"They thought that this kind of method of concealing their faces would be enough to stump me! Do they think I'm that easy to fool? " Boss Jia snorted coldly. He then ordered the Federation's Secretariat to ban all Korean players from participating in all competitions under the association. Of course, this included the WCG competition.
Banning all Korean players at once meant that no matter how they changed their faces, it would be useless unless they were willing to change their nationality.
However, this was impossible. Korea was a country that valued national honor. If they changed their nationality just to compete in a competition, their ancestral graves in Korea would be flipped over. No one would dare to do such a thing.
If there really were such people, Boss Jia would be very happy. This was equivalent to slapping the Koreans in the face. How could Boss Jia not agree?
"All Korean players!" The Secretariat was shocked by Boss Jia's secretary. The secretary carefully asked, "President, there are still some Korean players who didn't join OGN. Now that they are all banned, isn't that too much of a threat?"
"I don't care. If they want to blame someone, then blame OGN!" Boss Jia snorted and said, "Now that the association has just been established, we're facing such provocations. If we don't show them what we're capable of, when the time comes, everyone will dare to bully the association. How will you manage so many pro players in the world then?"
"But …" Although the secretary still had some objections, when he saw Boss Jia's stern eyes, he immediately gave up.
He was someone who received a salary from the Daqian. Boss Jia only needed to say one word and he would be kicked out of the secretary position. He didn't dare to forget his identity.
Therefore, the next day, the International E-Sports Federation directly issued an announcement. Because they discovered that some players were secretly participating in OGN competitions, all Korean players were temporarily banned.
Before OGN stopped infringing on the association's rights, these Korean players would never be able to participate in any competitions under the Federation.
Of course, if the players could leave Korea and accept the supervision of the Federation in a foreign country, then prove that they weren't the anonymous players in OGN competitions, their rights to participate in competitions could still be restored.
After all, the internet in this year was still very bad. It was simply impossible to use the internet to compete between different countries. As for OGN's competitions, they were all offline competitions. This was because only the local area network could meet the speed requirements of these competitions.
Therefore, once a player left the country, it was impossible for them to participate in offline GON competitions.
Once this announcement was made, the entire Korean eSports industry was in an uproar. Many new players joined the eSports industry just to be like their seniors and enter WCG to win glory for their country.
Now, all of their qualifications were directly banned without any reason. Although there was still a way out for them to go abroad for supervision, it was not so easy to go abroad. Many of the contestants were just teenagers who liked to play and did not like to study. They did not even have the money for a plane ticket to go abroad.
Therefore, all the esports players in Korea started to wail. Many people started to complain about CJ Entertainment, and GJ Entertainment was also shocked by the actions of the International Esports Federation. They didn't expect the Federation to be so ruthless as to ban all the Koreans indiscriminately.
Now, all of their players really couldn't participate in WCG. The commercial value of OGN's competition instantly decreased by half!
"Why don't we just admit defeat!" Under the pressure of the International Esports Federation, Monk Park was really scared. Anyway, 5% of the profits didn't seem like a lot. It wasn't impossible to buy the right to join a regular army.
However, what Monk Park didn't expect was that the news of the International Esports Federation banning all Korean players quickly spread through a few media outlets. Then, everyone in Korea was furious.
This damned Federation actually dared to ban Koreans from participating in competitions. How could they be reasonable? Where was the law? Did they have any awareness of international conventions? This was a criminal act!
Especially when they found out that the Federation was controlled by Hua Xia, they were even more furious.
The great Republic of Korea would never give in to such despicable actions. They had to fight until the end.
Yes, these reports didn't even mention that the source of the problem was GJ's shameless infringement. Of course, even if the reports did mention it, the Koreans wouldn't care.
GJ was the one who infringed. What did it have to do with Korean players? If you have the ability, then find those players who hid their IDs. Otherwise, without evidence, you can't ban Korean players!
Therefore, all of the public opinion in Korea was madly supporting Monk Park and GJ Entertainment. This huge advantage in public opinion gave Monk Park a lot of support. At the same time, it was also a form of kidnapping. GJ Entertainment didn't dare to reconcile with the International Esports Federation.
This advantage in public opinion also gave Monk Park an inexplicable sense of confidence. Therefore, Monk Park and OGN announced that they were going to hold an international esports competition. This competition was named WAG, and all players from all over the world could come to Korea to compete for the world championship.
At the same time, GJ Entertainment also announced that they were going to establish a World Esports Federation. They immediately held a meeting to discuss the matter and compete with Boss Jia's International Esports Federation.
Seeing that the Koreans were going to hold an international competition, Boss Jia was shocked. At the same time, he was a little worried that he might have created a competitor in the esports industry!
If the Koreans really did expand their WCG like they did in history, then it would be really troublesome.
However, reality proved that this matter was very ridiculous. Although GJ Entertainment announced that they were going to establish a World Esports Federation, it was only because some famous international players invited them to the association's meeting.
However, the problem was that the Koreans only invited them. They didn't cover the plane tickets or accommodation. If they wanted to attend the meeting, they would have to pay for the plane tickets and accommodation themselves.
What a joke. If they had to cover the plane tickets and accommodation, then wouldn't the meeting cost millions of USD? That was too scary. There was no way GJ Entertainment was going to pay for this!
Therefore, some people who originally had a glimmer of hope for the World Esports Federation and thought that they could break Hua Xia's monopoly immediately gave up.
In this day and age, esports players were all poor. Not many people could afford to pay for a trip overseas. Not to mention, the International Esports Federation had sent a message to all their members. Whoever dared to go overseas would be permanently expelled.
Therefore, when the World Esports Federation was held, all the representatives were Koreans. However, this made the Koreans even happier. Because this way, all the members of the World Esports Federation would be Koreans. Koreans would be able to control the entire world of esports.
Sounds great, doesn't it?!
Therefore, a World Esports Federation with only Koreans was established just like that. Probably only Koreans could do something like this.
Of course, even an idiot could tell that the Koreans were only using this to disgust and bargain with Boss Jia.
In reality, the Koreans had privately told Boss Jia that as long as Boss Jia was willing to give up on the compensation, allow Korean players to participate in the WCG, and give Korea a few spots on the International Esports Federation's standing committee, they would cancel the World Esports Federation.
Unfortunately, Boss Jia turned a blind eye to the "goodwill" of the Koreans, which made them feel very regretful.
