EPTUnfortunately, Warcraft 3 would never realize its full potential as an E-sports game in Korea following the infamous Prime League map-fixing scandal. The controversy devastated the Korean Warcraft III scene. In the aftermath, the Prime League was dissolved completely, while DayFly, one of the biggest fan favorites in Korea (the Boxer of War3, if one had to compare. Played a supposedly weak race, used impressive micro), retired in shock and disgust after discovering that he had unwittingly been the prime beneficiary and target of the map-fixing. MBCGame attempted to launch the MBCGame Warcraft League (MWL) in later years, only to find that too many fans had given up in disappointment long ago.
strange how a map scandal results in The Warcraft League taking the hit rather than say...
the MBC gaming in general, or MBC company itself, or the individuals or the team responsible...
if there was a map scandal, it's a simple matter of recognizing that we had it, and then now they would be better at balancing maps and detecting imbalanced map features.
but i guess it comes down to the fanbase in the end. in a way that's a good thing.
