Of course Kespa hates Blizzard and SC2, wouldn't u be pissed off if someone tried to shut down what you created for 10 years. Kespa created and kept e-sports and spread it, they should be treated like they did

In my eyes the correct course of action would be to contact the streaming site to have them take it down i'd imagine... But they decided to go all power hungry about it.

I hate it when the players get in the middle of the fight of 2 big organisations.

Personally I think it's a fairly simple matter.

KeSPA don't have rights to broadcast SC2 in S.Korea right now.

A KeSPA licensed player is participating in a showmatch, which is being broadcasted in S.Korea.

Who's going to get in trouble if it continues? Obviously KeSPA.

It sucks that the match had to be cancelled but the only person in the wrong here is the guy who streamed it in S.Korea, and caused the chain of events to occur.


might have been the reason why NaDa vs TLO's showmatch was stopped .. and Kespa allowed NaDa to play SC2 in the 1st place so that wasn't the issue ..


Sounds like BS to me. As far as I know the showmatch was constructed spontaniously. I also have no idea why kespa would get into any kind of legal trouble because they let a licensed player of them play SC2. After all, the negotiations were always about broadcasting rights, nothing else



So I say it's simply a kespa-is-being-a-greedy-asshole situation. They could've avoided this by coming to an agreement with Blizzard, but obviously they didn't. It obviously works for Gom, and quite well so.




1st : you are obviously misinformed ..

2nd (why I think you are misinformed) : they didn't because the demands were too high .. the deal with GoM was a undisclosed, while the deal with kespa was publicly released and well its pretty hard for kespa to accept
Religion is a dying idea .. || 'E-sport' outside Korea are nerds who wants to feel like rockstars. || I'm not gonna fuck with trolls on General Forum ever again .. FUCK!

I was too tired to wake up for the match this morning (5:00 AM EST), so I missed it. But it sounds like there were at least a few games finished. Anyone know where I can find VoDs for these?

Kespa is all about their fans and this move shows it. They cancelled the showmatch because Nada was behind and they didn't want their fans to see the loss.

so if kespa is claiming they had nothing to do with it, then the vods will be out later i guess.

because it's most likely a cover-up to avoid a pr shamble.

Im happy that KesPa has shown itself at the international esports community, so, Quake players, Cs players, everyone knows now WHAT KESPA IS AND WHY ITS A DANGER TO ESPORTS DEVELOPMENT

No people just read the sensationalist topic and then comment is how it works. kespa is a good bad guy also with anything blizzard involved. It's getting really old.

I second this, would've loved to watch these two geniuses go at it.

Official Comment from Carmac

I think all of this is getting blown out of proportion, so I think commenting on the issue would only create unnecessary controversy.

That cover up is absolutely ridiculous. Why would ESL even mention KeSPA ? The crushing majority doesn't even know who or what KeSPA is. And insinuating NaDa would gg that early (something which surprised everyone including me) is just low.

I think it would be best to just lock the thread and update the op then.

Kespa intervened it isn't the end of the world guys. It was kind of a dick move but they held to the terms they put forward when they agreed to the show match. It got restreamed thusly it got shut down.

At least they got to play game 2 (or 3 with issues), that made it all worth it.
