*spoiler alert*

i would like to request that we call kespa dogspa or at least gespa in reference to how the koreans call it 개스파 instead of 케스파, where 개 means "dog" in korean and 케 is the sound "ke".

after the last couple incidents involving kespa DQing people for stupid reasons, kespa's message board has been flooded with a lot of hate from the netizens.

here are the (loosely translated) names of some of the various threads. note that these are only some of the hundreds if not thousands of complaints.

"thanks kespa. because of you i am quitting starcraft"
"why is the kespa organization so stupid"
"what do the old guys at the top do? they have no relation with the game"
"CONGRATS: KESPA 2, PLAYERS 0"
"why do refs exist?"
"why does kespa exist?"
"what exactly do you guys do other than make money?"
"are you retards trying to get the refs killed?"
"i thought the point of kespa was to further the development of esports?"
"kespa is cancerous to esports"
"why is the punishment to all your rules a full DQ?"
"is your brain able to comprehend the word "concept"?"
"개스파"
"whats wrong with a regame?"
"you still don't offer an official apology?"
"you guys are an embarrassment"

WOW ive not been keeping up with progaming recently so this is just absolutely insane to me. For typing a single character you get DQ'ed?

The players need to unite and get this rule changed. A simple strike would have the rule changed in a day if enough of the well known players got involved.

Calling them "Dogspa" is too good, because even a pack of dogs could manage this organization better than that.

Nope. You've got it wrong.

The anti-KeSPA bit isn't some dumb thing like being a fanboy of some player or other. They're taking the hard work and countless hours of practice and thinking that both players go through, and spitting on it, because they can't understand that there's such a thing as the spirit of the law.

Don't say you want it to happen more.

Someone post a walkthrough on how to sign up for the KESPA boards, then make a copy-pastable message in Korean about how the international community thinks they're a fucking disgrace to eSports.

Ok go.

wouldn't help too much I think, from what i have read the korean fans are already pressuring them and opening hundreds of topics on their forums, but kespa just keeps ignoring it and not responding.

Both players in the finals should protest by typing shit during each match. Of course getting somebody to possibly forfeit 40k might be a bit of a stretch. But I am sure it would lead to some reform.

I absolutely do not understand why talking between players is prohibited. They did it few times in some "fun" games (e.g. boxer vs nada) and it only made the games better..
