Err... I mean: What a kind and merciful gesture by king Gretech to allow it's lowly subjects to continue the Proleague! Sickening really, this type of business. | ||

The article does not mean to say that Gretech isn't interested in stopping "illegal" tournaments and leagues. Note how they reinforce the idea of IP rights and how important it is. KeSPA refuses to acknowledge any and all IP rights whatsoever involving StarCraft. So storm isn't over yet. Gretech is only willing to let Proleague etc. to continue only if negotiations are finalized. Otherwise... | ||

Yeah, but isn't 100k USD just mere pennies for major companies like this? It seems like that is a very small amount of money when you're talking corporations. | ||

Until the end they didn't want MBC to broadcast for trivial reasons. | ||

Right, but the rumors were that Gretech was imposing some unreasonable demands that KeSPA would never accept because they wanted to kill BW for SC2. Yet here are (in my opinion) pretty reasonable terms and the assurance that the BW Proleague is continuing on both MBC and OGN. The idea that KeSPA refuses to acknowledge anything means it'd be KeSPA killing other BW leagues, not Gretech. I just fail to see the intent to kill BW from Gretechs statement. (Assuming this is all true.) Though really, I hope KeSPA does acknowledge it so all BW leagues can continue alongside SC2 until, if ever, it dies of old age. | ||

I think it was in one of the news posts about the negotiations. Also, why is this post released now? If they really cared about the scene this could've come two weeks ago. There is nothing earth shattering in the document. Only when KeSPA went ahead with the SPL despite there being no contract and possibly facing a lawsuit do they decide to speak up. GomTV/Gretech are handling this like amateurs. Shows how much Blizzard really cares about BW. Kespa offered 300 million won I think | ||

Yeah, that was reported in one of the other threads. And it was stated that Gretech rejected the 300 million won. What gives? | ||
