Without SC2con, we would've had more Korean players than the 6 (on non-Korean teams) we have now, make no mistake. 2) do not allow pro players streaming. Disgusting that an organisation could make that decision for every team and every player instead of leaving it up to them. 3) did attempt to strong-arm FXO and choya to comply with their demands. They had no right and no control to intervene in internal team affairs like they did, and the way they tried to get their way was fucking shameful (harassment, threats, blackmail). I agree, it was weird because personally I had never heard of sc2con untill the NASL incident. Then all of a sudden for like 3 weeks straight there was a drama filled post about something wrong sc2con did. Not surprised FXO (not fxo korea) had the foresight to bounce when they did. This organization isn't needed IMO. Their demands were crazy, and they just kind of appeared out of no where assuming power. I bet teams like eg,liquid etc were like "Hey, wait a minute. Who the fuck put you in charge anyways?" Of course, could be wrong entirely. | ||

Auctally sc2con wasn't involved in that decision at all, and had nothing to do with it. It was all the teams talking together about it and mr. Chae being the front man (so to speak) | ||

As long as they're less autocratic more flexible about the rules and more flexible about allowing decent change within the esport scene than KeSPA, I'm cool with a global Starcraft II organisation. Although I see Blizzard more as one, seeing as Battle.net seems to be claiming rights over broadcasting and holding tournaments for prizes larger than $5,000. A good example of a global organisation that regulates sports is FIFA. However, there have been allegations of corruption within the organisation and they've been quite reluctant to introduce change (like goal line technology) when it's clearly better than having referees not see a goal then disallow it. | ||

I can see that perhaps a degree of organisation might be beneficial but its not Korea's place to try and legislate on a global scale. To a degree, Korea has only just arrived at a party thats been going on for a decade already and they should buy into a play by their hosts rules. Kespa not required. | ||

For ex, I think they discourage streaming, but StarTale let's their players do so. On the other hand, I have mixed feelings about Kespa. They have done some absolutely ridiculous shit. The battle between Kespa and Blizzard was just greedy and spiteful beyond belief (both sides lost). But Kespa governing SC2 would bring an air of "legitimacy". It would also pave the way for BW players to freely transfer to SC2 without losing their "progaming status" (whatever that means). SC2Con sounds like the League of Nations of Starcraft. Next up- a war between players and teams and then United Nations! | ||
