That's odd. They must have had some adequate reason for urinating all over the potential games. Unless we're dealing with ridiculous levels of corruption, in which case we should all grab our panic blankies and stock up on food. | ||

That's highly highly unlikely. SC may be a phenomenon in the esports world in korea, but that's only in the esports world. It's not worth nearly as much as most physical sports. | ||

I'm not a big fan of Kespa, but at least they have a track record of running something that approaches professional quality. Blizzard's events tend to look cheap and amateurish. Kespa is a fun bandwagon to jump up and down on, but they basically created the best version of esports on the planet. Blizzard is a software company, not a media production company, and every attempt they have made at it so far shows they have a ways to go. Would kespa style management work in the states? Maybe not, but it is designed to serve the industry located in a single city. There are things they could do better, but there are already a lot of things they do right. | ||

Kespa is run by the proteams, so they didn't just "jump in". They helped create an entity to manage pro teams, licenses, drafts, etc, and negotiate between the teams and broadcasters. Obviously it is very incestuous because OGN owns a team, SKT1 owners help run kespa (thus the GOM problem) etc etc. It is all the same people wearing different hats. | ||
