why would I want english commentary for BW games? I KNOW what is happening on the screen, and screaming korean commentators are much more fun to listen than boring sellouts like tasteless or daniel. while GOM TV tournaments were running back in 2008/09, a bunch of people here complained how the commentators often chat about random things and miss important developments in game, they complained about susie not knowing enough about bw, or about daniel's not so stellar english skills, and now all of a sudden those two clowns are supposed to be voices from god? I dont think so.

Isn't KeSPA a NFP?

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.
Winning is a lifestyle choice.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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. ^^;

So you multiply it and get that CJ owns 12% of Gretech?

it doesnt work like that. they pretty much control 50% of mnet on their own, so they can dictate the actions of mnet 100%, not just 50%.

Ongamenet probably cannot afford to NOT broker a deal with GomTV just like MBC, so I expect to see the OSL and MSL continue w/ Blizzard's approval of their use of it's IP.

I really hope teams start transitioning to SC2. I'd love to see SC2 played regularly by all my favorites

lets make a script about all of this drama and send it to ridley scott, im pretty sure a hella movie will result, with guns and black hawks and all that shit
I could get a more coherent article by gluing a Sharpie to a dog's cook and letting it hump the page.

Genius, but then Blizzard will attempt to acquire ownership and taking over half our profits.
You don't beat me, I decide to lose.

Doesn't this article completely contradict the latest article 'Gretech and KeSPA Deadlocked'?


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.

I'm just happy that the MSL is going to keep going, there have been some awesome games to come out of the finals lately mostly because of Jaedong/flash but the league is great =D. GJ manning up MBC.
