Break Down: Negotiations between Gretech and KeSPA stop

"We cannot sign off on the Proleague, since it will compete with the GSL.", says Gretech responsible at the beginning of the fourth negotiation, demanding a reimbursement from KeSPA for the Global StarCraft 2 League.

Entering the negotiations by signing an NDA on June 23rd, the four coming meetings between Gretech and KeSPA did not come up with a conclusion about the continuation of the Proleague, rather making each's standpoint clear.

That is that Gretech fears about the Global StarCraft 2 League:"If Proleague goes on without any monetary reimbursement, then from our position, we can end up in a position where we're not guaranteed any profits as GSL can be damaged because of the Proleague." They continue explaining that "the GSL can be damaged again due to the Proleague schedule.", and referring to the boycott of GomTV Classic.

KeSPA on the other side hold the opinion, that "because we don't make any profit from the Proleague, and the 11 progame teams all pay quite a considerable amount of money for team operations and the board of directors free, it's quite difficult to pay Gretech reimbursement in any sort of currency." They continue to say that "there isn't any more point of negotiations" when Gretech does not accept the fee for Intellectual Property.

In case KeSPA runs the 10~11 Proleague season without an agreement with Gretech, Gretech makes clear that they will take legal actions:"(I)f the Proleague starts without negotiations, then they will not be able to avoid legal consequences." However, they hope to reach an agreement with KeSPA.
