Kespa, but they shouldn't have invovled IEG.

Even though, both sides have some really good arguments, KeSPA has done nothing related to Organization of Proleague, I say this because, OGN and MBC are the ones behind the organization of it, and KeSPA just backstabbed them in the ass by selling the rights to some third-party organization without knowing they were selling the rights to some people who will just try to fuck everything up.,

I'm with OGN and MBC.

OGN and MBC.

Why the hell should IEG get profit for no effort over a profit grab tactic by kespa?

fuck you kespa.

Screwww you KeSPA, so far everything that's got their name in it pretty much sucks.

Moreover I doubt if they really represent the gamers. They sound too much like a bunch of greedy bastards that control the players and bitch with OGN/MBC.

They are not in a discussion.
Actually the only thing that was happening and already calmed down.
Is that they were getting into an agreement.
And now that I remember.
A lot of South Koreans were helding signs saying "We Love E-Sports" in Shinhan Masters.
Which means South Korea as I expected goes for the good manners and in my opinion clever resolution of ideas.

Kespa want to erase the leagues(I mean, Mbc Game Starleague and OnGame Net starleague) and
take their rights by force.
But, I think they just an idiot(What kind of idiot? sloopy and coward idiot).
Worst of all, Kespa delete these words from their brain : Fan, viewer, audience.

hmm..because I am not a good English speaker, I cannot tell you something I know and see fluently.

I side with KeSPA. OGN/MBC have a good thing going but, as TV broadcasting stations, they are incapable of expanding e-sports properly. The people who run KeSPA are the ones supporting the gamers themselves. They have invested their money into teams of gamers because they believe that their companies will profit from it. Of course they want e-sports to succeed more than anyone, since for them it means big money. OGN/MBC want the status quo to continue because it has brought them success, but keeping the status quo means a limit on growth. That's fine with OGN/MBC, and it's fine with the fans, since they're all satisfied right now. But investors, who are the people making shit happen, are not fine with keeping things the same. It's all about growth.

From a business perspective, it seems OGN/MBC are getting fucked. Don't feel bad for them and support them. Rather, if you really wanted the status quo to continue, you should scold OGN/MBC for not having better business capabilities because they fucked it up. As far as I can tell, KeSPA especially, as well as IEG, have "won" the business side of things and will thus get to push their agenda. As I said in my first paragraph, I like their agenda better, and I'm glad that they knew how to get it rolling.

I'm on KeSPA's side but I really think they should've talked it out with OGN & MBC Game before taking such radical action as involving IEG. But OGN & MBC Game's actions so far have been nothing but childish, so KeSPA might have been forced to sell it to IEG to get some reaction from OGN & MBC Game.

I'm sure nobody's ever thought that pro gaming can come to an end because of this.
