After Gretech announced that they have signed a contract with OnGamenet, the attention then soured towards MBC Game. MBC Game has been revealed to meet Gretech to negotiate with them regarding BigFile MSL, but have made no progress. MBC Game said that "There is such a huge difference between what Gretech is asking for and what we're expecting to pay that we haven't been able to compromise".

A personnel of MBC Game has stated that "The monetary amount Gretech is requesting is a lot higher than the amount we were thinking. Also, they are demanding that we must make a contract for every contest that uses Starcraft, so they are arguing that we have to pay the licensing fee for both Bigfile MSL and Gyongnam STX Cup. Because of that, it is more difficult for us to reach a conclusion than Ongamenet". He added that "We will continue to negotiate for the safe operations of our leagues"

I hope (and assume) that MBC will just continue running their league in "violation" of Blizzard's supposed intellectual property rights.

It'd be a very sad day for broodwar if this threatened the stability of the MSL

I wonder exactly how big the difference is and what they were expecting. I hardly think Gretech will budge from their position, I hope they at least try to make things a little easier and maybe meet MBC half way or something. I'll be sad if the MSL goes away, one less league to look forward to.
I hope things work out.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

They might be able to negotiate a lump payment so that they can run multiple tournaments. If they're being truthful in their statement, that would solve the problems that they've been having.

*You go to the store to buy a pie. Mmmm pie.*
*The pie you want should cost .... around $8.95, right?*
*Upon arriving in the frozen aisle, you are astonished to see your pie will cost you $130.00*
<You> Well, screw that I'll just make it myself from scratch.
*Upon tallying up all the costs for pie ingredients, its still going to cost you $110.00*
*You now must make a decision to either be down WAY more money than you logically should be, or go pie-less.*
<Friend> Man, well I just bought a pie but damn was it expensive. You gonna get one?
*Not being able to function/live without pie, you try to negotiate with the store, but the store is run by dick-heads with barely any intelligence.*
*Your family at home reminds you that you will need more pies in the upcoming months as well.*

I don't care who the "proverbial pie" "belongs" to. This sucks for the BW community.

I don't know what kind of stores you have in South Korea, but stores where I live never negotiate.

So I should call them dickheads?
