"The fight over the intellectual property rights seems to be coming to a close.The dispute between Blizzard and Kespa will be settled amicably as of now, and a license contract will be signed shortly.
The scheduled court date on the 13th has been delayed, the reason being the three parties, ongamenet,mbcgame, and Blizzard coming to an agreement.

Three parties are currently discussing the terms for a brighter future of e-sports in Korea. Ongament, and MBCgame will be at liberty to produce and sell starcraft contents, and open starcraft tournaments.
Both tv networks have agreed to give exposure to blizzard with the logo, and the license fee will be given to Blizzard each year, the fee is unspecified at this time. Initially Blizzard requested an unreasonable amount of at least \0,00,000,000? a year(proleague-both individual leagues included)and Kespa rejected the offer.

The dispute over the intellectual property rights surfaced when Blizzard gave GOMTV the exclusive rights over starcraft 1 and 2. The agreement is believed to have arrived due to starcraft2’s failure to be embraced by the Korean fans. We can certainly hope that the Korean e-sports looks brighter than ever!"

sc2 is indeed a big failure in KR...

i guess there r nt enough variation of build in sc2 yet to create excitement of bw and 2nd reason is that SC2 battle usually will happen on 1 front only as player can hot key all those unit 2gether but bw battle usually happens all over games, not just in 1 battle then gg. U know only 12 unit per hot key
