Wow if this is true i don't know what to say. But there will be a leak probably some day.

Yes, god forbid gamers play games. This is an atrocity that only KeSPA can protect us from.

Yes this is true. Has to do with blizzard/kespa politics and ESPORTS drama. I was hoping Paul Sams would jump on stage and slice the KESPA president's chest open with Frostmourne.

This doesn't make any sense. Some of the games were between WC3 Pro's and not SC pros. KeSPA has no authority over WC3 pro's (To the best of my understanding, correct?), so why weren't the Shy v Who and other matches broadcast?
Secondly, GARIMTO isn't even a Pro-gamer anymore so how can they have authority over him?
This smells fishy, damn fishy.
Obligatory fuck KeSPA.

KESPA still had governance over estars or at least heavy heavy sway with it's organizers...it makes perfect sense. It has nothing to do with the progamers. It's Kespa vs Blizzard. That is all this is about.

Kespa probably doesnt like how Blizzard wants to run future tournaments and want to take over Kespa maybe thats why

Don't these guys understand if they keep up their antics they're going to be ruining E-Sports and its a lose/lose situation for both? Fucking power corrupts all.
It's akin to the NFL not broadcasting Pre-Season games, or the All-Star game. Makes no sense. >.<

maybe its a good thing blizzard looking to throw the cock block on KESPA and the korean Esports powers in SC2.
|
Sometimes I wonder if KESPA is just trying to see how many people they can upset before they inevitably become obsolete when SC2 is governed by Blizzard.
|
Exactly. They're not going to have much going for them soon enough.
It's petty.
|
Im happy kespa is going to die/get whipped into obedience by blizzard. No lan means blizzard controls what organizations do what with battle.net tournys. I always thought it was inappropriate that blizzard wasn't making a pretty penny off a giant competitive organization centered around one of their games. Hopefully Blizzard doesn't abuse this potential, yet I do hope they abuse it enough to cripple KESPA and make them their bitch.
Fuck I hate kespa!

Kespa was a Korean organization suitable for a Korean eSports scene. When SC2 comes and eSports grows beyond their borders, they will find that they do not have the flexibility to adapt to the new environment.
That being said, they are going to hold onto their chips for as long as possible, and create some drama in the meantime.

I don't see why Kespa cannot govern wc3 players. Afterall it's Korean e-Sports Association, not Korean Starcraft Association.

Because WC3 pros aren't licensed by KeSPA. Therefore, KeSPA has no authority over them.
It's like if Grubby and Sky played SC2 KeSPA would have no say if they could play or not. Blizzard controls whether or not SC2 is actually broadcasted, since they payed for the spot in the building, no (And they own SC2)?
The original linked article specifically only mentioned Nal_Ra, Moon, and NaDa all 3 of which Korean and under contract with KeSPA (correct me if I'm mistaken).
Something is afoul here.

There are wc3 pros who have prolicense. Moon, ReiGn etc. You were talking about Grubby or Sky who aren't even koreans.

Blaming KeSPA, sigh. I may be a big opposer of KeSPA in the past, but KeSPA is not to blame today.
No one is to blame today. Games were not intended to be broadcasted at all.

Flex your muscles while you still can, KeSPA.

Blizzard should take over
