They probably don't give a shit about the fans but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't still be good for the fans if kespa won this fight and got a reasonable agreement with blizzard. To me it seems that kespa is the "lesser evil" in this case. | ||

Blizzard for being ridiculously greedy (see the activision blizzard article), or Kespa for their long record of dumb rulings "the pp/ppp and "a" incedences) Does anyone feel at a loss about who to support? I guess id go with Kespa as they kinda keep ESports alive... No, Blizzard and Kespa are not arguing over pp and ppp, this has nothing to do with the referees or the rulebooks. This is Blizzard against people who have invested their money and time to grow esports, the corporations, the teams, the broadcasters, the coaches and the players, it has nothing to do with the referees. | ||

To me it seems that kespa is the "lesser evil" in this case. Yeah, when it comes to this I believe that KeSPA is the lesser of 2 evils here. Blizzard is demolishing eSports. Although KeSPA isn't the best organization ever and has so unnecessary, I truly believe that they're trying to build eSports much more than KeSPA. Although we're not very satisfied with what has happened in the past few years ( Dumb disqualifications, pp incident, etc ) I do think that they care somewhat for the fans. Blizzard hasn't actually done anything for Brood War since 2004. Blizzard has already taken away LAN (which is absolutely essential for eSports). Just think, in 10 years when bnet 3.0 comes out do you think that Blizzard will care enough to improve bnet 2.0 for the remaining SC2 fans? They've never really improved the original Battle. Net. just look at how hacker infested it is. Imagine if progamers didn't have lan for SC1 and were forced to play on Bnet. The Blizzard 12 years ago that created StarCraft is not in existence anymore. The new Blizzard could care less about what happens as long as their wallets and shareholders are happy. | ||

Yeah, you should add a *Starcraft is the property of Blizzard Entertainment on a video, but what right do they have to do this shit? They license the software, which allows them greater control of what can and cannot be done with their software. Most all computer programs make use of this licensing format, since piracy is so common on computer software. Especially with all games being forced to play on bnet, blizz has complete control over how their property (bnet in this case) is used. | ||

They're touching Korean Brood War. As they say that KeSPA does not have broadcasting rights to Brood War and signed them to GOM. Thus killing eSports | ||

and you think Blizzard cares about the Fans? the only thing they care about is making success off a game they made and they left it alone. years later they come back to take the money and make SC2 and monopolize E-sports. theres no excuse taking so long just to make SC2 expect noticing sc1 is going strong in korea | ||
