If Blizzard were even thinking of breaking off their relationship with GOM, there's no way in the world that Mr. Morhaime would be sitting in the audience, on camera. | ||

They've had a succesfull cooperation with GOM for about 2 years now, in contrast to a history with legal issues with Kespa. It would be really really strange decision for Blizz to cut all ties with GOM in favour of Kespa.. | ||

Pfft i wouldn't put it past them. they let kespa do their thing up until sc2 was about to be released. this announcement if anything is just a ploy to drum up attention for hots in korea where they've been rapidly slipping. | ||

Team Liquid and it's Metaphors ............................... Seriously though, I am not supporting Blizzard ever again from SC2 and beyond that(Fuck D3), so you can count me out of the scene along with many solid BW fans. | ||

Being catered to specifically by GomTV with foreigner seeds, casters and interaction means they get my eyeballs. How did OGN/KeSPA throw the foreign scene under the bus, exactly? | ||

The only problem, Mike, is that your game needs to improve a lot or SC2 will die in just a few years. Hopefully this huge infusion of talent will catalyze a better understanding of SC2's shortcomings and we'll have a more exciting game to watch when all is said and done. If you are open to suggestions like Barrin's, QXC's, Day9's, etc... | ||

It is like calling NHL out on throwing europeans under the bus. Or fifa for americans. A korean company attends to korean business = throwing foreigners under the bus. That's some strange reasoning right there. Truth is, foreigners were casual players compared to korean pros, during bw (less so in sc2). | ||

SC:BW licenses were handed out via their Courage Cups, and the reason that so many foreigner didn't get those passes is the same reason that many foreigner are unable to make it through the qualifier cups. I kind of doubt that OGN wouldn't try to tap into the international scene because they would be blind to not notice how big the scene is outside of Korea. | ||
