So is Blizzard basically pulling the rug out under KeSPA (which may not even be the case, since CJ is a KeSPA member) for profiteering purposes? At the end of the day though, a sport that generates profit is a sport that grows. | ||

I dont think so You're right, we don't really need to be told they're going for a 12 hatch or barrack into expansion. Commentary in general is most useful to fill the voids in boring parts of the broadcast, such as the first 5 minutes of a game where both players go for their heavy econ build or the time between games. See every sport. | ||

See every sport. But hearing the Korean commentators and hearing them laugh at the crowd watching the game is more fun for me. Except sometimes Tasteless, I don't like how English commentators fills the voids. If they were truly professional, and made jokes with/about the spectators, it would be as fun. Also, they don't seem as excited when saying "Ge geeeeeeeeeeeee!" or "stoooorm!", which really helps to make the games exciting. | ||

I dont think so. Do any of you watch televised sports? I know precisely what is happening in ice hockey (or Winter Olympics mogul skiing), but I've watched it without commentary and it's not nearly so interesting. Maybe you don't like the English commentators, but for most people commentary that is understandable enhances the viewing experience. Why make an obscure viewing experience even more obscure due to format? | ||

With the MBCGame survivor league set to start on the third of June, MBCGame has approached Gretech/GomTV to begin negotiations over Blizzard's intellectual property rights. In response, on June 4th, Gretech has requested kespa, OGN and MBCGame to join the negotiations table, sending documents outlining its contract with Blizzard as a warrant for holding negotations, yet none have given a response. | ||
