only if i'm a scrub without a backbone. KESPA is going to get screwed so badly at trial it won't matter. Hell most gamers don't even like KESPA from what the pro's have said. | ||

Just like all the videos on Youtube using copywritten material getting taken down years later... Just because they don't do anything about it now doesn't mean they can't do something about it down the line. KESPA is screwed not just on point, but ON ALL FOURS. They should have taken the deal, Blizzard's lawyers are going to gut them in court. | ||

Anyways, I think the fact that this thread was posted in the SC2 section only means that the anti-KeSPA opinions will outnumber the anti-Blizzard opinions. The opposite would probably happen if it was posted in the BW forum, which I think would be a more logical choice considering that this mainly has the greatest effect on BW, not SC2. Tossgirl is terran | ||

Or is it like the previous article about WCG and that kespa leaders just want to thumb down Blizz games as spite? OR this is just to blame blizzard for the war. Probably more along the lines, we don't have any rights to have this game in our line up. We will get sued if we have a tournament with this game in it, as proven by the Blizzard/KESPA case. Just getting sued and the costs that are associated with it is enough to deter in many cases. | ||

You don't get to make the rules when someone has a gun over your head. (in before they shouldn't have a gun to their heads anyway) | ||

I think Blizzard made a huge mistake with their lawsuit. They were planning on using the specter of the lawsuit to pressure KeSPA into agreeing with their terms, and when KeSPA called the bluff, Blizzard unfortunately showed that they weren't bluffing. I wish the lawsuit card was never played in the first place. Many more months of stalled negotiations is much better than what we have now. I believe Blizzard will be fine, especially with SC2 exploding everywhere else like you said. After a while I have a feeling that tournaments will have to include SC2 and Blizzard games whether or not they like it, as there will be far too much money to lose. Its very rare you see any organization give up a large profit for moral/support issues like this. | ||

It is also about forcing(probably too much of a loose term) OGN/MBC to broadcast SC2 instead of BW. For those of you who have not read the article, Blizzard is not in an owmyfuckinggodalmighty position. | ||
