The whole point with sc2 is that you cant just start your own league like BW, but you need blizzard's contract and permission to go ahead. Surely any BW teams that come over will have to operate within the framework Blizz + GOM has in korea? which is the GSL as the only league and the GSTL as the only team league. I dont see how Kespa could re-create their BW situation. Blizzard can't do shit about it. It's all GOM at this point since GOM has that exclusive contract. | ||

It only seems to protect teams from having to pay the players, decent salaries. Transfers are always good. They show the esport is alive and the money is flowing. And if bw players switching take money away from current sc2 pros, then so be fucking it, they deserve it better! Don't fix what is not broken. Give free enterprise a chance you marxist/stastist nuts!  The problem they're discussing in the interview isn't so much about foreigners but about current korean pro teams switching to sc2 and basically forcing their way with their money. Imagine if a player like Flash switched to SC2, it's unlikely that he'd be on a team such as oGs instead KT would just invest in their own SC2 team. That's where the problems arise. All these BW teams switching inflates the amount of teams in the GSTL but shouldn't the teams who were there first be the ones to reap the rewards? Such as IM, Prime, Slayers. Those teams aren't involved in BW (and not taking anything from them) so why should bw teams be allowed to simply walk in and force their way in regards to SC2. This not only affects the teams and players but the people who work at GOM. | ||

It's their own damn game, they should put their foot down and at least use the rightful power that they have as the CREATORS of the game. Instead they don't get involved unless their earning power gets threatened. Pretty sad. | ||

I'm willing to bet that he's not just banned in Korea. He'll get banned in foreign events quite simply because foreign organizers are afraid to receive community backlash for accepting him. Savior's practically a persona non grata in the whole of esports. | ||

Mr. Chae> Our stance is that there is no problem as long as current SC2 players perform better than BW pros when they switch. how are they going to do this? Is Gom going to break their fingers ? I don't understand this at all.. And I think they will need to expand the GSTL if there are more teams, otherwise it would be unfair. Regardless of the teams. | ||
