EPTIt's difficult to say anyone's really in this to save E-sports. No matter how you look at it, everyone is trying to preserve their own existence. It just so happens that Gretech is the one asking for money and KeSPA is the one refusing to pay it.

No matter how you look at it, everyone is trying to preserve their own existence. It just so happens that Gretech is the one asking for money and KeSPA is the one refusing to pay it. GOMTV StarLeague was doing fine until Gretech sided with Blizzard, which KeSPA were already at odd with (read about the way Blizzard treated KeSPA in their "negotiations" and what sort of demands they had). Not to mention the fact that several of the teams that withdrew from the league had valid reasons. There were maybe 2-4 teams that 99% boycotted the league out of political reasons (imo justified anyway) - SKT (because Gretech sided with KeSPA) and eSTRO (owned by IEG), OGN and MBC (conflict of interest). | ||

I though that KeSPA did not refuse to pay, but just didn't agree to change PL schedule? | ||

Hardly a big fee? for a game which is more then a decade old and made sc scene famous as now it is??? for a game which has been the biggest and the best ads for blizzard, if not in the entire history of gaming industry? Without sc, sc2's sale would be at maximum 1/10 of what blizzard already sold. The Blizzard should reconsider this step with gretech seriously. When they kill scbw, its not only a game, but hundreds of gamer are involved who are the real innocent victims. Its just a suggestion: How about when SPL teams have players for scbw AND sc2? e.g.; Day1 of SPL: Ro1, 3,5 and ace => scbw ; Ro2,4,6 => sc2 Day2 of SPL: Ro1, 3,5 and ace => sc2 ; Ro2,4,6 => scbw | ||

EDIT: To NaDa being banned, and him being retired by Kespa, not him switching to SC2. | ||

WeMade offered him another contract, he refused because he didn't want to stay a BW progamer and wanted to move to SC2. The retirement announcement on KeSPA's page is generic, they are not out to get NaDa. Check out the other player retirement announcements and you will see that they are all worded the same (ex 1, 2, 3) | ||

Google translate is a bit ambiguous for me =/ First para: change in status of progamer (pro to amateur/retired) by personal request. Second paragraph is a list Kespa provisions/articles that states you're ineligible for certain tournaments once the change in status takes effect. Remaining paragraphs are Nada's registration details. Kespa didn't ban him, the request was made by the progamer himself. It's a generic announcement for anyone who wants to retire. Progamers who have gone into army make the same requests. | ||

NaDa announced he will participate sc2 tourney, not he would quit progamer if kespa didnt kick him out, why did they delete all of NaDa's game scores, records and data? you can find all other retired players' record in kespa site. what d ya think that means? someone is not using his brain... | ||

Dude, get a grip. To be a progamer, you have to be on a KeSPA sanctioned progaming team. NaDa did not renew his contract with WeMade because they do not have an SC2 line-up. | ||

(Unless it's under a different name than posted in the retirement page) Even Tester still has his record on there, and hes far from being part of a KeSPA sanctioned progaming team. | ||

Just because you "retired" (as long as honorably, unlike Ma Jae Yoon) doesn't mean your records and achievements would be deleted... Edit: In addition, KeSPA recently added a new rule that states, any KeSPA "sanctioned" progamers participating in a non-KeSPA sanctioned games will be banned from playing any KeSPA sanctions gamed for -3 years-. As a result, NaDa will be banned from playing on any KeSPA sanctioned games for next 3 years. | ||

There is no justification for that, why would an organisation have the power to control which games you're allowed to play. When they play big bucks to employ you, and what ur doing is practically advertising for the direct competitor, i guess that count as reason. Although i thought they should have at least let him finished the match. I dont know i think you are taking "being professional" too lightly. You cant really wear Pepsi T-shirt while advertising for Coca-cola u know? ( assuming you are employed by them ofc). Or does your company holds no right to what you can or cannot wear either? | ||

Let him do what he wants, after all they allowed him to fly there and play, no? And later decided to change their mind. | ||
