So it seems like we have 2 weeks left until Proleague kicks off, yet both sides have not come to an agreement.
The large factor in this disagreement was MBC's Bigfile MSL and STX Masters Cup. Although Gretech allowed everyone to broadcast Starcraft matches until August, OGN has come to an agreement for Starleague Season 2. On the other hand, MBC used the period and ended all leagues before September, avoiding legal issues. Gretech is not happy about this.
Gretech has stated that OGN has the rights to broadcast Proleague and OSL with small fee, but they are not willing to offer the same for MBC. Since MBC has ignored to negotiate with Gretech, Gretech said 'NO' to MBC Game. They want the games to be broadcasted outside of MBC.
Guess what? Kespa denied the offer in the 6th meeting, simply because they were going with the idea of 'Proleague needs to be aired on both the OGN and MBC Game.' Here's a big catch: Kespa offered Gretech 300,000,000 won (267332.10 dollars) for Proleague+OSL+MSL for a year.
Seems like this will be a hard battle, as Gretech will try not to provide an offer for MBC to broadcast Starcraft matches, while Kespa tries to get the rights for both stations to broadcast the games.
