So they are still not playing in gsl4? Thought that was ESF's condition.

Either way if it's resolved glad to see it!
When I think of something else, something will go here

Is this just an announcement from KeSPA? Or is it a deal struck between the two? Any contracts involved?

If this is for Season 5 then that's old news already. If it's for season 4 then edit your post.

Awesome. This seems like news because they mentioned an ongoing commitment, not just GSL 5 specifically. I don't mind no Kespa players in GSL 4 as long as they've made a long-term ongoing commitment for all GOM events afterwards.

There main goal was kespa competing in regular back to back GSLs as is the format with code a/s and all that jazz. They most have struck a compromise to let them avoid this one GSL.

Can someone translate the article ?:o it would be great. It's cool, but it looks that they're not playing in the 4th GSL season.

Well that's a great step in the right dirrection and personally I hope it's enough but it's hard to say right now if it will be without them playing GSL S4.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I imagine if KeSPA guarantees that they will participate in all future GSL's, with a contract, eSF will back down. However, I am not sure whether that's what occurs here.

That's great news, can't wait to see these guys duking it out.

GSL5 is going to be an amazing tournament to watch. I'd be more excited about this OSL except their matches are spread too far apart, I like seeing many matches all week long.

kespa says they will participate in all future gsls starting from season 5 so it is different. They have reached agreement with esports federation

No, they mostly were upset that Kespa was agreeing before to ONLY season 5. They could have then backed out of future gsl's with ease. ESF was not okay with that.

If this is indeed the case, please bring me Jaedong vs MKP, the battle of fangirls. We will see who is truly more popular.

Maybe they couldnt delay the application date for season four qualifiers(today is the last day) so they backed out this season.

Playing in GSL5 isn't thought to bring resolution. When you have a more reliable source I'm happy to reopen.
