Kespa needs to die for the sake of E-Sports development, not just for Starcraft:Brood War or Starcraft 2 but for the gaming industry as a whole, yes a central governing body is needed when the industry starts to mature, but it will not be Kespa, not a corporate puppet body, but one that is formed by the passionate members of the gaming community, pro-gamers, coaches, managers etc... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black aren't you misinformed by stating what is written by the article given by the op as fact ? Kespa do not have to die for E-sports developments it has already been a tour de force in ensuring that highly competitive tournaments continues to exist . It's your opinion and i choose to stick to mine . | ||

valve never asked for any money from cs tournaments blizzard themselves didn't ask for any money from wc3 tournaments and suddenly they are so intent on a few hundred thousand dollars from kespa? (even though they are making a shitton of money from wow) i dont even care but they could at least say "yes we want to kill bw" | ||

They didn't break copyright? Maybe that could be the reason? Perhaps? | ||

You didn't think this through did you? | ||

A thankyou must also go to Gonodactylus. A lesser person might have stopped posting after embarrassing themselves the way you did on page 5. But not you! You just kept on going. I for one don't mind a thread being completely derailed as long as it's for a good reason, reasons like "the benefit of the TL community" or "your ego". | ||

So, you don't believe he's an undergrad, and you're saying you're as much a PhD as he's an undergrad. So basically, you're saying that you're NOT a PhD? This is getting confusing. Also, PhD or not, you claim to have a lot of knowledge about this, and you begin to see that simply stating facts is not going to win the 'debate' (if you can call it that). Could you please start referring us to your sources? At the moment, people might mistake the facts you're pointing out to them as just being your opinion. | ||

Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to go two steps forward. While Kespa has driven the Korean e-sports scene to the point it's at now, it doesn't mean the foundations for the growth of e-sports have been healthy or that it's been done the right way. Korean e-sports scene in general (even pre-kespa) made a lot of mistakes down the road that are slowly coming back to bite them, and I should also add - rightfully coming back to bite them. Not to mention that kespa's reputation was severely damaged a number of times way before the final showdown began with the coming of SC2. Then among an ocean of examples, just look at the way they've treaded NaDa recently (twice even - during showmatch vs TLO and after fully switching to SC2). The BW scene under KeSPA regulation might be exciting, big, popular and flashy (no pun intended), but you can't save something that's fundamentally rotten in its core. Even now, regardless of the outcome of all this mess, BW scene has suffered permanent damage. No amount of clinging to the past and the "old ways" will help. | ||

Not until a certain number of people publicly apologize. As for the 50+ reasons as to why Kespa is bad. Some are factually wrong. Some are disputable. And some are even why Kespa is good, like no.3, no9 through 13 and several others. Most of the negative ones have to do with Korean culture and a lack of a player union. People like Boxer and Nada could have formed player unions but instead they did in fact betray progaming, as kespa puts it, as they are now in Blizzard's camp when their entire career they thank to SCBW/Korea. Korean progamers never speak out on anything. Be it against Kespa/Blizzard/North Korea/US whatever. That's a problem they have. They don't stand up for their rights. They have to do this themselves. But never will they have it as good under Gomtv as Blizzard fears professional teams as one day the teams may stand up against them again, creating a new Kespa. If Kespa could run SC2 leagues, SC2 would have been way way bigger. Globally as well as in Korea. Blizzard should have teamed up with Kespa and OGN and MBC, yet it was Blizzard's choice to destroy Kespa and Kespa's fear of being destroyed. You can't blame Kespa for fighting back and fighting dirty. SC2 could have been huge. Yet we only have amateur tournaments outside of Korea and in Korea we have only gomtv with a semi-pro tournament only broadcaster through the internet. No huge sponsors, no professional teams, no cable tv broadcasting. Imagine if all teams just started a SC2 team alongside their SC BW team and ran leagues besides the ones we have now. It would have been so much bigger and more professional. Remember any other tournaments in Korea are banned. We have hundreds of tournaments that don't really matter here in the foreigner scene. In Korea they don't have anything like that, only Gomtv. Listen to what SuperDanialMan has said about this all. He worked personally with most people at Gomtv/Kespa/OGN/MBC, etc. User was warned for this post | ||

Conversely, I have sources that state that it is fact that everything you said it wrong! But I won't cite them until I get 120 people to give me a hug over this forum. If you don't get what I'm saying, it's easy to call others wrong, and state that you have sources, but then put out a demand before being willing to cite them. It's also makes for a horrible argument. | ||

Also, SC2 already has progaming teams that are sponsored (ogs/prime/werra/startale/etc). Hell, boxer has his own sponsorship. e-sports in korea has reached a point where a KeSPA is not really necessary. The players are sponsored and have their houses, the game is popular, the broadcasters want to broadcast and everything is good. There is no reason to have a KeSPA right now for SC2. The foundation that KeSPA laid out for BW is being put out on their own terms by the players. | ||
