I think there were interviews about that and you can see some aspects of the game design encourage shorter games(for instance expansions aren't as good in many situations because of the way mineral saturation works). The community kinda rebelled against it and the map changes were made as a result of that, but it's hard to say how far they're willing to go. Funny how they also design 1 of the three races being crippled in those small maps. And most of the map pool is still medium-small and not large. And finally another race is also weak but in larger maps so what a fail design lol... I wish they fire that lead designer dude. | ||

It's just a game thats not made by them, how can they be in a position to tell anyone they cant play it competitively? Someone should sue them What the fuck are some of you even talking about. KeSPA is the progaming teams organization and they pay the players, for playing BW. SC2 is nothing to do with them. Players can do whatever they like, but obviously they are not going to keep their original contracts when they don't even play the game. | ||

Even then, they seem to be the singular exception, not the rule. I honestly have to say that I do not completely understand the situation and the politics behind it. And it makes perfect sense! From business perspective it'd be a suicide if they actually helped sc2 flourish, considering blizzard wants to put KeSPA out of the equation... And well, if you say nothing's changed and the rules have always been this way, and not in response to SC2 - that just means that there was something wrong with the rules all along, in my opinion. Things should have changed, and things should be different now that SC2 is there. I always think that the players and their needs should be prioritised, but I don't get that impression from Kespa's prohibitive and restricting system. What exactly is wrong with the rules? The fact that players can't break a formal contract they've signed with their team? This is how it works for every single reputable sport, ffs. Do you see Cristiano Ronaldo going like "Hey, Jose, I'm gonna play for Barca this weekend, is that okay with you? No? Well, I'm gonna play regardless, even if it's against my contract." T_____T The reason why BW is so established in Korea is because the corporate sponsors can be certain that their players won't do whatever the fuck they want. Also why would anything change after the release of sc2? How is sc2 relevant in any way here? And what do you mean by "players needs should be prioritized"? It's their fucking job. If they want to quit, they can quit, nobody forces them to do anything. ;; This is ridiculous. Are you seriously saying contracted players should be able to choose to play whatever game they want to play? That's as if Real bought Ronaldo and he then was like "I'm switching to basketball, guys." See how insane that is? But it probably is as you say - Kespa really does think of Blizzard as their enemy, and that does explain about their stance on SC2 and preventing players from switching. They have every reason to. Like I said, blizzard started it all and they want to kill BW in Korea to make room for sc2. So why would they not consider blizzard their enemy? If it wasn't blizzard's stupid politics sc2 in Korea would've been ten times as big, with corporate sponsors allover the place, cable TV broadcasters and so on. | ||
