I can read and write Korean and English, but I really can't make interpretation between two languages. I think this article is very interesting and if you can make translation, if would be helpful for English community.
Basically, this article talks about next e-sports partner for Blizzard, since KeSPA left the negotiation table. It mentions, GRETEC, who owns GomTV, and CJ media, who owns Ongamenet media, as likable choice. But actually CJ media also owns GRETEC, something this article didn't mention, so currently CJ media is on top position to negotiate with Blizzard.
GomTV, well known for having GomTV Classic and The Named, the WOW league, have experience of having lots of professional game tournament and also have very close relationship with Blizzard.
CJ Media, the Cable TV company who owns a looooooooooooots of Cable TV channels directly and indirectly throughout all kinds of matters. Ongamenet and GomTV, which are recently bought by CJ, are very small portion of this company compare to total. But currently CJ Media is the board director company of KeSPA, because they owns both CJ Entus and Hite Sparky, I have no idea how CJ is going to response.
But well, if they smell money, they will go after it.
*New Info*
Even CJ is the board director company, but head of board was actually SK. I guess CJ is just one of the board director. I am sorry for causing confusion.

So OGN/CJ might deal with blizzard behind their backs? :o

This is how I understand from the description.
Blizzard failed to negotiate with A.
So decided to go for potential partner B and C.
But C is more likely, because C owns B anyway.
Ahh...actually C is A in fact.
Complicated business world. I am going to have short circuit. Ahhh

GomTV recently casted SC2 tournament that officially recognized by Blizzard. I am not sure of what OGN will do, but certainly GomTV is looking for opportunity. GomTV was looking for their portion in e-sports for long time, and KeSPA, OGN, and MBCgame worked really hard to mass their plan.

CJ has a big say in KesPA and CJ recently bought over both GomTV and OGN.
ie. KesPA probably rejected Blizzard knowing it has the backing of CJ (who owns CJ Entus, Hite Sparkyz OGN + GomTV) and MBC.
And for those doubting the Korean govt's backing of KesPA, CJ is a chaebol closely linked to the govt so there you go.

Would love if someone translated some of the netizen comments so we could see what their general reaction to this whole thing is, do they see kespa in a different light than we do? Do they consider this a good thing (CJ deal) like I guess most of the TLers would?

Oh sheesh, CJ owns both OGN and GomTV now? Wow @ the convergence.
CJ's players participated even in GomTV season 3, (before it bought GomTV and OGN?) so the CJ team managers didn't particularly go with the flow of other teams such as OGN, MBC, and T1 which skipped the tournament. Wonder if enough of the pro-English group of GomTV is still there, and can influence OGN.
If CJ (with OGN, GomTV) does break ranks with the rest of the KeSPA sponsorship circle maybe it could work.

Can somebody explain to me why there have to be any negotiations with blizzard in the first place?
On what grounds can blizzard demand a piece of the pie, assuming the games played in the tournaments were all legally bought?

i've heard of google chrome having a translator, but how accurate are both of these?

Google's translation software is the best automated translation software in the world by FAR. Shows you how difficult it is for a computer to translate : )

Because they make a profit from Blizzard's intellectual property.
