Nothing they've done is of benefit to esports. Yeah, everybody was a little worried about whether SC2 would take a share of BW's popularity, but I don't think any of us foresaw Blizzard/Gretech actively working to do everything they can to destroy BW. Even if Gretech was to drop all this shit right now, I imagine a lot of damage has been done. The speculation has really cast doubt whether BW will survive in the immediate future, and probably has been a contributing factor in the demise of eSTRO, CJ, and maybe MBC teams. If the sponsors think BW's death is imminent, they won't invest, and so the whole system is coming apart even if Gretech never follows through with litigation. I don't like Kespa, but Blizzard/Gretech have pissed me off a lot more. | ||

Crude translation : Starcraft is NOT AN PUBLIC GOOD. It resulted from resources and manpowers that blizzard had invested, and GomTV, as the official partner of blizzard entertainment, has taken enourmous efforts to make contracts with the domestic partners, for that make it sure SC:BW leagues is legal. 곰TV는 최악의 상황을 피하기 위해 아직도 주어진 시간 내에 합의에 이를 수 있도록 최선의 노력을 기울이고 있습니다. 그러나 저희의 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 최악의 상황이 발생한다면, 앞으로 저희가 취할 수 밖에 없는 후속 조치에 대해 이해해주시기를 부탁 드립니다. Crude translation : GomTV is doing its best efforts to achieve mutual agreements in the given time limit in order to avoid the worst scenario. But if, regardless of our efforts, the worst happens, please understand that we will be forced to take 'extra action'. | ||

Will it be justified? That I don't know. Will people like it? No. Looking really bad has never stopped a corperation from doing damage control before. In the end the courts will decide if it's 'justified'. The fact that damage control wont work, somehow doesn't quash my suspision that it's what they're attempting  | ||

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.  I am pretty sure that they mean Television Broadcasts. If you take a look at the Blizzard Tournament submission form they want to know if the tournament is going to be broadcast and explicitly states that this mean Television Broadcast and not Internet Stream. | ||

There's more going on here, of course, but Gretech has wisely toned down their rhetoric here, at least. Well done to them, for once. EDIT: Or maybe their sabre-rattling just wasn't translated? I'm pretty sure that: "We are trying to say that license is needed to broadcast games, and acknowledge that Blizzard owns IP rights to all Blizzard games." = "Prior approvals about all league operations such as contracting sponsorship, marketing materials, broadcasting plan." and "GomTV is not looking to take just the money from Korea e-sports scene through the license. It's to protect the IP rights, which is a very important right for the content businesses, as well as their right to keep it." = "4. Ownership of all broadcasted programs, program videos." Also "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." might suggest they're still going to try to enforce contracts with progamers that'll override the contracts with their actual sponsors. | ||

If you'd just go back and read through everything from the get go, most of you would probably post less angrily and more relieved. Drop your hatred for whichever party you don't like, because it's probably not as founded as you think. | ||

Lol, overseas streams are not what they're talking about. Who cares about streams in Korea? It's about television broadcasting which GOM has never had a problem with | ||
