Please understand that I have no problem with any team managers, or players. I'm quite relieved to hear that, at least  | ||

I'd like to see TSL picked up and supported financially by a foreign team...I'd like to see SK throw their entire weight behind all of oGs instead of just MC and Nada...I'd like to Fnatic pick up a Korean team like zenex or IM or prime. The only real korean teams that should be left untouched are SlayerS and Startale as they are the biggest and most funded it seems. BW has Korean phone companies... SC2 would have Foreign and corporate backed teams. SK Gaming, Fnatic, mTw, EG, coL, Mouz, in the GSTL etc Would be awesome. | ||

The only information I have seems to be scandalous. Organization is certainly a good thing for ESPORTS. In the foreigner scene it might disrupt the current status quo, but it'd probably be good in the long run. Is sc2con fundamentally broken or can some house cleaning make it a force for good? Does it need to be replaced entirely? Everything about FXO's move here looks really good. I don't know enough about sc2con to put it in a proper context though. | ||

God forbid what you say is "perfectly normal" within SC2, all the pro players on professional teams couldn't stream without restrictions. It's unclear how bad it would be. It would mean no free player streams, true. But it would mean much higher viewership and news coverage for tournaments, meaning bigger prizes, more sponsorship money, etc. That would mean teams were wealthier and competed more for top players. Players would lose stream income but gain salary/prize income in exchange. That might make the tournaments bigger events, more professional, etc. But I wasn't advocating it. I'm just saying it's a normal way that professional sports go about converting the general interest in the sport to a stream of money they can use to actually support themselves, run leagues, etc. That said, even if you do think it's a good idea, this does not sound like the right way to do it. It sounds more like a monopolistic old boys club of broodwar vets withy unwritten rules and vague threats than a professional business model with transparency and fairly negotiated contracts. | ||

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. Being an asshole isnt "normal". | ||

Try to get a Korean partner that can help you with understanding the problem. He can be a lawyer, a friend, an expert in esports business or Korean business in general. Obviously that organization wants something from you because you've upset something for them. Perhaps you cost them a number of viewers for some weird reason, maybe you failed to bow in a specific way when you approached them, you never know. That's why you need to employ an expert (at least temporarily) to guide you through. Here is a video that might be helpful to understand the depth of the concept: | ||

Thank you for having the courage to stand up and speak openly. I feel that you are probably not the only one to experience this kind of stuff, but I feel others are being intimidated from speaking out. I hope that this gives courage for those to speak up and abandon an organization that clearly has major issues with how they run things. | ||

preventing players from streaming seems ridiculous to me when they are devoting so much of their life to SC2 and most are barely getting anything monetary back in return. streaming revenue is a viable alternate source of generating some income and it's been denied to Korean progamers by the SC2con. | ||

I am sorry, I can't begin streaming again. I belong to the SC2 Association (E/N:
