Well I for one, want stuff like this out in the public. It seems that if SC2Con is getting flamed, it's rightfully earned at this point. I had no reason to believe NASL was lying, and I have even less reason to believe FXO is lying. They may be involved in distinct issues with SC2Con, but SC2Con seems to be the common denominator. | ||

The sooner we uncover and get rid of it, the sooner we can get something done right. Either way, nice going FXO. I wouldn't be surprised if FXO once again took matters into their own hands and laid the foundations for a new, solid, organization. But I guess it'd be kind of lulzy to go around expecting them to shoulder and solve a problem the Korean eSports scene have had ever since the days of BW. | ||

SC2 will not have an easy time growing if there is this much drama surrounding players, teams, and organizations. How do you think sponsors and organizers will feel about investing money into Starcraft 2 if this ridiculousness keeps occurring? Well, I think a larger part of that drama IS because it is a young sport. There is very little consolidation right now, it seems like a gold rush at the moment. There is massive expansion in terms of popularity and sponsor interest, but it seems from the business side of things many of these teams or organizations have no fucking clue what they are doing and no business model (or at least not a sustainable one), especially in korea. To make matters worse you have something that has never occurred in any other sport to my knowledge; the majority of the talent is located in a place where the majority of the interest and big dollar sponsors are not. This all makes for a somewhat chaotic situation; hopefully it well consolidate and settle down within the next year or two. | ||

From what I've seen they don't even do that great of a job in promoting the interests of the teams and players. In serving as an arbitrator/mediator between TSL and Fruitdealer&Killer they completely failed to interrogate the veracity of testimony and of easily available financial documents. Promotional events appear to be more the work of Mr. Chae and Gom rather than anything obviously put together by SC2Con (See Boxer/Yellow, Project A, Code A qualifier w/ Wolf, Doa, and John). They don't even serve to facilitate communication between the teams and other foreign leagues, which is a task I feel they should do. I'm with the other people in this thread as being uncertain as to what they actually do or even if they are absolutely necessary. FXO and SlayerS feel as if they'd do better not being under this organization, and that's fine. The representative of SC2Con obviously failed at his job of mediation and facilitating communication. Some of the more hyperbolic statements in this thread need to be toned down, however. Team rivalries are fun and all but eSports doesn't need drama of that magnitude right now. eSports needs to be seen as stable and thriving. | ||

Kinda funny that most sc2 teams/players or GOM doesn't want anything involve with KESPA but SC2con is becoming like one. It's like dictatorship and they want to run things their way. It's sad seeing how Sc2 is growing but the drama is ruining the fun in it. FXO fighting, you gain my respect for stepping in. | ||

I don't understand why SC2 con has to intervene and impose all stupid rules on GSL. EX. not being able to change a race for one season. | ||
