Mate I quoted a reply that said kespa had never hindered korean-foreign relations in a direct reply about international market and viewers. I couldn't care less what companies are doing what. SC2 has english commentary, BW does not, there for in simple terms the international market and viewers are treated better in regards to SC2 So why did you quote the guy that said kespa had never hindered korean-foreign relations? You've just shown that Kespa doesn't cater to the international community, which they don't since they are the Korean esports players association. They've been perfectly fine with having restreams in English in the past, so it's not like they are actively stopping or hindering people from making them, there just so happens to be very little demand for it even in the foreign bw scene, since quite frankly the Korean commentators are better even if you can't understand a word they are saying. This is akin to saying, how are your Swahili, Hebrew and Hindu GSL restreams working out for you? OMG! GOM must be hindering the growth of esports internationally! No, they just happen not to cater to those markets (which probably have very little demand anyway). GOM caters to a market that has great demand for English commentary, and Kespa caters to a market that has great demand for Korean(and really only Korean) commentary. Neither are hindering anything outside what they cater for. | ||

DailyEsports is reporting that IeSF hasn't reached SC2 licencing agreement with Gretech yet. IeSF is considering switching SC2 from official title to exhibition title Can someone please explain what this actually means? Thx ^_^ | ||

If anyone wants to broadcast Korean SC2 , they need permission from Gretech. Dunno what this has to do with KeSpa tho. Edit: IeSF seems to have two problems. No permission from GOM and they fucked up and chose Kespa to choose Korean players when Kespa doesn't have any SC2 players and isn't even allowed to oversee the game. | ||

They have bigger problems to worry about seeing as they are the pillar of bw and it may/may not collapse based on if they can find sponsors for new teams. Let Gretech do this job Kespa is doing exactly what your saying...not getting involved =S. Kespa: There will be no korean SC2 rep because we do not have any SC2 progamers contacted. THATS IT.

From what i've gather by listening to TL members more in the know ^^. Is that IeSF is like WCG and Kespa is Korea. Kespa(Korea) has no SC2 progamers thus there will be no Korean SC2 rep. Just as there is no Somali kart rider rep. | ||

LoLvsxD wanted to PP the match for 30minuts,but "DeathForfeit" refused to PP the match (When he was in a "PRO-House" here in Spain playing 24/7) What a disgrace. | ||

I agree, it's a disgrace. The spanish tournament organizers should have disqualified Wizards.LoLvsxD without asking Deathfate in the first place. It's not his job to run a tournament only to play in it. It is his job to be present on time and to play games. Since only one of the players in the final managed that it makes sense Deathfate qualified for the grand finals and Wizards.LoLvsxD didn't. But I'm sure you aren't biased in the slightest... :/ | ||

Though there was no qualify, I think the Brazilian organization (CBEC) affiliated to IeSF invited the player KT.Reason. He also is the player that KT (Keyd Team) choose to send to MLG Orlando. Sad that there was no qualify in Brazil, but I agree that Reason is the most prepared brazilian player currently. Thanks for the information. I added Reason on the Liquipedia page (  IeSF 2011 World Championship) | ||

There is no reason to treat a game that is growing in popularity, is more popular globally, and eventually will replace SC:BW... I mean come on we are seeing it happen to boxing now that MMA is so popular. Same thing will happen. Did you even read the thread? This was never KeSPA's fault in the first place. IESF asking them to choose sc2 players is like asking FIFA to decide on seeds to the next Wimbledon. It's not really any of their business. As for sc2 replacing BW, or MMA replacing boxing, thats just ridiculous, it's like saying soccer will replace american football because it's more popular globally and growing in popularity. They are completely different games, the only reason SC2 is even affiliated with BW is that blizzard decided to chuck SC in front of SC2 instead of giving it some other name. You can't replace any one of them with the other. One might outlive the other, but being so completely different, replace is basically impossible. | ||
