Samsung pressure WCG Organizing Committee: Blizzard Games or will be WCG removed

Original: TIG English: Teamliquid.net translation: Nayuki According to the Korean media disclosure, StarCraft and Warcraft 3 will likely be removed from the WCG2011 competition project. Now 4 months after the end of the Los Angeles WCG2010 finals, WCG officials have not announced the WCG2011 World Finals. Even the official announcement of the 2 events of 2011 (FIFA11 and CS1.6, respectively) from the current South Korean news, Blizzard's games will likely be officially excluded from the WCG of the event.　　Cause due to the 2010-year StarCraft intellectual copyright dispute. StarCraft and Warcraft 3 May all be missed WCG Note: Blizzard (along with GOMTV) is in dispute over the intellectual property rights of StarCraft and KeSPA (the Korean Electronic Sports Association and its 2 television stations OGN&MBC).　　Blizzard has sued MBC, the two sides held two sessions, from the present see still no possibility of reconciliation. The biggest problem is WCG, the main sponsor of Samsung Electronics, as KESPA (Korea Electronic Sports Association) director, Samsung Electronics strongly opposed to the WCG2011 in the official game of Blizzard game.　　Even Samsung Electronics specifically told WCG organizing committee: The blizzard game out of the formal event. WCG of course the organizing committee does not agree, because once Blizzard game is removed will greatly affect WCG's position and attention in the world.　　The Samsung electronic response: "Like any other gaming company, ask Blizzard for sponsorship--since they chose their game, they will pay for it."　　As a result, WCG officials have been delaying the announcement of WC2011 's official competition: whether it will include StarCraft: The Battle of the Hive, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, and StarCraft 2: Wings of Freedom as official WCG. WCG2011 Contest vote: RTS list Another difficulty lies in the previous NetEase reported "WCG2011 finals Warcraft live into a difficult problem."　　To put it simply, WCG's official live broadcast in South Korea was held by KeSPA's Ogn station, and intellectual property disputes pushed Ogn and blizzard to the opposite.　　If StarCraft, StarCraft 2 or Warcraft 3 still become WCG's official program, OGN Radio will still not be broadcast in South Korea, he said. Therefore, although the WCG organizing committee does not want to exclude blizzard games from the formal project, but an internal staff worried: "Once by OGN radio, not only will affect the domestic broadcast, WCG will not be able to organize the South Korea Division competition!" "The insider also revealed:" If the blizzard game is really listed as a formal event, WCG has been in accordance with the "OGN Not in Korea domestic broadcast WCG or even South Korea does not send a team to participate in WCG" and the worst plan. WCG official officials will also announce in the near future the WCG2011 global finals. (Edit/Heavy)
