"The goal is to further increase the size of e-sports, as well as to make it more active through our involvement. To do this, it is important to create a strong relations with the players, teams, other broadcasting stations, and other partners, not just GomTV's own tournaments."

Hell yeah! Good news indeed!

As for the sub-licensing, "With this right, the rights holder will be able to select and negotiate a broadcasting station for a tournament or leagues. GomTV has the right to assign the sub-licensees, but we will not abuse it." At this point, GomTV stated, "For Proleague only, we are willing to allow OGN and MBCGame to broadcast without any additional negotiations."


This sounds so idiotic. Obviously, after proleague started they cant bark anymore and are too afraid to bring the case to court. I hope Kespa will revive MSL under their name.

Given that they were unable to stop proleague, I think the main obstacle that's standing in the way of MSL now is a sponsor. If MSL can get a sponsor, maybe MBC can get the tournament running.

To me it sounds like Gretech got owned by KeSPA and now try to make it look like they care about the BW scene to save face. What happened with their demands to change the PL schedual in order to not have any competition for their league? And didn't KeSPA already offer them 300 milion won for proleague?

Besides, how does letting only "serious broadcasters" (ie the ones that can pay money to Gretech) broadcast SC leagues strengthen the e-sports scene? I mean minorleague, zotac etc etc didn't exactly damage the BW scene... If they can't have their league because the competition is to strong, it's best for e-sports if they die. Hypocrites.

Does this finally quell the rumor of Gretech wanting to kill BW? Lol


Oh no now its Gretech "caving in" to most people. Gretech is still evil to most BW people atm.

I do hope they let at least the OSL as I do want at least 1 individual starleague and proleague ^^
When I think of something else, something will go here

Nice to see Gretech retrieving. There's no way a game can be a true eSport without it being free. The game needs to belong to the community, not the corporation. Sure there's a fee for getting the game, but that should be it. If Blizz had it its own way with SCBW, it would have never been what it is today, a true eSport.

you didnt understand that part
EVERYONE can make a tournament basically for free (1 won which is under 0,01€) while you have to pay 100 million won (about 90 000$) to broadcast a tournament on tv.
this is to allow amateur tournaments for everyone (pc band owners or something like that), but at the same time having a hurdle that has to be taken to show that your professional enough to create a decent broadcasted tournament.

That's what I meant, with these rules tournaments like Zotac (atleast how it was organized in BW) and minorleague won't happen. Why don't let anyone broadcast? - bad tournaments will die by them selves when they can't attract audience and sponsors. I bet they are just afraid that exactly that is going to happen to them. Very generous of them to let people have their own tournaments in pc bangs etc. Really, very generous.

why does everyone feel so happy about these statements? I mean, yeah sure, they seem to be allowing proleague. But - did everybody just read over all the other bullshit they are pulling here? paying money (i don't care if its just 1won) to make like anything at all, what is this? This serves absolutely no purpose other than having a good way of forcing weird contracts onto just about anything and making everything way more complicated than it needs to be. To me this sounds like a 10 year old child making up some weird arbitrary set of rules for something just because it thinks they are cool, except that gretech doesnt do anything to be cool but to keep some amount of control over it. Thats just totally ridiculous and nothing to be happy about i think.

So - yea, hurray proleague. But a giant "wtf is this shit?" on all the rest.

Gretech's (and, by extension, Blizzard Entertainment's) intention to steal or smother the professional BW scene has been clear for months. Empty praise for E-SPORTS is empty.
My strategy is to fork people.

They couldn't stop proleague from going ahead so I doubt they can stop OSL or MSL if OGN/MBC choose to ignore them. OSL is likely to happen but MSL is doubtful. My guess is that MSL has a problem with getting a sponsor.

I'm kinda confused, this seemed more like damage control to me than them giving their go ahead to the proleague. If anything the whole 'the money we receive will go to a scholarship ect" seems like they're trying to prempt the negative press they're going to get from trying to shut down the proleague.

Maybe I misread it, but I seem to be taking away something totally different from this than 90% of the people in the thread.

Yeah, I don't buy what's in the statement. Sounds like they just made up a bunch of excuses. But they're going to have to go to court if they want to shut down proleague. That's going to take awhile.

Best thing for eSports is to completely leave kespa alone and not start this shit in the first place if they really had that in mind. Nothing they've done is of benefit to esports.

It is so obvious that GreTech is afraid of going to court.
Hope OSL and MSL will also be fine.
