On a message on their website, SC2Con had announced that they will be dissolving as of today.
The organization was formed November of last year as there was a need for an organization to help mediate the differing opinions of teams and organization as the scene was still developing.
SC2Con, unlike KeSPA, however, lacked the ability to enforce a specific opinion, leading to difficulties mediating on dividing issues. “Every team, player, and coach were under different circumstances, and therefore, differing opinions. This led SC2Con to believe that there were strict limitations on what the organization could achieve”, SC2Con commented. Some of the dividing issues were related to player transfers and attendance of foreign tournaments, and they noted that it was impossible to come up with solutions that pleased every party.
SC2Con noted that over the year the limitations of a soft approach like SC2Con were clearly shown. In their closing statement, they remarked that they still believe that an organization with structure was needed for the scene as a whole, and that they will be working to help create such a structure.

yep, it's better that a new organization that can really do things go up now.
|
Interesting stuff, yeah I never believed SC2CON were managing SC2 very well and most of the time they were mentioned was when people had huge issues with them eg. FXOBoSs's situation
|
Finally... Would hate Kespa 2.0.. It's simply not needed at this stage.
|
An organization like KESPA on a global scale would be ideal in my opinion.
|
Yeah, between all the little bits of drama that popped up earlier this year I kinda got the impression that SC2Con was either lacking in power, disorganised, naive, or some combination of all three. I guess if it was only ever intended as a sort of formality for the early life of the SC2 scene that's not so bad. Judging by the post it's clear that those involved came away from all the problems that occurred correctly, so better things will happen in the future.

Hmmmm yummy. Opens many doors and possibilities to Korea.

If you read the post it sounds more like they want to move toward that than to no org at all

Ummm, isn´t this bad? I mean crappy ragtag regulation still protects players more than 0 regulation. Dunno about KESPA, they did a lot of good things for BW nobody can deny that but I really never liked some of their decisions.
Meh, best wishes for the korean SC2 players and teams, hopefully something can work out for them
|
It was probably for the best, the only things that I heard about them since they started was drama or bad publicity :[
|
I didn't resolve my situation, but I do believe this is the best for the people in involved.
I wish everyone in south korea the best!
But I think Kespa is incoming.

I was half expecting this:
1) Notable teams weren't in it (Slayers, FXO).
2) There was too much controversy surrounding it.
3) It had no power, and the rules it seemed to try to make where never strictly followed. For ex, I think they discourage streaming, but StarTale let's their players do so.
On the other hand, I have mixed feelings about Kespa. They have done some absolutely ridiculous shit. The battle between Kespa and Blizzard was just greedy and spiteful beyond belief (both sides lost).
But Kespa governing SC2 would bring an air of "legitimacy". It would also pave the way for BW players to freely transfer to SC2 without losing their "progaming status" (whatever that means).

No. there is a difference between an unorganized group trying to mimic their predecessor in BW, and an actual organized group handling situations properly. SC2CON did nothing but cause problems... I don't think it has to be Kespa to handle it, as I wouldn't like there to be people become nearly slaves playing 16 hours a day, but I would prefer a much more organized group than SC2Con.

I hope rekrul can come in and shine on what SC2 would be like if kespa joined in
|
Too bad NASL has already started. Oh well, there is always next season.

Kinda expected, it was useless to begin with.
It was basically like a student council at a public school with no authority or power whatsoever. It would be nice if Blizzard or GOM can set one up with a couple of sponsor representatives from each team. This way they have finance to enforce things and be taken seriously by the community

Interesting, thanks for sharing the news. Looking forward to updates about this topic.

There is still a big drop in pay going from BW to SC2 that still stands as a barrier between the two.
Also, what has Kespa done that is so ridiculous other than the Blizzard battle (and that too depends on which perspective you chose).

good thing - now lets see what will emerge in the future in terms of creating an organization responsible for those kinds fo things
