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.
But Kespa is wrong to compare soccer with SC2. SC2 is an intellectual property owned by Blizzard. And now Kespa wants SC2 so that they can make money out of it without the consent of the owner of this said property. Its like someone goes to you and take your presentation and then present it somewhere else for profit.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.

If they really wants to look after the welfare of their progamers, they should go and negotiate with Blizzard and come to a solution to all this problem.
