According to http://scforall.com/news/news02.asp?mNum=n02&PageNo=1&where=&query=&sterm=&articleNum=900

During the MSL Survivor Tournament last week, there was a dispute between the STX Soul assistant coach Jo Gyu Baek and a KeSPA referee.

Apparently the KeSPA referee said that Jo Gyu Baek and himself had a physical altercation, started by the coach. Gyu Baek said that there was no fight at all, it was just a bunch of swearing go back and forth.


The rest can be read on the site.

The last paragraph is hilarious though.

MOD EDIT:

the coach will be banned from rounds 4,5 of this season, and from the next msl/osl plus a fine of 100,0000won

Yes kespa does seem to kind of suck, I'm glad that even different teams will watch out for each other when faced with ridiculous BS from kespa.

I do so wish they'd spell "Hite" as "Hait" though. After laboriously memorizing Romanization rules I always read it as "hee-tay."

For StarCraft players in a competitive match, this kind of matters. But I guess the kespa ref didn't understand the game very well.

Jo Kyu Baek is really ripped and fit, I think he used to train in Tae Kwon Do or something. Total badass.

This isn't really news. If you've ever been in Korean traffic, there are so many times when there are two guys who get out of their cars and start yelling at each other and once in awhile there are fisticuffs and since the cars aren't moving anyway, everyone is watching. I wish Korean people would expand their cursing vocabulary; it's a bit difficult to get creative.

Yup.. Koreans fight a lot more than their Asian stereotype suggests.

Check our some of their parliamentary sessions for example.

Yeah, it's kind of like having a room full of Dick Cheneys except instead of a crippled man with a gun, these guys fight hand to hand.

It was called the "chicken fight" or something? Its traditional.

Gyu Baek was just protecting a fellow player from abuse of higher ranked officials.. So I guess he wants to look innocent and cover up by suing and claiming a simple assault?
