marine spam, VR, banshee. meh terran meh.

Haha you got intotherainbow and little bit confused with intotherain here . They both used to be protoss in SC1 and were good in their era, however intotherain retired a lot earlier than intotherainbow

Well i have to disagree Nada was a top player during brood war prime hence seeing him in the state now which he's only used when needed  and merely as a back up player for we made fox team is sad ,So the news of him going to SC2 is definitely a surplus rather than a deficit . Besides that having july (fantaprime nick in sc2 )and nada in sc2 only makes my heart cringe because finally we get to see some KOREAN POWER unleashed in sc2 rather than foreigners. There are rumors that the legendary King of terran aka Slayers Boxer may be making the switch too .Kespa's not screwed but I am happy for an Old bw fan like because I am able to see these once feared pro gamer rise in to the scene again with his fast hands and god like micro . Long live BW

Well six figures yes but i guess he still can be called an image of what resemble we made fox and if you check his ranking in team liquid he isn't at the top ranking any more like he use to be as stated in here http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/players it merely shows his ELO rating (his previous points collected ) which never changes through time but if nada were to be put out into the fray with the young guns he cant make it as they are much faster and meaner obviously many out there will tear him apart as the top ace from KT (FLAsh ) Hwazeun Oz  (Jaedong ) and many more could out gunned him easily. Besides all that like i said in my previous post its a good news for NAda .

Kespa isn't screwed for that i know because as a striving Non profit organization which actually cared about their players and provide at least a reasonable pay cheque for the Pro league players they have actually done a good job in making Broodwar an E SPORT event with all their fundings and Companies sponsorship .

Kespa isn't the one who stole Blizzard IP it actually promoted Starcraft to where it stands now as a recognized e sport game that is very competitive to its very core in Korea . Without kespa there will be no Proleagues , no competition and no organization that actually provide a basics needs and fund to keep our Brood war pro's from going out of hunger. Blizzard in all its greediness as its stand now has fallen beyond the reasonable standard of a company that actually is trying to promote a good game (SC2) using dirty tricks such as trying to take over all Kespa rights to air time for their pro league tournament and not only that advertising illegally on buildings to promote sc2 .

Blizzards has change its no longer a company that actually cares to produce a game that actually brings out the fun anymore just look at starcraft 1 when it was released there were no dirty tricks use in it's marketing regime .We all do know that Gretech is a counter part or a silhouette shadow of blizzards trying to do all its might in destroying SC : BW but as long KESPA is there BW would continue to flourish as It's quite painful for me to know that the game I love from such a long time ago since standard 6 (Bw my second game ) be destroyed and going to youtube to find that there is no more pro league any more . Finally my take on the situation I am definitely in support of Kespa as I still want to see proleague and BW to continue its legacy .

Yes about rainbow and fantaprime ( july ) its good news ^^.

Do you think they would want to stop pro league and destroy its construction of the scene and jump on to sc2 ?
They did not challenge blizzard they are just negotiating between them over the screening time of the games blizzards wants to take the prime slot of BW which is to kespa isn't possible at all cost.Show me a proof that Kespa is actually trying to acquire Blizzards IP  if that is what you were saying .

Exactly SC BW is the soul of Korea I don't think any one with a right mind would want to take off a sport which has been existing and money gobbling for 12 years hence no way Kespa is going to let go of BW.

Kespa is funded by the Minister of cultural hence it isn't a body which sets up to be like other profitable organization. According to wiki definition of an NGO  this does qualifies KESPA as a NGO as per requested by you to look at the definition .

This thread says it all to all who thinks Kespa is a money making monster....

this answers your question
Source http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=128517

that is a Q&A panel that can be sugar coated by kespa PR people. until theres more solid information such as TL wiki page, or wiki page, or information from korean govt, or their financial information, kespa can say ANYTHING they want to make themselves pretty in front of their fans.

There are rumors on Team Liquid that Proleague might be starting on October 16th 2010. Fingers cross on this one.

By the way, here is something to all of you SC II'ers: Rumor has it that Boxer is playing SC II casually and goes by the name "ManofOneway" with a winning rate of 65%. That's a pretty ridiculous nick-name but you gotta love boxer if it is indeed true!

I for my honest believe that the Q&A was definitely it's truth despite of there chances of it being a money leeching organization thats the only source I currently was able to dig up and there's no 100% guarantee that any NGO Or NPO will be as it says that sticks to its ideal or what its PR speech maybe . I possibly have done all my can to say that Kespa is not as it what it seems as you all painted it to be a body that is trying to limit SC2 from growing and trying to steal the ip from blizzard . Guess these would be the last time of me replying to this thread as people believe that in order for sc2 to succeed bw mush be abolished from the scene of the earth.

It is merely hypothetical I am suggesting they are corrupt but the possibility of them being not is quite high mind you no other pro gamers in the world earn as much as those who participated in sc bw tournament . Have there been any pro gamer in fps genre or any game genre earn as much as slayer boxer during his prime 1million won ? Being a pro gamer in Korea is a big issue and it's recognize as an occupation . Well you can stick to your sc2 and all your believes but what I am trying to say is that its not fair for Blizzard to come in and grab all the credentials just to ensure that's its bankrupt half baked game to be considered as an esport . When the original SC 1 came out it had already the option to choose 3 race to be played be it in the campaign or multiplayer and it wasn't completed and had a lot of flaws  but with the expansion pack BW it made sc a much MORE balance game . I am not biased in any way what's disturbing me is that in order for succeed BW Must die for SC2 to be noticeable hence killing my proleague players of earning their bowl of soup of the day . Kespa has done a freaking good job in my book for it to bring e sports to this level of international awe to everyone to look back wards and say yeah at least e sport had its respect or closely made its popularity to a real SPORT .
