How is that quote disgusting? It seems more like OGN was being unnecessarily dismissive by only giving them the schedule of the OSL in response. That sort of passive aggressive response isn't really going to be productive. But maybe I'm missing something here.

since the merge, im pretty sure the board can assign ppl from one company to jump over to help the other company, which makes alot of sense to me. it would not surprise me that paul sams was transferred from activision to blizzard in order to deal with korea | ||

I actually find it funny that so many people on this forum have been saying stuff like "but Blizzard used to be so kewl, it's all because of SC2 and Activision". I don't remember all the reasons but for me Blizzard has been a shit company since the turn of the millennium. So I don't really care what they have to say about anything and I hope that the lawsuit backfires on them big time. The use of the game assets on TV is so incidental and it has been such a long time that they should really just stop it. | ||

I might of course be wrong, but sounds way too childish to first ignore someone and then shove in their face how much they ignored them in the first place. I am on the edge of my seat and about to get up and walk away if blizz wins this, as pro bw has my only interest so far and i don't see blizz continuing the leagues if they take the rights away from OGN, MBC and KeSPA. | ||

So apparently Blizzard just wants total dominion over the eSports culture in korea and can't wait for everyone to switch over to SC2 cause of the better prices. I hope KeSPA finds some way to increase the prize pool. Would make it a bit more lucrative to stay. | ||

I just looked over it and it clearly says they got a notice with all the schedules from KeSPA. | ||

They think they'll win any legal action. a. Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? They don't know if they'll win. a. Just trying to represent a unified front with Kespa/MBC. b. Gretech's terms are unreasonable, and they really couldn't afford to be legal. They think they'll lose. a. Just leveraging a tax write-off from an industry in decline. Something crazy. a. Samsung buys BW from Vivendi. b. Korea nationalizes the game. | ||

I mean, if BW is still profitable compared to SC2, they would've started one or have made plans to start one since the IP debacle. I think Blizzard and Gretech wants BW to die for good in favor of SC2. My understanding was they haven't run a BW league because the proteams won't participate (because of the nastiness between blizzard/gretech and ogn/mbc/kespa) | ||
