How is it misleading?
it should be like KeSPA Interrupts Showmatch or something
Suppose, 'extremely misleading' is going overboard though. |

Good. Shame the showmatch couldn't finish, but ah well.
Not surprising in the least either. |

Maybe not worded very well, but not misleading at all.
Kespa stops show match in round 3 vs Kespa Canceled show-match
But that's beyond the point and deserves a whole different discussion 
So anyone love how NaDa controlled those tanks on steppes of war? Shit was amazing.Last edit: 2010-08-21 20:43:51 |

Blizzard is lucky. The LAN issue got pushed back because KeSPA did something even more stupid.

Kespa canceled showmatch TLO vs Nada at the IEM

It should be obvious that kespa had this in mind when they agreed to let Nada play the showmatch. There's noway in this day and age that it wouldnt have been shown in Korea,thus a staged power play was what us fans had to suffer with.
Blizzard's heavy hand bruised their ego and this was their retort. It's funny and sad how childish kespa is acting. |

This was a big mistake by KESPA. Nada was maybe presenting SC2 to a few Koreans, but really, do you think that there are Koreans that do not know SC2 is out? On the other hand Nada was presenting Koreans and Korean style of play to all the world.
As far as I know, he was only Korean playing SC2 on this event. Casters were also speaking of BW scene which could be a nice advertisment for it. And KESPA uses this oportunity to show the dark side of BW scene, and to show Korean players like puppets that have to fulfill every single wish of mighty KESPA |

It's a big conspiracy!
No, I don't think so. But I do wonder what went through their heads at the time. |

This is what happens when broadcasting rights and businesses takes things seriously. I mean Kespa let them have the showmatch only if it doesn't get shown in Korea. So when somebody breaks the rule, do people really expect them to let it go? Come on, give them a bit of respect, they're not some amateurish livestream/ustream caster.
By making this move, Kespa has shown how serious they are about e-sports. It's in Blizzard's court to respond appropriately. If Blizzard doesn't, then it shows that Blizzard doesn't really care about e-sports. They just want the Starcraft community to do all the e-sports work for them while they reap the profits.Last edit: 2010-08-21 20:53:03 |

How is it a conspiracy? If a government ran organization cannot see how it was a 100% guarantee that the match would be re-broadcasted... then kespa really is stupid. |

Personally I think it's a fairly simple matter.
KeSPA don't have rights to broadcast SC2 in S.Korea right now.
A KeSPA licensed player is participating in a showmatch, which is being broadcasted in S.Korea.
Who's going to get in trouble if it continues? Obviously KeSPA.
It sucks that the match had to be cancelled but the only person in the wrong here is the guy who streamed it in S.Korea, and caused the chain of events to occur. |

This sounds pretty plausible.. After all KeSPA agreed to NaDa playing in the show match originally. |

I wonder if the korean community just saw that KESPA is trying everything to hold sc2 down in korea.
For blizzard, besides of the lan issues, i dont see why/how blizzard is effecting the esports community in any bad way. They granted the rights for alot of tournaments/streams/youtube broadcasts basicly for free. And in my opinion it was the right desicion to give the korean licence to Gom-TV, they seem to be much more liberal than KeSPA. |

Why didn't KeSPA do the logical action and order afreeca or whatever to shut down the person streaming the stream? It would have been less of a hassle and we wouldn't have all of this drama. |
