Nice PR stunt, MBC.

Regardless, I hope everything goes well.

MBC's definitely the first company I can say has accomplished something positive on the PR front.

Who is this person in the picture? I guess he should be somebody in charge.

So just from the look of his office, MBC is not rich.

I wouldn't mind paying for a MBC stream if I could help them to make profit

Thanks a bunch for translating more news for us ]343[, but try to avoid hotlinking images. You can upload it on imgur or whereever.

edit: For those who asked, the guy in the picture is Cho Jung Hun, Business Director for MBC Plus Media (which owns MBCGame, along with other networks).
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Gretech, charge people to watch a 3 months old game.
MBC, knows how advertising works, has never charged for events.

Wait, MBC has a stream that broadcast to the world? I don't mean a stream that broadcast to Korea and someone in Korea or proxy to Korea restream it to the world.

Where do I get it? (No sarcasm intended)

Gretech is clearly completely inexperienced and has no idea what they are even doing in this situation. The only possible reason Blizz have for choosing this, of all companies, to control SC in Korea is simply that they are easily controllable. If what MBC say is true (and i don't see why they would be lying they have not have said anything PR wise up till now) then i think Gretech would not even win in court regardless and it's just one big bluff. Just a shame we have to put up with their incompetence for SC2.

More reason to learn how to advertise over-hyped games.
LLLOOOOOOOOOLLLLL
Offense intended.

Wait, Gretech has a "Global" Starleague? where it is totally convenient for non-Koreans to participate? Why is it that they choose to put their "Global" Starleague in KOREA? Is it possible that because of BW SC2 would be so over-hyped?
They also offer the "best multimedia player in the world", GOM media player, which is a complete piece of crap worse than windows media player, to watch SC2, i mean what doesn't spell Gretech's total competence in running proper e-sports.

i dunno, zenmaster is saying their streaming service is superior to gretech's so i assume there's free hq stream and free vods for the world since that's what necessary to be better than the gsl

A free non lagging stream would just do actually.

So the problem in the end is that MBC simply doesn't have the money to pay for what Gretech is asking without going into the reds.

Despite the fact that Gretech is not asking for a lot.

I would like to see OGN's profit numbers.

I honestly don't see how anyone can side with Gretech;

They just don't understand the real situation in TV companies; they act like just because we're a for-profit TV company, we actually make a profit.

Free live stream and vods are available at sc.plu.cn, if you understand Chinese. And they are not pirating, they got the approval from OGN and MBC long time ago with nearly no broadcasting fee, since the website company is pretty poor. And also they are putting their own ads between games for profits. If Teamliquid wants to do that with English commentary, I am sure OGN and MBC will only charge very little, maybe none. It's just that nobody in English speaking country has the passion to commentate every live Proleage game.

After all, there are no foreigners in Proleague, OSL, and MSL, so it does not make sense for MBC and OGN to hire English commentator to commentate the game.

On the other hand, you can not restream GSL even without your own commentary and ads.
