Also why does everyone hate sc2con too? the reason ppl hate kespa was because they had to enforce some of the rules they place which was stupid such as the ppp and the free agent crap, but some fail to see the fact that kespa is central to the structure and running of pro BW without kespa BW today and even SC2 would not be part of the korean culture. I myself dislike many of their decisions in the past but the fact is that they have a set rule and stuck to it shows how kespa is very organize and professional. And in the past year kespa didnt really mess up at all iirc. edit: kespa is the ruling body of e-sports in korean mainly BW | ||

Every sport has it's Association and SC2 will need it too, or It will all go downhill - Sooner or later. There is no Rules whatsoever right now. Players/Teams are doing what ever they want and we see more of that every day. PS. Do you even imagine NBA/NFL/NHL or any other sport without "big guys" taking care of rules and everything? | ||

Or is it that previous exclusivity of high caliber players to Korean centric tournaments created a good platform to sell tickets and have higher online viewership numbers. With their players going abroad, foreign leagues will reap the rewards of having the highest caliber players participating and the possible cost of overlapping with a Korean tournament, thus losing viewers and sponsorship money to their own top tier players playing for the competition. Or is it perhaps that some organizations have the money to invest in foreign leagues and teams, and visa versa, and they are nervous that this will stagnate the Korean development if focus is no longer inside Korea? Whatever the case, it sounds like this wasn't a happy break up, and is likely to yield some kind of stricter representative force either in Korea, or possibly Globally. | ||

That's why a lot of players doesn't want to do anything with them. Like Idra (teamless), doesn't want to be in a team that is related to KESPA. Also some of their rules are just stupid, not logical and utterly non sense. Sc2con is kinda KESPA wannabee but with no real power. They are so rash on deciding things and backfire in the end (see TSL and FXO drama). | ||

Blizzard should start a regulating body for the entire world of SC2 and include some kind of pro-team representation in the decision making process. They could establish official rules and protocol for player contracts and transfers that would help to eliminate PuMa/Stephano type situations. Blizzard already has some basic regulations for all SC2 tournaments, don't they? | ||

Kespa is an organization that was created to "represents" the players, but what is really behind Kespa are the corporations that sponsor and support BW teams I doubt any of those corporations sponsor a SC2 team. there is no reason for Kespa to transfer to SC2 until some of the corporations behind Kespa essentially own the SC2 teams. | ||

But I really hope I'm wrong. Edit: the line that scares me is the one about them not being able to enforce their decisions on players. The flags this raises is that if they want to be able to enforce their will, they will have to have some form of leverage over players, which leads me to think that they will go the same was as Kespa with licences for players that they can threaten to revoke. Licences were also hard as shit to get so goodbye new players and foreigner competition. | ||

Do you even imagine NBA/NFL/NHL or any other sport without "big guys" taking care of rules and everything? you really compare tournaments in sc2 to leagues in real life ? what is wrong if there are no rules ? what kind of rules are you talking about anyway ? starcraft has alredy its rules on "how to win a game" , and each tournament have specific rules aswel , if you think we need an organisation for players and teams , why ? what can bring right now an organization ? i rly dont see anything that we lack off . we have competitive teams competitive players , sponsors , coaches , managers , training houses , tournaments . organizations suck so much they only bring drama and force to apply stupid rules ( only in korea cuz only there they are able to do so ) . p.s. i rly wanna see an organization that come in europe and try to "force" teams and players to do certain things . FREEDOM ftw. User was warned for this post | ||
