There have been news that the WCG2011 World Finals "Warcraft 3", "StarCraft" and other blizzard games in South Korea will not live.  Now, the situation is probably worse, because of intellectual property disputes, StarCraft, Warcraft 3, StarCraft 2 and other Blizzard games will be expelled from the WCG World Finals stage!  The World Cyber Games, WCG, may cancel StarCraft, Warcraft 3, StarCraft 2, and so on. Last fall, the Los Angeles Convention Center, the WCG2010 World Finals, was held in the United States.  But now, 4 months after the end of the game, until 2011, WCG officials did not officially announce any news about WCG2011.  At the same time, Blizzard's game could be kicked out of the WCG stage because of the "StarCraft" intellectual property dispute between Blizzard and KeSPA, the Korean Electronic Sports Association, which began heating up last year. Because as a member of the KeSPA, Samsung Electronics, which is also an official partner of WCG, is very opposed to blizzard games such as StarCraft as WCG's official event.  According to industry sources, Samsung Electronics signed an agreement on 24th, specifically asked WCG to remove the Blizzard game WCG competition. But WCG disagreed, WCG said it would affect the development of the tournament and other partners. Therefore, Samsung electronic response "on, to blizzard and other companies to take money!"  "These costs include organizing events and the cost of choosing their games." WCG also struggled with "StarCraft", "StarCraft 2", "Warcraft 3" as an official event.  This is also the problem that WCG needs to deal with before choosing Blizzard as the official event.  There are also many people think that if WCG to the "StarCraft", "StarCraft 2", "Warcraft 3" as the official tournament, but the intellectual property problem is not resolved, OGN (WCG South Korea) is not possible to live these games. Another industry personage pointed out, WCG actually do not want to exclude blizzard game outside the official competition, but because live broadcast is not possible, and with network organizer is very difficult, so it is difficult to send South Korea representative.  He also said that if WCG the blizzard game as an official project, it would be in the face of no live broadcasts in South Korea, and there would be no WCG competition from South Korean delegates. Perhaps we can no longer see these two classic blizzard RTS games on the stage of the WCG World Finals. (Edit/Xu Mingming)
