no but it is normal that when your employer (who can take away your licence) is not pleased with the situation you're in...you race out and have a Korean German ( aka Reis , organizer ) talk in your behave.

NaDa seemed like he had a ton of fun game 2, so it was sad to see game 3 end like that.

Just another in a growing list of reasons of Kespa "caring" about it's fans and esports. This is just sad to see happening. Show match like this just completely sidelined due to Kespa's over reaction and utter disgusting attempts at covering up the fact they axed an event because of some random stream into Korea.

Someone needs to get a list together of all of the various screw-up's and point to it every time some one tries to say Kespa cares about anything related to it's fans and esports.

Kespa can't do Starcraft II. Blizzard fucked them over with no lan support, and probably wanted a part of the profits.

If Koreans start wanting the BW pros to switch over to SC2, then Kespa is over.

It wasn't the right move to cancel the match, but I can definately see why it happened.

Both Blizzard and Kespa are to blame for this.

P.S. I can't believe we're already having Bnet 2.0 problems. Thats so fucking ridiculous. I hope Blizzard is embarrassed.

Raiznhell you are so right, it was Kespa who got screwed after being caught breaking a contract they had signed with blizzard over intellectual rights. I totally blame Blizzard for enforcing a clear contract violation, and Kespa banning all teams from playing in GOM Tournaments. Stupid Blizzard trying to make sc2 esports global while poor Kespa now has to make money illegally a different way.

What contract did Kespa sign again?

Kespa cares enough to invest millions of dollars into Esports each and every year supporting teams and coaching/support staff.

I'm not sure if you've actually been reading about what's happening, but GOM have been given Lan Support for use by progamers, or people who play in the massive GOM tourneys, it's just Kespa wanting to milk money out of something they haven't even made without giving Blizzard a penny of it.

Also, I'm not sure if you know how software/hardware works, but generally you have a lot of problems at the beginning of software, aka in this situation it's BNET 2.0, which will get ironed out as time goes by.

Yes, Kespa clearly is a charity organization. They invest money out of their own pockets, without any return on investment whatsoever.

I believe TLO said in the interview after the show-match that he was impressed at NaDa's play considering he only started playing SC2 10 days ago.

and by saying "10 days ago" im pretty sure he hasnt played many matches, as he is, still a sc1 progamer and only played during his spare time

Yeah because thats how they make a living...?

Not saying blizzard is doing a better job, but still, if they truly love esports they shouldn't screw it up for the gamers.

just as carmac says, OP
source: http://tv.esl.eu/de/program/view/39778
ESL: 'Update: There will be no VoD of the match, since Kespa didn't officially allow NaDa to play a showmatch.'

FOMOS is BS though they are pro kespa instead of being a truthful news website.

It kept going crazy for me. I think it was just a bad stream when it was recorded because the video would still play even though nothing was happening. You just have to slightly fast forward the video to keep watching it.

gaiz gaiz .. think of it this way ..

think of kespa's scapegoat reasoning for our benefit .. think of it as "pros dont want to play in an unstable playing field".. im just saying use this to our advantage. make it a prime example of why we need LAN connection.

+ Show Spoiler +

i know fuck kespa but fuck blizzard too .. both are greedy schmuks ..

Well, I hope that the problems here in IEM on connectivity actually push Blizz to open up their rumored "Professional Edition" for tournaments much faster; where they can actually play it over a LAN instead of having to route their netcode over B.Net.02

The "professional edition" was just a false rumor, right?

Blizzard did say they would add "tournament functionality"--presumably LAN but who knows--by the end of the year.

It's a disgrace that this is even necessary, but I hope it happens soon. Ah well despite the gayness from both Blizzard and Kespa in this showmatch, it was still a treat to see NaDa play for a bit. And TLO was brilliant as usual. Everyone watch game 2 it was amazing.
