what do the korean comments of the article say? i want to know what they think =/
So to summarize here were some popular trains of thought:
-The teams who decided not to participate are the ones that are kespa's puppets. i.e. the ones that decided to participate in a stupid Special Force (FPS game) league instead.
-Kespa sucks dick
-Gom Classic commentators all sucked, Korean and English, except Tasteless (I found this to be funny... the small-ish portion of English speakers in Korea actually enjoyed Tasteless' commentaries over the Korean ones. They hated SDM though)
-Korean esports is coming to an end
-When SC2 comes out Gom Classic will own Kespa and everything else with support from Blizzard
-Proleague is over-emphasized, they should have gone with the 3 days per week resolution that was proposed.
-Although its understandable, with its tiny fanbase and sucky commentaries, it still sucks that Gom Classic 4 had to be shut down.
-Gom Classic could have become a good individual league if Kespa hadn't interrupted and cut it off at its roots
Pretty much the same thoughts we have

I'm going to miss it. Really liked how easily accessible all the games were. Tasteless is a great commentator and I liked SDM too. Had some really good match ups, full of panda bear guy deaths.

gomtv seemed like a good stage for lesser progamers to prove themselves this is sad news

For those who say teams are kespa's puppet's - aren't they the ones who control kespa in the first place? It feels like kespa was someone to use to hide behind when they made their decisions.

A sad day indeed. The Gom Star Invitational was what got me first interested in professional starcraft, and I've seen hundreds of games since. Gom understood that there is a market for starcraft outside of Korea and they deserve huge props for creating such an approachable venue.

Oh man, if this is true, then the head of the GOM S4 guy flat out lied to me. I have MSN chat logs of him telling me that they are in negotiations and that they are planning for December. I guess Blizz and Kespa and GOM never came to an agreement.
he was prolly being honest =\

Man this sucks a lot. Was kinda looking forward to another season of it.
Hopefully they will be able to put more time into a foreigner tourney now.

You see, it's much easier to hate a faceless corporate entity than to confront the idea that the team you root for in full of dicks.

I'd like to hear Jaedong's comments about this. All his competition ran away from him in this tournament(SKT & KT backing out), scared of the practice time. what a pity.

I wish they'd scrap all these nonsense tournaments and run SC like boxing.

I was really looking forward to the next season, my big question now is where do i go to watch pro-gaming startcraft with english commetators?

They'res plenty online.

Does Kespa understand how this will affect the development of the professional scene outside of Korea? Without Gom it's much harder to find games that will be streamed legally and geared towards a foreign scene.

Some great youtube English casters are Diggity, Cholera, Husky & for a great mix of dual commentaries, check out Violetak.

Why should Kespa care about the foreign scene?

Do you guys think this will effect the future of esports in Korea?
