Oh, finally, some potential source of information. Who is this Juneo dude?


The Koreans are saying that it is most likely Lee Jun-Ho, an ex-coach of Prime who now holds some sort of executive role in SC2Con.

Now if only we could get all the NASL players back on board -.-


The players are interested I'm sure, it's their managers that are the problem.

So much unnecessary politics. They should try to improve the level of events, make it comfortable for all players in korea and support the public SC2 scene. The topics of discussion are ridiculous. Disband SC2CON until the managers reach a mature level.

You gotta do what you gotta do, Starcraft 2 is no longer "Just Korea" , if that was the case we would be run by the Evil Empire ( Kespa ) Good Job FXO.

-SC2CON = Evil Empire.

-FXO = Rebel Alliance :D

- On a more serious note, i believe the International teams, FXO, TL;, EG dignitas etc etc, Should start thinking of creating an organization, SC2CON / KESPA are not acceptable SC2 is not just Korea, we are no longer in Broodwar , in the times where the Evil Empire ruled the Kuprulu Sector.

-however something like SC2CON is needed but should not be exclusive or just Korea, such thing is unacceptable, GJ FXOBOSS. :D

-PS. : I officially declare SC2CON "EVIL EMPIRE" from now on.



so that makes Boss, Admiral Ackbar!

After my initial post. I have receieved alot of communication with the Korean community, including the person with whom FXO have had a huge problem with.

Although the acts that I perceived as threats and blackmail are still being perceived as such I have been requested to give a chance to the organisation, until we meet in Korea in September.

After this organisation has met. I will act with the same transparency as I have in the initial post that was posted here.

Everything that happens, plus a detailed explanation of what will happen will be posted here. Which will document the entire thing for public knowledge.

I hope I haven't upset anyone by removing this post, but I feel its best for business to take the meeting first.

Thanks for the support guys!


Peace

Looks like sometimes to get payed attention to you just have to kick down the door, huh? Good luck with the meeting; no matter the outcome you've got a fan in me. FXO Fighting!



Looks like it. Sometimes you have hold people's feet to the fire to get stuff started and resolved and that's what FXO did and I applaud them for it. Good luck with the meeting.

While you bring up a valid argument, you also have to realize FXO sorta did just walk into Korea and acquire a team without a deeper background understanding.


A team which approached FXO, not the other way around. It is obvious that alot of SC2 teams are struggling in Korea right now, fOu were lucky to get picked up by a serious sponsor like FXO.

Oh no, it sounds like sneaky-Asian* double-speak ... My mom does this shit all the time! She'll say something insane and rude and weeks later completely deny it and pretend I've misinterpreted or over-reacted.

Watch your back! LOL

What are we supposed to make of this? I'm certainly not calling you a liar by any means, or accusing you of making up stories; but for what reason can you not even provide an example of a phone call you received, or a threat or some experience that you can retell that would at least add some sustenance to your story?

Right now, your post consists of - Sc2con did this and this, it was very bad and we don't like it. Thus, we have decided to leave Sc2con.

I'm not one to pry for information, but if you can't give detailed examples, or give proof, or something your story is just a story. If there are legal reasons or for some other reason you can't disclose information, that's fine.

I also realise TL.net is an sc2 fan site. We can't and shouldn't expect you to tell us everything you know about your own personal issues; I understand that. However, a little more detail is necessary imo.


2 days ago, choya got a call at midnight with someone arguing with him about our team uniforms.

That enough for you? I try not to release too many details incase legalities ensue, and by mentioning the above statement, I can no longer use it in court if necessary as its been tainted by public knowledge. But since that was the least of if, it is an example.

When choya said "talk to Josh" i.e me. They wouldnt.

Whilst, of course honesty is a very big thing in any announcement, you have to understand there are legalities involved and posting every single thing can taint any legal case against someone.


Of course, I understand. Thanks. I would hate for this matter to escalate; and for FXO to be disadvantaged because they cannot use information due to releasing details publicly; I would never wish for that to happen.

Cheers for explaining.
I see the want to in your eyes.

In a very short time sc2con has sullied their name beyond redemption with me. I hope the players who this organization supposedly support are aware of the bad PR this group is giving them. I can understand now why SlayerS isn't a part of it as well, could probably smell bad business sense a mile off.

SlayerS is the only team that hasn't joined SC2con (yet, or never). I guess BoxeR and Jessica have foreseen what could go wrong, or at least have endless 'issues' with a group like this. I hereby hail the wisdom of the Emperor!


I guess Slayers' players don't sleep in bunk beds. I guess sponsor revenue would be divided among players? I don't think so. Jessica is a business woman and she can decide if and how much she would share revenue if she owns the team. Guess what happens if she would not share revenue with players? Who's going to stand behind the players? No one. No SC2con. Jessica is the one that makes decision whether to give out salary. Players can leave or stay.

I'm not saying Kespa or SC2con is bad or good. But, one thing I'm sure is that thanks to this organization that BW has been so big as an esport. It's not Boxer that created esport. It's an organization that created and organized esport. That's the reason foreign BW wasn't big; they weren't organized. I know a lot of you guys don't wanna hear it; but it's the truth that things need to be organized and rules must be enforced, either it's a country, company, or any organization. Things grow because of effective organization; and Kespa is an example of this. Every organization has a boss; and that boss is sometimes bossy. But, a bossy Kespa has helped grow esport more than all the loose foreign community combined.

Now, imagine there's a foreign esport organization that has rules to be enforced that consists of all foreign teams; and this organization decides to pull all the teams together for a discussion and say: "we're gonna create an SC2 league based in Los Angeles and we hope participating teams to build team house around the LA area; we don't wanna have all the little online and weekend tournaments anymore; we want one big professional league with monthly tournament like Gomtv or protentially, like MLB, NBA,...".

So apparently he's received a lot of feedback from the Korean community, I want to know what they said!!! Was it on Fomos (aka reactions) or just personal messaging? Spill the details sir!

Players sign contracts, so I have no idea why you're saying all this stuff. And it's usually yearly. Jessica can't just promise them something then say "fuckoff".

*All these are my speculations and opinion of what has been happening. Nothing more*

I suspect that the SC2CON is a lot weaker than what many people perceive it to be. After the Puma situation, a lot of people seem to start thinking it's a big governing body, which is strange since obviously most people has never even heard of them before.

What I think is that they are actually a simple get together, where the coaches can consult with each other ( discussions ), rather than coming together so that they will make all decisions collectively. In addition, it seems clear that they have no actual power, seeing SlayerS aren't in it and that TSL can easily pull out of it with just a disagreement.

I also think that the situation is exacerbated by the fact that quite a number of teams have the problem of low funding, meaning that priority of survival comes first for them. That can result in the broken "power hierarchy" where some people are simply more comfortable at making decisions without any actual authority, while others simply have much bigger issues on their minds.

Based on the updates and lack of any clear information in this thread, we've decided to remove it from news until the situation becomes more clear.
