I want them to reverse the ceremony rule. I think that'd be cool.

You mean like they require an over the top obnoxious ceremony?

There should definitely be some sort of starleague with ceremonies, bm, and chatting all encouraged.

That's why I love watching all the All-Stars matches

So I guess we can thank Boxer for ruining it for the rest of the progamers, haha (thanks for helping us find it GTR).

1) I think this is just a temporary band-aid just hiding the real problem
2) KeSPA is struggling to find a way to balance being professional and keeping it entertaining. It's hard because if you completely allow ceremonies you're basically promoting showboating - not necessarily something you want your players known as. If you allow games with text you're adding humor but you're also promoting a possible lack of sportsman ship.

In regards to the official kespa rules, why was bisu and SKT allowed to do that ceremony with the dancing and stuff? I thought that was banned now?

Only OFFENSIVE ceremonies (in the eyes of KeSPA) are banned. Such as crotch-thrusting.

About time they made this change - of course they still need to address deeper underlying issues, but at least tihs moves in the right path.

Shame Sparkyz had to be on the receiving end of this rule, but good to see that they changed it so fast.

At least we see them doing something. Even if it doesn't help. We still know they exist.

Who cares about a "possible" lack of sportsmanship or showboating. Let the fans judge. If they dont like bad sportsmanship or showboating they will let their voice be heard and the players themselves will respond without the need of kespa. No players or teams want to be hated...the world has its own control systems, no need to make artificial ones. Personally I think a little Bm or showboating would do e sports some good. Every sport needs a villain.

Good news, although it's still late. This is the problem with all rules or laws: the fact that people feel a need to follow the letter, rather than the spirit of the law.

I feel that's a very American thing to say. KeSPA wants to keep a professional image and in Korea it's probably less acceptable to showboat than it is in America (you saw how awkward Midas was when he preformed his ceremonies). Of course no player or team wants to be hated but it just takes one or two bad decisions to reflect poorly on KeSPA. It would take a gigantic leap of faith for KeSPA to say that we will let our players speak for us about professionalism and not try to regulate what players do.

I think there are other rules not mentioned in this article that forbids that. I think it was made after that game involving Boxer on Forte about how he said his base was small, and his opponent starting checking madly for a proxy.


Hahahahaha. God I love Boxer.


Agreed. If anything, it's more SC mindgames.
