This news gives me mixed feelings. Part of me is like yay, at least there will still be MSLs(and hopefully OSL and PL). But my other side is like aww MBC you cracked under the man.

Long live BW.

Perhaps CJ's stake in Gretech is facilitating this deal. If that's the case, things should also work out for OGN, which belongs to CJ. I expect BW to be able to continue unhindered, at least in the immediate future, unless Blizzard/GOM make impossible demands with the intent of killing the proscene to make way for SC2. It's the SC2 scene that will probably be most affected by the Blizzard-Gretech deal.


CJ have a 25% stake in gretech. While it does make them the single biggest shareholder in Gretech, Korean journalists speculate on exactly how significant it is. Officially, CJ claims they are just an investor in Gretech and have no interest in its actual operations.


Technically, CJ has a 49.3% stake in MNET media, which in turn has a 24.5% in GRETECH. ^^;

Knowing Activision's reputation, I can't help but be wary for the future.

You people confuse proleague and starleague.

Kespa is ruling over pro league and selling rights to boths channels

As far as I know, Kespa holds 0 rights whatsoever on individual leagues. (But to monitor them and sanction them so they count in ranking)

That means therefore, if MBC wants to run MST the person he has to talk to now is Gretech, meanwhile BEFORE ALL THIS, he had to speak with no one.

In that matter, Kespa wouldn't go to court, but MBC would. This is entirely different.

Kespa was the head negociator and it failed. So now, tv channels have to act on their own.

It's more complicated then how people make it sound. It's actually a mess because GOm is a broadcasting company.

So basically, channels now have to pay a fee to run their individual leagues.

To Gretech to Blizzard ? What are the details ? We don't even know what kind of money all this represents. I doubt it is big since MBC game isn't a rich channel by any mean.

The way it's heading now, you could imagine GOM turning soon into merely a middle man between OGN / MBC and blizzard. If MBC or OGN gets to launch sc2 countent anyday soon, I even doubt GOM will keep running things on their own.

Maybe GOM will end up making english commentating content on official MBC / OGN games.

That'd be awesome.

Very good news. This really pleases me. I think it shows that they are willing to do what i takes to make sure the BW Proscene continues, and I am sure OGN will follow shortly. Awsome!

If this is a step towards gamers being compensated better (thus making it more of a legit profession), it's great news for e-sports.

I hope you know that it creates another expense in the cost of the producer of the tourney or the league. Meaning the chances for the players getting a raise is going to be close to 0. (Especially if Gom will issue similar demands as blizzard)

in my opinion, Blizzard should offer broadcasting companies a package which includes both starcraft. But it would be dangerous if blizzard tries to pull out much money as possible because e sport is one of the best ads what Bliz can ever have. Therefore Blizzard should act careful as possible.

everyone seems to be paranoid about these huge sums of money blizzard seems to be demanding. Did they ever state anything like that? And why would sponsers stop sponsering? Can someone enlighten me?

There is a possibility that they could co-exist for a period of time. Obviously SC:BW will reach the end of its rope sooner or later, but it won't happen immediately.

blizzard only cares about one thing profit. So I imagine that the negiotiation will go something like this
"so how much do you want to keep MSL alive?"
"10 million"
"uhm, that's way too much"
"ok then, just give us 10 minutes of free advertising for starcraft II during every televised match"
"ok"

Doesn't matter who wins or loses in court blizzard could just sand bag them and bankrupt Kespa or whoever with legal fees and reach the same end.

I simply stated this from the start of their negotiations. Blizzard can destroy kespa in a heartbeat. But we will suffer from all of this.
You don't beat me, I decide to lose.
