I'd wait for an official statement or a translation from an unbiased writer/source before making any comments - but if it's correct it is of course good for the BW scene. For SC2 it won't matter much.

What part of the writer and source is biased, may I ask?

This is exciting.... I hope this means the BW pro scene will be around for longer. It has so much more charm and appeal than SC2. I love both though don't get me wrong..... I'm hankering for an OSL right meow.

I was wondering how this was going to work out after reading some threads in the fall. Thanks for the summary!

no offence but in due time the SC2 bubble will die and everything you thought was stable will disappear and the SC2 scene will be only a shell of what is around now. let me know if sc2 lasts 10 years, because it wont.
Posted by yourself earlier today.

So excuse me for not blindly trusting a writer with such a heavy bias, it common sense, just like how you take what you hear on Fox with a pinch of salt when it comes to US politics. It could be correct but I wouldn't make too much out of it.

I've already mentioned my response was a sarcastic response to a terrible post. Then again, you're free to take that as however you want and assume that I will be "biased" when reporting news. I actually removed a lot of anti SC2 remarks from original articles for this post, but then again, you wouldn't know that.

In the end, your loss, not mine, if you want to accuse me of bias and take every news post I make with a grain of salt. I don't think anyone else will be covering the news so have fun waiting, I suppose.

To be fair he made another thread and kept the bias out of this one. I also approach Milkis topics with caution but this OP is pretty fair and 120% better than the SDM biased article. I'm grateful for it because the last thread was already headed downhill with SC2 vs BW bullshit.

My question is does OGN/MBC still have to pay KeSPA for broadcasting rights like they have the past few years or will that fee automatically transfer over to Blizzard now?

Obviously BW is 100% dead outside of Korea and it really does look like its just a matter of time even there.

Also, I'm sure commenting on the guy above's comment isn't going to remedy the direction this thread seems to be going.

Can we have a seperate thread to put all the people who want to have the ol SC1 vs 2 battle? This thread should really be about Blizzard, Kespa...and facts.

Great summary Milkis. Would like to know the exact details though. How much Kespa is possibly paying etc.
