At the end of last year's WCG finals, the official uncharacteristically did not announce the venue of the 2011 finals, once the news will be held in Shanghai or Nanjing, China, but later proved that it is only a good wish.  Los Angeles WCG2010 Finals has been 4 months, the official still did not announce the WCG2011 World Finals, but the last few days there is news that the WCG finals will be held in South Korea.  It is also noteworthy that only 2 events (FIFA11 and CS1.6) have been released, while the popular games StarCraft, StarCraft 2 and Warcraft 3: The frozen Throne have not yet been officially declared WCG's game.  It's got to be a guess, WCG.  Blizzard games may be excluded according to South Korean media reports, Blizzard's games will likely be excluded from this WCG's game. This year, blizzard on StarCraft intellectual property rights issues and KESPA (Korea Electronic Sports Association, its 2 major television stations OGN and MBC) dispute constantly.  Blizzard has now sued MBC, the court has two hearings, but the dispute remains unresolved. Samsung against Blizzard game WCG main sponsor Samsung Electronics, it is KESPA (Korea Electronic Sports Association) Director, it is reported that Samsung Electronics strongly opposed to the WCG2011 in the game will be the official official competition project,  There are even rumors that Samsung Electronics specifically informed the WCG Organizing Committee: The blizzard game out of the formal event.  WCG Organizing Committee of course will not easily exclude blizzard game, after all, Blizzard of several games in the field of electronic athletics has a very important position.  It is the result of these struggles that WCG officials have been slow to announce WC2011 's official events and hosting them.  Samsung's opposition to Blizzard's live broadcast is also a problem WCG's official live broadcast in South Korea was held by KeSPA's OGN radio station, and there were fears that WCG's live broadcasts would be greatly affected by KeSPA's battle with Blizzard.  The likely result is that even if StarCraft, StarCraft 2 or Warcraft 3 remains the WCG official project, OGN Radio may not be broadcast in South Korea. WCG staff revealed: If the blizzard game is really listed as a formal event, WCG is already on the possibility of "OGN not in South Korea to broadcast WCG, or even South Korea does not send a team to participate in WCG" This situation to do the worst. "It is understood that WCG official official will also be announced in the near future WCG2011 global finals related matters." (Edit/Fire)
