Blizzard teams up with GomTV (56 comments)

( Major News: SC2)

Posted by vedic @ 00:26 CDT, 27 May 2010 - iMsg

Today, Blizzard announced an exclusive rights deal with GomTV for all Blizzard products. This means that all major professional leagues that have licensed rights via KeSPA can no longer operate legally. However, Blizzard is allowing for these leagues to continue using the rights until the end of the ProLeague season in August.

Blizzard had been in negotiations with KeSPA for many years, but just recently announced that they would be ending the negotiations and moving forward. KeSPA originally "licensed" the rights for broadcasting Starcraft events in Korea to OGN/MBC, despite not actually having the rights. Now, OGN/MBC will be forced to make a deal for licensing rights through GomTV.

Blizzard 'Stop Talks With KeSPA' (No comments)

( News: SC2)

Posted by ZeritoN @ 23:36 CDT, 26 May 2010 - iMsg

It's been well documented that Blizzard have been having trouble in talks with KeSPA recently.
The disagreement was around the broadcasting rights for Starcraft II tournaments. KeSPA claimed that Blizzard's demands were too strong whilst Blizzard felt their IP rights were not being respected. After months of negotiations, strange power plays and various events, Blizzard appear to have finally given up, and are now set to join forces with GOMtv according to Team Liquid.

GOMtv whilst considered less popular then KeSPA, has had a stronger English speaking following in the past due to them streaming English commentated matches (hosted usually by Tasteless and LiLussie) as well as WC3 events.

Blizzard appear to be having a successful time in Korea currently. Not only are they set to have a new broadcasting partner, but managed to overturn the 18+ rating on SC2 for Korea
