AfreecaTV said, "Our former announcement was only about principle. We now realised that this issue is much more important for esports and game industry than our thought. Also, during consultation, we become understand KeSPA`s endeavor - that`s why we made a 'quick decision.' "





KeSPA responsed, "We admit that there was some sort of technicality issue. We should request stream platforms for cooperation before announcing manifesto. We considered it was urgent, which made some misunderstandings"



Besides, it is known that AfreecaTV even suggested more proactive solutions to KeSPA.





edit: This applies to BOTH BW and SC2 matchfixers.

their explanation is that they heard about the demand through news articles, so Afreeca gave a general statement regarding their policy prematurely before receiving an official request from Kespa. Once they started exchanging words together, Afreeca realized how much impact the decision has on the eSports industry so they changed their stance. their explanation is that they heard about the demand through news articles, so Afreeca gave a general statement regarding their policy prematurely before receiving an official request from Kespa.

Anyway, I am glad that Afreeca wasn't stubborn about it and changed their decision. Before that, he needs to remove the illegal betting bookmarks on his browser.Anyway, I am glad that Afreeca wasn't stubborn about it and changed their decision.

So they can stream the other games or the other contents. I think it's OK. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemy.

Korean fans reaction to Afreeca refusing to ban match fixers was pretty intense. TL users didn't see the backlash the Korean community had against Afreeca and when your customers riot against you a company will change their stance pretty quickly.

I guess DCStarcraftGall post was pretty small sample compared to the backlash you are talking about. Thank god they finally listened...I guess DCStarcraftGall post was pretty small sample compared to the backlash you are talking about.
