entity won't bode well with national pride and a decade of devotion to esports. Its largly because of the Korean esports scene that BW ever got that big (competitively), and in return the fact that SC2 is as popular as it is today. | ||

After all, it's not like Blizzard/Gretech broke off communications. It's just MBC being cheap as usual, always claiming to be so poor, so poor etc. even though they never seem to die according to their prognostications. I think MBC just wants a cheaper price. | ||

This isn't about Flash or any players. This is just that from a pure fiscal perspective, Blizzard has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Well Blizzard has still an image to lose. But seems more and more that they don't care anymore and are now just another video game company. I also think Blizzard can pack their bags in korea when all Bw leagues die...would hurt them more than it would help( But yea they have Gretech now to do the dirty work for them). I would laugh if Gretech loses when it goes to court, but well court proceeding could take several months to years. FU! | ||

One sided? It was 2-3 in the last finals, with them going 1-2 for MSL finals. What're you talking about? | ||

If this happens it will be a HUGE turning point in E-sports history, freeing E-sports from the game producer is a mandatory step for it to continue it's growth | ||
