AfreecaTV said, "Our former announcement was only about principle. We now realised that this issue is much more important for esports and game industry than our thought. Also, during consultation, we become understand KeSPA`s endeavor - that`s why we made a 'quick decision.' "
KeSPA responsed, "We admit that there was some sort of technicality issue. We should request stream platforms for cooperation before announcing manifesto. We considered it was urgent, which made some misunderstandings"
Besides, it is known that AfreecaTV even suggested more proactive solutions to KeSPA.
edit: This applies to BOTH BW and SC2 matchfixers.

their explanation is that they heard about the demand through news articles, so Afreeca gave a general statement regarding their policy prematurely before receiving an official request from Kespa. Once they started exchanging words together, Afreeca realized how much impact the decision has on the eSports industry so they changed their stance.

Before that, he needs to remove the illegal betting bookmarks on his browser.
Anyway, I am glad that Afreeca wasn't stubborn about it and changed their decision.

Well there goes that. Afreeca was in a strange dilemma.
|
This is sort of sad in a way.... But I don't think they had any way around it at this point.
|
Likely this was some sort of move pushed by someone outside Afreeca, considering the odd change of position

There wasn't much they could do. Good on Afreeca for not potentially putting competitive players in the crossfire of a forced boycott, at least.

Didn't seem like they had much of a choice. Guess it's time to move on from this matchfixers and streaming drama

Like I said before, this is for the best.

It seems the matchfixers are banned from streaming only accredited games(SC1, SC2 and LoL) by KeSPA. So they can stream the other games or the other contents. I think it's OK.

Korean fans reaction to Afreeca refusing to ban match fixers was pretty intense. TL users didn't see the backlash the Korean community had against Afreeca and when your customers riot against you a company will change their stance pretty quickly.

Thank god they finally listened...
I guess DCStarcraftGall post was pretty small sample compared to the backlash you are talking about.

Well, that's the world we live in.
If it got money attached to it, it is very biased, and if it does not, it will not last for long :/
