I don't get it...Why is it that Kespa is notoriously strict and difficult to work with, supposed to be good for progamers, yet they've run everything into the ground and have been plagued with corruption & allegations? They just seem like crooked bunch of dudes who have nearly toppled Starcraft from the scene.

As an aside, since people mentioned "free Life", lol...with crooks like this at the top of Kespa, you have to wonder if he didn't feel forced to make some of his decisions - i.e., under duress or family threats. It's not as if he were the only one making bad choices when the rot has spread all the way to the top, we can now see.

Does this guy and this company have any relationship with Starcraft 2? Does kespa still control everything about Starcraft 2 in South Korea?

I'm so fucking sick of Kespa's bullshit. I hope they get shut down and all the crooks rot in jail.

it has very little to do with esports unfortunately; this is everyday corporate crime.

I also think we should focus on individual guilt here and not blame kespa in general. But ofcourse - such a big organization should have some safety mechanisms built in to prevent such stuff from happening.
Furthermore, I consider that some kind of Code A must be reestablished.

Don't be silly. People love to shit on KeSPA and blame everything wrong on them.

The former KeSPA chairman—who remains unnamed in media reports but is almost certainly Mr. Jeon Byung-Hun by his description as a former MP and current member of the Korean president's staff—previously held a position on a government committee with the power to renew Lotte Homeshopping's operating license. Prosecutors suspect Lotte Homeshopping may have "lobbied" the former chairman for renewal.
A) From KESPA to president's staff – Now that's how big eSports is in Korea!
B) Why would Lotte need such shady moves to be able to renew their "operating license"?

It probably isn't so much that Lotte gets benefits directly to their 'operating license' but that with donations these people in positions of power within the government can recommend, give discounts, etc. to the company at later times. It's the 'practical' lobbying that happens all the time in America. Spend a few million to sway the opinions and votes of those in power, and later get back hundreds of millions or even billions from that investment.
