I hope there's some hidden 300 APM A+ ICCup rank gosu in that court!

KeSPA Fighting!

That might not be the only factor...I have a feeling it's more CJ/Ongamenet/Gretech wanting to take over BW as well as SC2. If Blizzard is fully cooperating with Gretech, there is no way CJ will let Ongamenet's business be damaged.

(While the rest of the sponsors, especially those with consumer-focused businesses like the phone companies, will balk at only having OGN as the sole broadcaster of pro BW.)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who liked Blizzard better before all this.

Its so frustrating that these huge companies are just arguing over who is going to get more money (IP rights=money). For the sake of the community and continued interest in E-sports... take the hit and just compromise. :-(

I like where this is heading, Kespa old bunch of corrupted bureaucrats will need to deal with their own legal system. Of course the korean legal system may itself be corrupted because you've got connections throughout the all organisations. There's so much money on the line..

Korean court, but if it doesn't turn out the way Blizzard wants it to be, it might be possible they may even take it to international level.

Don't underestimate Kotick's greed, after all

You DO realize that if Blizzard wins this, it's very possible that the pro teams may disband and the BW leagues may disappear, right?

No, don't overdramatize it. If KeSPA/MBCGame/OGN lose, they will pay Blizzard a fine and accept Blizzard/Gretech's terms. The Starleagues get hurt but will most likely be carried on. Blizzard may be tough and greedy but they are not retarded.

Maybe I'm stupid for questioning this, but is etnews a reliable source?

The last topic that said this got spotlighted, and then Waxangel came in and said 'Wow, that's a horrible source. Ignore this' and locked it and unspotlighted it, so you can understand why I'm slightly skeptical because I don't know which Korean sites are reliable or not.
