Yes, lets make sure people can't watch sc2 anywhere but large tournaments. Thats going to be ideal! Of course, good news has a thing of not being highlighted. But from the very very little I've heard, it sounds like its just as good they disbanded. as mentioned about 1000times on TL already: sc2con had nothing to do with nasl. | ||

It's actually the reason why Moon, Lyn, and Soccer (Fox's W3 team) were allowed to play sc2 while Fox's BW team were not. Of course, given this development. Things will change soon. Wrong. Another person who has no idea what Kespa is. | ||

I'll sit down and read the entire 179 pages on the thread now. Seriously. If you don't have anything useful, don't answer. My question was sincere. If every team in sc2con decided to pull out, and nasl said it was sc2cons decision, it would be nice of anyone to actually confirm whetever or not that was the case. Not just throw out "you're wrong" or "read the thread". | ||

FOX took Moon in because he was a super star on his own right. He had a remarkable market value in the WC3 scene, and the team obviously believed that he was worth the investment. I can't really see how Kespa is in anyway responsible for Moon's salary. Moon was on MYM for three years. He was paid that figure. In fact his incredulous salary on MYM back then was partly the reason why players like Lyn, Remind and Soju decided to leave Team WE, because they felt that they were underpaid by a huge margin when they all believed that they were capable of competing with Moon. and when teh fuck did i say Kespa paid him? watch all the whole quote. guy starts talking about if its possible 2 get 200k+ per year salary without such a big organisation. and then the other guy quotes him and talks about a player that is part of a team from the organisation?!?!? i never said Kespa paid him. but WMF paid him who is/was part of Kespa. but keep seeing stuff i never wrote | ||

FXO had to negotiate with SC2con for FXOsc's participation (one of the major reasons FXO left SC2con shortly afterwards), team MVP members who wanted to play were not allowed to play because Mr.Chae and the team coaches (except SlayerS) came to the agreement that none of the Korean teams should participate. So basically... the members of SC2con made a decision on behalf of the teams represented by SC2con concerning the Korean scene represented by SC2con... and then proceeded to say "SC2con had nothing to do with this" in official channels. It's semantics. The same people involved, the same dynamics at work. And internally (in FXO's interaction with the others) it was referred to as SC2con.

The first two examples he mentions are perfect analogies to GOM/MLG/IEM and no one has anything against these tournament organisers. ![]() His last analogy also fits, because FIFA is a governing body controlling the scene - much like Kespa - and it's a terrible organisation, completely corrupt (it's openly known that its most important members can be bought when decisions are made) and mostly concerned with filling their own pockets on other's people expense. | ||

GOM/MLG/IEM sends out invites and then sells tickets/HD passes/advertisement. They risk nothing compared to Kespa, who pay for the team infrastructure, pays player contracts and pays them a steady salary (compared to any other E-sport it is very stable). If anything the above 3 are more similar to many OSL/MSL sponsors, who just put up money for an event. If GOM/MLG starts putting in some money beyond prize pools, then you can compare the two, till then they haven't put any real investment into E-sports like Kespa have (and no Gom's 2 bedroom apartment does not equal a training facility). Also, the notion of corrupt Kespa boardmembers lining their pockets with E-SPORT DOLLAZZZ, is laughable at best and shows you have no clue about the Korean BW scene. Yes, the BW scene, that streams games for free, uploads VODs for free, and lets you watch live for free is simply rolling in da cash. | ||

Kespa is irrelevant to Moon's pay as a WC3 player. You're trying to establish a link that isn't there. | ||

Right now they're limited by the GOM exclusive contract (once that ends, maybe they'll expand to SC2 and take control). Honestly I can't wait to see what happens. KeSPA should make a commercial based on this when they return: + Show Spoiler + With a KeSPA representative playing Tommy of course and Bobby Kotick playing the villain: | ||
