can someone explain a little in depth about what just happened? how does kespa have control over what is streamed in korea? how are they able to stifle sc2?
<@Kennigit> NaDa was FORCED to GG out, because someone was streaming the showmatch on Afreeca (a korean streaming software). The KeSPA forced the people to stop NaDa playing any longer.

Kespa never cared about E-sports which is clearly evident from there 0 support of anything non Kespa-Sanctioned. thank god this useless organization is quickly getting flushed down the toilet.

Makes me support any Blizzard decisions x100 times more even if that means profit for Activision.
Ahahaha oh wow. This is so sad.
/facepalm

they aren't controlling what is streamed, from what i understand they simply said 'nada stop playing or you lose your money' :3 such a below the belt move on their part honestly.

Trying to find out exact details from ESL guys. Will post if i hear something more concrete.

Well to be honest he was going to lose anyways but how did Kespa force him to GG. Did they call the manager and tell him to tell Nada to stop or what? If so then they wouldn't have let him go to Germany in the first place right? This doesn't make sense to me.

Tried googling Kespa, brought up mostly stuff I cant read.
Havn't heard of Kespa before, can somone do a quick summary of what they do and why this happened? (for example-- why would IEM allow it to be cancelled? O_o)

nada went to germany to promote avalon online for wemade.
but a showmatch was an awesome idea come up by esl.
shame kespa power tripped and this occured.

So,having a pro gamer license actually sells your soul to kespa? I mean,If I'm a pro football player,and out of my curiosity I want to partecipate to some other sport event,like,a rally, I can't?

yes it is
KeSPA > Bnet 2.0, atleast they could play that match again
fucking ridiculous I was waiting for that match all day long and now this.. the first 2 games were very interesting!
there's about 10 pages about it in the IEM day 4 thread.
To sum the events up once more:
Kespa is an organisation that has contracts with every pro-player in korea and they only agreed to the showmatch if it is not steamed to korea. Someone restreamed it to korea and they pulled the plug by calling to colonge and telling NaDa to stop playing. Since he has a contract with kespa he had to stop or risk penalties.
(This is a basic version, I'm don't know too much details about the system of kespa since I only follow the scene since about a year)

Yes, any organisation that forces children to forego all social life, work long hours every day of the week and basicly end their careers before 25 are good, and no, i'm not talking about taiwan shoe-factories :D

how does a random stream hurt kespa?

Oh man KesPa... I guess this game, streamed in Korea would've caused terrible, terrible damage... somehow.
By the way, I just realize the deep link between mine and NaDa's name... *goes pro*

Ah yeah I forgot about that but I mean Nada was going to lose and the game was almost over anyways after that I did not see Nada in the interview which was interesting. Can anyone confirm though that it was really Kespa that did this?

Kespa are a shower of dicks.
Not sure I would rather have Blizzard as a friend than Kespa though, Blizzard's attitude to SC2 has been just as bad as Kespas behaviour.
Both organizations need to get the fuck out of things that don't concern them, Blizzard need to get the fuck out of Esports and focus on making games and Kespa need to stay the fuck out of stuff that isnt BW in South Korea.

Nada was in Germany to promote another game (not SC2) for his team Wemadefox. Kespa agreed to the show match as long as it was not streamed to Korea and was a local show match. Someone in Korea got ahold of the stream and was restreaming it on a Korean streaming site. Apparently Kespa saw this and called Germany to stop the match.
