There have been problems with foreign teams poaching skilled players from Korean Starcraft II teams. Are you worried that KeSPA teams might do the same?
Those things could happen, player transfers and such. I wouldn't call it poaching – we've all been in this industry for a long time, and I don't think anyone would really 'poach' a player. I do think that talk of transfers is possible, and ideally that kind of thing would happen after the Starcraft II team federation and KeSPA have talked, worked it out, and put in some regulations.

Hi TSL
What did you think about the GSTL finals decision?
Personally, I do think that bad decisions are part of the game.
Of course, from our perspective, we would be dissatisfied, because we think our player had the advantage. But also, the opponent would obviously think it was a re-game situation. So everyone is bound to have their own opinion in that respect.
The problem was that the entire process wasn't as smooth as it could have been, the way the judges went around it, it was a bit unprofessional.
The way they handled the matter wasn't ideal – we didn't have the situation explained to us well enough, and what happened was that while we were still talking to the officials, the foreign announcers just announced a re-game out of nowhere.

@Casters: Next time, try to verify, and if they are still talking about it.......... don't announce it? >_________>

The blizzard interview was a good read. I like their continued emphasis on making a great product above all else.
Strangely, it sounds like they have more in mind for Blizz Dota than I originally imagined. I thought it would just be a fun little mod, but the e-sports director mentioned how he is in contact with the dev team on almost a daily bases. How big do they intend it to be? The market for dota games is already pretty saturated...

if they don't plan to do micro transactions+make the client free or so, then they'll fail
All 3 of the big players are all F2P now (from what I get dota2 is f2p with micro transactions too, so lol, hon, and dota2 are all f2p+microtransaction based.....)
was hoping for more specific details on leagues (i.e bw players in gsl and ogn with current gsl players ect ect.
