Some of you guys have really bizarre ideas about how this stuff works. i'm not sure i get what you mean. they had 2 simple choice ; 1) kespa doesnt want restreams in korea , and i cant simply control everyone in korea to stop it ; thus i shouldnt arrange a showmatch 2)someone WILL restream in korea , but surely i can stream at least 1-2 games before kespa intervene ( if ever ). 1-2 games between nada and TLo , is worlds better then chickening out i dont get it , how it is esl's fault. | ||

I think he believed that TLO's backdoor expo was up for much longer than his own expo at Nada's natural. TLO's backdoor expo was seriously delayed (up slower than Nada's natural expo due to the destructible rocks despite being built before Nada started his). Nada was really behind in scv count due to the hellion drop harass by TLO so while the gg seemed quick Nada was so far behind already when he lost his marauder force in the middle that a gg was only a matter of time. People aren't arguing whether Nada would've or could've won. The fact of the matter is any discussion now is pure conjecture because of Kespa's actions. I mean, how about we just end every game where a player falls behind prematurely? | ||

It was really disappointing to stay up until 5:00am to watch two players square off and have the match dogged by technical issues and political drama. This. South Korea doesn't want to appear weak. :p | ||

Blizzard screwed Kespa over by not signing them on for sc2 despite Kespas long commitment to starcraft broodwar (still to this day IMO the best game ever to come out of blizzard cuz i find sc2 terribly disappointing). so naturally nobody should expect Kespa to want anyone under contracts with them to go playing a game that was refused from Kespa. Blizzard and KeSPA were negotiating for a long time over SC2. The negotiations fell through, for undisclosed reasons. There are rumors running around, but nothing solid about what happened. So I don't see how you can objectively say that Blizzard "screwed Kespa over". Blizzard gave them a chance to get on board. The other thing you need to realize is that Blizzard did not need to negotiate. They could have just said, "Here are our terms, take them or leave them;" as the owners of the game, that is their right. But they instead choose to enter into a real dialog for quite some time. The negotiations didn't work out, so here we are. | ||

What is really funny about this story were the casters' reaction when Nada GGed. They immediately said, "Most people think people GG after a big battle. But this GG came because Nada knew he was so far behind, etc. etc. etc." Instead of admitting their surprise as to why Nada gged, the casters made up stuff and declared we, unwashed masses, are too stupid to understand why someone would GG 'abruptly' (where the truth is they had no idea). Note to casters: if you aren't sure why something occurred, don't declare you do. | ||

The casters said the same thing at that point because they also think the way YOU did. | ||

Based on what I saw in the games, along with the fact that he's still a registered BW progamer, I would guess not very much at all. If that's actually the case, it makes me very excited to see what some of the Korean BW pros will be able to do if they ever decide to switch to SC2 full time. | ||
