One of the simpler kinds of lobbying is a lobby group sharing information on how to contact a legislator, or that people should contact a legislator, so on, called grassroots lobbying (in the U.S., at least) and is something I don't think most people even associate with lobbying where I live because of its apparent simplicity and "cleanliness", perhaps as well as it being indirect (as opposed to direct, where a lobby group would contact a person and communicate with them directly). I think most people see lobbying as a way to obfuscate and reflect information, information going to the public/voters, or usually information regarding what money is trading between who's hands. The type of lobbying in this case seems to be the more stereotypical idea that boils down to being that sort of "complicated bribery hogwash", as either my grandfather or an uncle would put it. Yes, there are many types of lobbying. Not all types lobbyist resemble bribery in any way. However, the big corporations that lobby for industries such as pharmaceuticals are basically bribery. Grassroots lobbying is completely natural and organic. It still costs money, like airtime on television and internet to pay for advertising slots, but usually far less to accomplish great goals. | ||

What needs to happen to get Life competing in sc2? - Kespa needs to cease to exist (extremely unlikely) - Blizzard would have to potentially reinstate Life (highly unlikely) - Afreeca/GSL would have to potentially reinstate Life (also unlikely) - The koreans fans and players would have to welcome Life back (exceedingly unlikely) Remember that even if Kespa were to cease to exist, there's nothing stopping Blizzard or Afreeca from banning Life from the GSL or any WCS events. | ||

What would happen if he competes outside of Korea? e.g. gets invited and attends a HomeStory cup? | ||

Life is a convicted criminal, which makes any overseas travel difficult due to visa restrictions. Plus it's possible Life may have had his passport revoked. Secondly there's nothing stopping tournament organizers like HSC, ShoutCraft, BaseTrade, or any other events from banning Life. It's their events and they can do whatever the hell they want. | ||

It's their events and they can do whatever the hell they want. On top of that, tournaments that consider including Life will risk being boycotted by other players, especially Korean players. Plus, they also risk sponsors pulling out due to not wanting to be associated with a convicted matchfixer. | ||

True, most organizers wouldn't touch Life and risk so many other players from boycotting. If BTTV did one though, they should call it IDGAF SC2 tournament. | ||

Who's to say 'KeSPA' didn't benefit from having an influential politician at its head, and tacitly went along his abuses of power? On a related note, it's interesting how KeSPA has somewhat defended Mr. Jun in its public statements, even though he seems totally dead in the water. I wonder when KeSPA will change their stance, expunge all of Mr. Jun's cronies, and try to play the victim while rebuilding their image. | ||
