Any Korean here so shed some light on the matter? this i want to know, i guess that kespa really wouldn't care that it appears as a massive dick move to the foreign community, if koreans are pissed (if they knew about the game in any decent numbers in the first place) it's somewhat different. | ||

Because of Blizzard's control, they can't even get credit or recognition for the showmatch. So why exactly should they play nice when Esl breaks the conditions? | ||

I don't know what the truth is, but it sounds more plausible for them to cancel the match due to legal worries than to destroy the popularity of SC2. | ||

I can not even imagine how irritating and spirit killing that must have been to pause till lag settles, or to suddenly be dropped. Tomorrow I have forgotten what Kespa did, or atleast not think about it much, but instead have doubts about SC2 as a future esport. Cept Blizzard already stated there will be LAN in the future. There's always going to be technical difficulties, but people find any reason to whine about Blizzard. Why isn't anyone crying that there was a power outage as the showmatch was about to begin? Because that shit couldn't be controlled. | ||

Blizzard is well within their right to have a hand in e-sports, as they're responsible for the biggest e-sports game in the world. Their handling of it is... questionable, to put it mildly, with a huge censor bar over it, and covered with chocolate and sprinkles. It's their game, they should get a piece of the pie. Both Blizzard and KeSPA are being idiots in the whole matter. | ||

Thanks Blizz. A community built entirely on their product. You're saying KeSPA owes Blizzard nothing? I can't believe all the posts in this thread taking potshots at Blizz like it's their fault KeSPA is full of dickheads. Keep hating on the company that made the game you play and love and paid for and go to this site everyday to discuss and watch streams and tournaments. If it wasn't for Blizz there would be no Brood War and no e-sports scene for Korea at all. | ||

I can not even imagine how irritating and spirit killing that must have been to pause till lag settles, or to suddenly be dropped. Tomorrow I have forgotten what Kespa did, or atleast not think about it much, but instead have doubts about SC2 as a Future esport. Well today Blizzard temporarily screwed up two matches out of 5 whereas KeSPA pulled the plug on the whole showmatch, but yeah, Battlenet 2.0 lossage affects all Starcraft 2 tournaments in the Future, whereas KeSPA's lossage Only screws over games with a Korean progamer in them. Those two make a awesome team when they act together though. Final score for the bo5 TLO vs NaDa showmatch: Players (Liquid`TLO and  NaDa) -2 Greedy old farts hellbent on squeezing everyone for profit (Blizzard and  KeSPA) - 3The Greedy Old farts win the showmatch and will go on to face the general esports viewing public in the next match | ||

They are the ones who supplied Nadas pro gaming license and they're free to take it from him, essentially leaving him unemployed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe that's how it is. | ||

Playing Starcraft 2 is a concession his team is giving him | ||

He's still in CJ and are using thier facilites right? KeSPA is higher ups from the companies sponsoring the pro teams, so if he is to use thier stuff and live in thier house. Why should'nt he go by thier rules? | ||
