Congratulations, e-Sports. You survived all those little bumps that you went on, survived the winds that tried to topple you, survived a match rigging scandal that rival's MLB's steroid use. All that, to fall to a blizzard.

Who the fuck is blizzard to offer a grace period. What is with this retarded, arrogant attitude that makes them pretend SC is good because "they designed it that way"? No, SC is good because of sheer, dumb luck, not because of your retarded balance team. Intellectual property? more like sheer unadulterated arrogance.

gg.


I think the "dumb luck" argument is stupid because Blizzard is the ONLY company who can seemingly make an RTS that is both extremely popular and able to be played a high competitive level. They did it with Starcraft (most successful "e-sport" game ever), Warcraft 3 (obviously not as succesful but still 1000x more so than any other RTS) and now will do it again with Starcraft 2. 3 RTS which can be played as an esport is not dumb luck when no other company has even come close to making one. Blizzard obv knows wtf they're doing in designing games and have absolutely no competition in their field so why do people act like its so bad for them to want to take a big piece of the pie?


Blizzard isn't really making good games, they are making good platforms which later allow players to shape games to their liking, this happened with SC, War 3 and partially with WoW, - basically decent games with good open dev kits.


So the people who created the gameplay did not create the gameplay? Your position is baffling.


Only partially. They didn't know about half the SCBW mechanics and techniques used today, most of them are just bugs; not once have they properly balanced a game, SCBW was balanced by custom maps and mechanics, War III still isn't, same goes for Diablo II, WoW (in a way) and so on.


You can spin it any way u want but the point remains that blizz has no competition in this field (competitive RTS) and likely never will since most companies are just developing mass console FPS's nowadays.

Kespa is fucked. Goodbye. Unless they can somehow win something in court with blizzard, they are out for good.

Do you really think BW proscene will die just because kespa is replaced? OGN/MBC will still organize their shit, and a new PL will be underway. People took crap from kespa because they had monopoly. People will take crap from blizzard if they have to just like they did with kespa.

This isnt a bunch of fans throwing hissy fits, this is an entire industry that needs to relay a foundation on another plot of land. They can either move, or die. They will move.

Kespa is just getting their due come-uppance.

Does everyone forget how Kespa out of nowhere claims the rights to PL, sells it off to IEG for a fee, then forces OGN and MBC to pay for their own creation? That was just pure greed. Blizzard may just be doing the same thing, except they created the game and have potential to contribute.

You do know that OGN/MBC are 2/3 of KeSPA? they operate it, own it and so on...

The biggest question here is if this contract is enforceable under Korean law. If not, there was absolutely NO point in the contract at all.

The biggest issue with KeSPA illegally selling Blizzard's intellectual property was that Blizzard could not sue KeSPA because the Korean government refused to deal with Blizzard.

If KeSPA continues to operate SC2 as it did with SC1 and if Blizzard can't stop KeSPA, then we're back to square 1 again.

This is definitely good news for SC2, but hopefully it turns out well for BW as well... All OGN/MBC have to do is work out a side deal with GOMTV. They'd be dumb not to anyways.

KeSPA still can probably do what they want under Korean law with BW, but it's not the same with SC2 because they removed LAN and you need to deal with international law to play without LAN.
If Blizzard ruins the leagues I will never buy anything from them again.

tastless has all the rights in the world to be back in the mainstage of commentating, he has done soo much over the years and been in there for so long, i hope they get him a nice job over there that he likes.. that would be soo handsome... Either OGN,MBC,GOM or Kespa... as long as i get some GGs, do i REALLY need to care about the logo on the side? whoever gets this monster is obviously gonna need to adjust to the market, it will all add up i am sure..

P.S : Sooo when does TL strike a deal with blizzard? dont wait too long

Can some one explain to me what the big deal is with Korea and SC II? I realize the enormous contribution that was made by the Korean ESports community that made Brood War successful, but is Korea even necessary at this point to have a successful competitive game? Some of these comments are people suggesting that with out the Korean community, SC II won't have any shelf-life, why is that? Are the Americans, Europeans, and Chinese not capable of picking up the slack?

Activision at it again I suppose. BTW, did anyone realize how similar the SC2 interface is to Command and Conquer 3? No surprise really. SCII is more like Command and Conquer 4 with Starcraft units rather than Starcraft 2.

See the issue isn't that there won't be people competing in E-Sports. There will be. The issue is that the skill level of these people won't be as high.Korea basically has a system in place that trains the best. If Korea is out of the picture, you'll basically have people at the skill level of Nony and Day9 playing rather than people with the skills of Flash and Jaedong.

I'm almost certain that MBC and OGN will successfully negotiate with GOM TV. I just don't see the competitive BW scene without MSL and OSL. This can only be good. *optimistic
