Officially, CJ claims they are just an investor in Gretech and have no interest in its actual operations. Technically, CJ has a 49.3% stake in MNET media, which in turn has a 24.5% in GRETECH. ^^; | ||

Kespa is ruling over pro league and selling rights to boths channels As far as I know, Kespa holds 0 rights whatsoever on individual leagues. (But to monitor them and sanction them so they count in ranking) That means therefore, if MBC wants to run MST the person he has to talk to now is Gretech, meanwhile BEFORE ALL THIS, he had to speak with no one. In that matter, Kespa wouldn't go to court, but MBC would. This is entirely different. Kespa was the head negociator and it failed. So now, tv channels have to act on their own. It's more complicated then how people make it sound. It's actually a mess because GOm is a broadcasting company. So basically, channels now have to pay a fee to run their individual leagues. To Gretech to Blizzard ? What are the details ? We don't even know what kind of money all this represents. I doubt it is big since MBC game isn't a rich channel by any mean. The way it's heading now, you could imagine GOM turning soon into merely a middle man between OGN / MBC and blizzard. If MBC or OGN gets to launch sc2 countent anyday soon, I even doubt GOM will keep running things on their own. Maybe GOM will end up making english commentating content on official MBC / OGN games. That'd be awesome. | ||

I hope you know that it creates another expense in the cost of the producer of the tourney or the league. Meaning the chances for the players getting a raise is going to be close to 0. (Especially if Gom will issue similar demands as blizzard) | ||
