In late April Blizzard announced that it had given up on trying to negotiate with the Korean eSports Association.

It also means that organizations currently running Blizzard game-related leagues (and broadcasting league events) are on their way out. This includes leagues run by OnGameNet, MBCGame and KeSPA.
