Official Comment from Carmac
I think all of this is getting blown out of proportion, so I think commenting on the issue would only create unnecessary controversy.
From Carmac
"...Nada was in Germany to promote another game (not SC2) for his team
Wemadefox. Kespa agreed to the show match as long as it was not streamed
to Korea and was a local show match. Someone in Korea got ahold of the
stream and was restreaming it on a Korean streaming site. Apparently
Kespa saw this and called Germany to stop the match..."
Different Mod Edit:
Source: FOMOS
A Fomos article suggests that KeSPA had nothing to do with it. The WeMade front office announced:
"ESL was holding an Avalon Online event in Germany, and we received and accepted their abrupt offer for a showmatch with Nada. He hasn't played much SC II, so we allowed the event under the condition that the match be unbroadcasted, but there is no truth to claims that we stopped the match.
There are some rumors going around right now, but it was not WeMade or KeSPA that halted the games. Nada GG'd out quickly in game three because there were network issues, and concluded it would be difficult to proceed with the match. Upon talking to the event administrators, it appears that there was incorrect information about KeSPA relayed to the ESL staff."
So, with two differing stories, ESL people, PLEASE CLARIFY.

Boom
Game done.
WTF, the stream was brought to korea over an uplink with afreeca ...
Is this a typical Kespa move ?
I mean, Ongamenet will show GSL, it looks like kespa trys to stop sc2 in any cases...
Kespa must really hate SC2, and i guess this is an example to not make "pro-gamer license" imo.

I was waiting for this thread to pop up, i wont be surprised if it gets locked quickly.

yes it is
KeSPA > Bnet 2.0, atleast they could play that match again
fucking ridiculous
|
I'm actually surprised on how fast they were able to find the "anonymous" stream in Korea.

KeSPA has a bad attitude against the people who own the original rights to Starcraft and actually created the game. I don't care how much they've put in to the eSports community, they've been huge dicks about control, shutting down GOM streaming Brood War and trying to win the game's rights. They deserve it, and they're just butt-hurt now.

But srly guys Bnets so amazing with all its features that will make you want to always be connected!... OH WAIT!

Why do I get the feeling they were just waiting to shut the showmatch before it even started.
|
War on KeSPA, here we go... ^.^/
|
NaDa was severly behind he lost more than 10 SCVs in TLO's harassment and was behind in units with TLO's death push on its way.
Kind of a dickish move by KeSPA though.

NOOO don't close this thread, people who didn't stay up to watch have to know of the travesty!!!

don't get me wrong, Bnet have shown TWICE in IEM now that it's fail in terms of E-sport im just saying that what KeSPA did was far more bullshit
|
it's a little unclear what exactly kespa did, could someone elaborate?
|
Wait what exactly do you mean by block the match. Did they ban the esl site or what.
|
And NOW I fully understand why Blizzard didn't want to negotiate with KeSPA
Makes me support any Blizzard decisions x100 times more even if that means profit for Activision.

I missed match because I was busy, but people said KeSPA forced NADA to GG out of the game.

They just cancelled the showmatch. NaDa GG'd and they stopped the showmatch.

kespa is just preserving its position in esports. they have the big names and if blizzard wants those names to take part in sc2 they need to throw kespa a bone. i would do the same if i was kespa, its business and kespa is a huge organization employing lots of people, their not gonna lose their jobs without a fight.
and i think we'd all prefer kespa to have all control of esports and blizzard can go make another wow expansion, because honestly kespa actually cares about esports.
|
can someone explain a little in depth about what just happened? how does kespa have control over what is streamed in korea? how are they able to stifle sc2?

it was probably streamed on afreeca, basically korea's livestream, and stuff spreads like wildfire over there.
