there is obvious conflict of interest, regardless of opinion

afreeca now has gsl in one hand, and matchfixers in the other

how can company continue gsl policies against matchfixer, and continue turning a blind eye to match fixer companies under same banner?

not hard to imagine kespa withdrawing kespa player from gsl, in order to help recover from damage from matchfixing

or use as threat

This legal stuff is getting out of hand.
No one has the right for a specific site to allow them to stream there, if the site chooses to they can ban whoever they want. Its up to the site to decide, there´s no universal human right to "not get banned from specific streamsites", that people think this is scary actually. Blizz decides who are allowed to stream sc2 on the internet anywhere, its no universal right to break copyright. (Just look at Nintendo)

been a long time coming. They can do whatever they want but they shouldn't stream starcraft. This isn't their playground. They can't matchfix and ruin a whole scene and come back trying to make money off of it. Just how gullible do they think the community is?


considering the amount of viewers this fuckers have... way too gullible...

Na, Kespa will use all the social capital they have to make their lives miserable.

I remember Kespa tried to implore Blizzard a few years back to make certain Chinese BW organizers ban Savior since Savior was apparently competing or doing some activity in China.


Which is good. Make sure they will never touch the game again.

you realise this is bad for kespa players as well, losing chance at wcs points/prize money?

the only way is for blizzard to finally make a hardline ethical stance and threaten to withdraw funding from afreeca gsl unless they comply. good luck having a corporate company adopt that over a couple of (currently) inactive matchfixers from a different, defunct game.

Here KeSPA goes again. In a way I support this request but I feel they're going too far with it. What if I'm a full time streamer like MC? I'm not a competitive progamer anymore. Just a pro streamer who streams when I'm not busy with real life. If you still want to watch me stream and you enjoy it, nothing wrong with that. I think.


but MC would never cheat.

I don`t get it. Though I `ve hated Afreeca since 2006, I thought that they would take some responsibility as a body of e-sports operation.

of course KeSPA`s request was not enforceable, but this is sth ethical. meh.

They are. They won't let the match-fixers participate in their tournaments.

and this is the company that will host GSL in the future? The way I see it the new hosts of GSL are okay with matchfixing and ruining the community.

Interesting to see if this will escalate.

Will Blizzard get involved and invoke their rights over streaming?

Will KeSPA boycott GSL?

So if google translate didn't have a colossal name screw up, it seems the Afreeca response is only about the guys from the 2010 BW scandal. In which case KeSPA should realise that they stopped their own involvement with BW years ago so they'll have a hard time trying to control this.
