honestly, wtf... I agree this really reeks of Kespa

I think Broodwar is much more "violent" and stims were there too... we didn t see the campaign yet, but that cant be that bad. When I think of the livestyle/exploitation of korean progamers that statement isnt even funny anymore.

Although I don't agree with them, one has to admire them. They killed two birds with one stone...

brilliant move by kespa.

I wonder if Blizzard will try to deal with them, or if they'll just give up on Korea and try to make ESPORTS big in the west?

So if SC2 gets delayed further, we blame Korea?
Bronze skipping straight to Diamond in 40 games retail release. Bnet 2.0 ladder really takes it's sweet time to think about that league placement.

I'm sick and tired that E-Sports get hijacked by corrupt governments like those found in China and Korea. Hopefully SC 2 will a great catalyst for E-Sports in countries like Germany.

Bribes and politics don't belong in E-Sports.

I wonder if Blizzard could release an adult version now, and the children version later. That would give extra value to the adult version. It would have that forbiden appeal.

This won't affect us. They'll just make a Korean' special SC2. Like the China WoW.
This road isn't leading anywhere...

Dont you have to login to the internet using an id in korea? So this wont be a case of parents just buy anyway and the kid plays. I'm sure blizz will go back and try to crate a less "obscene" version.

no, because your logging in through Battle.net and battlenet doesnt require ID#. you guys keep thinking that people need to log in with ID# to access internet or something -.-

Only games that require ID#s to play are games that require you to initiate the game through a website and that is only because you require an ID# to create an account. the only time we use the ID#s is to create an account in the first place, and battle.net doesnt require a need for ID#s

I thought SC2 would be the first (?) Blizzard game to have this?

KESPA definitely bribed someone.

All they need to do is implement a feature, a check box, in the options menu that toggles the blood/gore on/off.

Sure, if SC 2 was a FPS I would worry about Germany too.
But at least they use age rating for what they are meant for, and not as a punishment just because you can't profit from a company's product without paying them for it.

Fuck KESPA is gay. Such money hungry pigs. Blizzard should ban them from having any right to play/broadcast Broodwar, and then restart BW progaming in Korea themselves.

Well, its largely Counter-Strike they are after. But yeah, I guess US is our greatest hope when it comes to E-Sports, which is a bit scary considering how far E-Sports is to become acceptable there.
