There are reasons/explanations for the higher charge that Blizzard/Gom requires and some of the other stuff presented here to be unfair to Kespa in the other thread that was started, titled something about clearing misconceptions between Blizzard/Gretech vs Kespa/OGN/MBC. | ||

Seriously, what are the coincidences it was an accident that happened to happen with Nada's SC2 activity? I know you are arguing a point so ofc it is one sided, but I don't agree with Kespa. There are reasons/explanations for the higher charge that Blizzard/Gom requires and some of the other stuff presented here to be unfair to Kespa in the other thread that was started, titled something about clearing misconceptions between Blizzard/Gretech vs Kespa/OGN/MBC. Yeah no crap, a random computer error that coincidentally happens when he says hes going to play SC2. And a few hours of a huge angry response from fans the "error" luckily was fixed. | ||

Blizzard has commented that KeSPA and the Progame teams restrict the freedom of the players, and that Blizzard would renovate this system by raising eSports and the players in the proper way. But, KeSPA and the Progame teams do not restrict the freedoms of the players themselves. Every player enters the Progame team only after plenty of negotiations with a contract that is unique to the player, and the player himself has complete freedom to choose where he wants to go. The Progame team provides the player with a moderate salary that follows from their contract and a stable environment where they can practice. ...it reminds me of the drama and frustrations surrounding Jaedong's departure from and return to Oz. Kespa didn't seem to live up to those words then, though that was a complicated affair as well. I don't necessarily agree with all that Blizzard is doing, but Kespa does seem to be far worse... | ||

Yeah, I know it's not as bad as before, but it still seems inadequate. These are still mostly kids, and I never really bought the idea that their team acts as their agent. | ||

I like how you conveniently ignore the fact that BW esports wouldn't exist without Kespa building it up. Honestly there are no shareholders and no dividends going out. The CEO salary thing is just a dumb assumption that people have made in response to the fact that there are no profits funneling out of this organization. | ||

I don't necessarily agree with all that Blizzard is doing, but Kespa does seem to be far worse... from the thread you linked: On August 28 2009 16:24 DanceCommander wrote: Apparently, another zerg begs to differ.No, but its just sad  You don't just retire after winning an OSL...ON topic: I think we need to compile a thread of COLD, HARD FACTS + Explanations about the various facets of the IP Rights case. There's too likely a chance that misinformation will spread in these threads (e.g. someone posting that KeSPA doesn't allow its players to play SC2 back on Pg. 2). And there are people who don't know the difference between sales, revenue, and profits... we just need a central bank of information to consult with regards to this case. It'll make the discussions so much better, IMO. I'll make it if I find time.  | ||

FIFA and in other NPOs(NFL,NBA etc.) thats only mean, this organisation exists for es specific goal. FIFA for football and KESPA for BW. It is really your problem, if you think NPO=Good company. Everybody knows how corrupt those organizations are. FIFA for example earns several hundred Millions and they are still NPO. So, why are your giggling? | ||

Sadly, WC3 players have more freedom than SC1 players for some reason :p | ||

E-sport to Blizzard, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!, is more like a "Wimbledon tournament" instead of a "Champions League" if you guys understand the difference. GOMTV has no freaking plans of leading some sort of League since they seem very focused on 1v1. It seems that they do some Clanwars and stuff but it's not like a LEAGUE. If I heard right at the google tech lab were they talk about SC2, HDHusky talks about this. Tournaments are good, but leagues are very good also. Soccer isn't only about leagues, it's also about some tournaments like the world cup, european cup, whatever cup. What makes soccer so viewable around the globe and with a huge variety of spectators from all over the world ? It's not the national team. It's the leagues inside their own country. A chilean loves a chilean team but also likes an european team. But of course it will cheer for Chile in the worldcup but he will still argue that the goalkeepr of his team is way better and should be in the Chilean team and blablablablalbalba. That doesn't happen in golf as much as it happen in soccer/basquetball/rugby/(NFL No because it's only in the US and I'm talking about worldwide mass of viewers). So treating e-sport as soccer means making leagues grow all over the world and everybody should like it and promote it and make it huge. e-sport ain't made from a rich people hobby. And treating e-sport as golf means making it very exclusive and golf only survives because its full of rich people playing and it was founded by them so it became popular between this important people, same as regatta, but Starcraft 2 isn't that sort of game. In korea Starcraft 2 looks a lot more like soccer were it need MASSES of viewers to survive because that will make sponsor be interested since this is not golf and the sponsors won't sell Louis Vuitton Starcraft 2 watches that cost eur $5.000 to the fans like they do with Regatta fans (http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/flash/index.jsp?direct1=cate&direct2=homme&direct3=cat10043&direct4=cat1520005&direct5=prod620122&langue=en_GB&buy=1). I totally agree with Kespa unless GomTV have a very huge plan to make some major league or try to make starcraft like a golf but for the "gamer" standard that is usually the male from 20-30 years old (average) and with many segmentation variables that I won't put them here because I'm tired. Hope Blizzard understand and what they should do is force Kespa and all this other guys to give the service that GOMTV provides to the foreigners because that's really an awesome thing that GOMTV is doing for the foreign scene that other e-sport organization aren't doing, instead of asking for that huge amount of money. Both should reach an agreement and I agree more with KESPA, but Blizzard should force everybody to make it reachable to the whole world by forcing them to produce content for foreigners also... Their revenue would be bigger indeed since they would have a broader audience. Jesus I wrote too much, must sleep. | ||
