God forbid what you say is "perfectly normal" within SC2, all the pro players on professional teams couldn't stream without restrictions. | ||

I think its supposed to bring structure and cohesion to the league as well as legal counsel and defense ideally. Mainly a management role and an intermediate between players/teams and tournaments/businesses. I think, at least ideally. | ||

Basketball players also get handsomely compensated with a minimum salaried contract in the minimum range of $700,000 per year, paid incrementally every two weeks. They also get free trainers and access to training facilities, coaches, mental and physical health workings, and can sleep in their own frigging apartment. These kids are being treated like slaves. | ||

This is getting really bizarre. Good call, I think. I honestly still can't really tell what the fuck is going on. | ||

This is interesting news though. Hopefully there is substantial reform on the part of SC2Con so that teams can once again have a forum where interests can be frankly discussed and broader strategies planned. | ||

They did many good things for esports in Korea, but some notable things they did bad were: -Boycott Gomtv's BW league they made (ie tell players they couldn't play in it or they would have their progaming licenses revoked (which made them able to play in the MSL/OSL/Proleague)), essentially limiting the Korean tournament scene to OSL/MSL/Proleague and occasional special leagues like STX Master's, er hurting Esports. -Defacing NaDa after he switched to SC2 -People don't like them as well because they are strict in their sometimes bureaucratic rules such as pausing without typing pp resulting in disqualifications -Do the players get fined for not having a certain practice hours? About code of conduct, I guess they don't want someone like Idra or CombatEX. I'm fine with that. They tried to be manner and professional. -Boycotting Gomtv's BW is fine to me if they're in competition with Gomtv. Different Organizations or companies competing against each other for TV market. That's just normal. -Well, Nada moving to Gomtv and switching to SC2 would hurt their market share since they're an organization that depends on revenue to feed their employees. Giving Nada bad image is just normal. It happens between foreign players switching teams sometimes. | ||
