EPTAny claims that it is a travesty that Boxer's not raking in millions must not understand that sports are a business. It's not like professional baseball/basketball/football/etc. players here in the U.S. receive huge salaries because it is their 'fair share'.

In any fashion, this is a kespa rule that applies to everyone and it's a retarded one. It's a way of ensuring a monopoly on the best players. Hoooray for baseless assumptions that demonise KeSPA! | ||

Figure skating has been all but plainly ignored until Kim Yuna showed up. The skating association of Korea never did anything to help Kim Yuna to get to where she is. And they had the balls to take cuts from her prize money. ;p Just wanted to comment on this quote. I fully agree about this and how Korea is with sports and anything that's professional. They will typical ignore it until someone famous or worthwhile shows up to be famous and then the association, corporation or Korea in general will then push it to make it even more famous and call it a Korean pride jewel. That's what happened with figure skating recently in Korea, soccer back in 2002 World Cup (soccer wasn't well known in Korea before then until Korea got 4th place and now it's like the most popular sport), baseball (World Baseball Classic and Olympics), and now Starcraft 2..... I guess in a way, it's good now that BoxeR was able to bring SC2 to a big media attention since now it's only going to go uphill for SC2... | ||

Just stating the obvious, but for SC2 to move forward, we need to see big sponsors with well known names laying down the big bucks and stay in it with the intention of long term commitment like SKT and KT. For Boxer to get a sponsorship so quickly, it is good step forward. What Boxer needs to be careful of is how the contract is written and how long the association between "i" and Boxer lasts. | ||

Baseball was always very popular here and is till this day the most established professional sport in Korea. Soccer is only really popular every 4 years (World Cup... but during the world cup things are *crazy*). Starcraft2 is still just a video game (albeit a very very famous one).. my hope is that one day it will truly be considered a sport and become main stream.. so that we can have starcraft results shown during the evening news on MBC (or any of the other major channels ) | ||
