What benefit do they have while clashing with Blizzard? ...

and why KeSpa programer cant try SC2?

is it under the contract that they cant play any other blizzard games?

and wtf....everything evolve ...that include Starcraft as well....

KeSPA told GomTV to pay money for the broadcasting.

KeSPA refused, argueing that e-sports are like other sports such as basketball and soccer, and we don't pay money to the creator of the soccer ball for soccer games. Starcraft is for the public use like the soccer ball.

isnt this 2 phrase contracting?

You got the message wrong. Kespa means that we dont pay money to the creator of the soccer ball (god knows who, for starcraft, its Blizzard) for soccer games. But you pay money to the soccer teams, etc etc for broadcasting, sponsorship and others (in this case, the pro gamers, Kespa, etc etc).

I agree with Kespa, they are protecting the rights of the gamers, you guys need to understand that in Korea, they practically live from the money they earned in gaming. Its professional over there, its a career. So they expect to get paid when they play games especially during live broadcast.

For this case, Blizzard doesn't want Kespa to earn any money on this. Its unfair I guess.

Hmm, I agree, there is an A and B opinion regarding this.

But Blizzard should handle this properly, they need to know that fans and gamers are their source of income...

But the way I look at the situation now is pointing to this, Blizzard are bullying KESPA.

7. Only GomTV contacted Blizzard directly to request for broadcasting matches online.
8. Blizzard asked only 1$ for the contract fee.


I think Blizzard just purely doesn't want KeSPA to survive. They've only asked 1$ for the contract fee from GomTV. Don't tell me KeSPA can't afford to pay that 1 buck to solve all the problem? Or maybe KeSPA dint even bother to request for the rights to broadcast it? Anyway, I think this will end up in a lawsuit.
