This is an interesting piece of news, I guess we'll be seeing some pretty big changes pretty soon.

except for one key thing -- that it's the coaches/players directly involved, rather than corporations like KeSPA


That is a gigantic difference though.
THIS was your PLAN?

Here's to no f'ed up rules and dictating what players can and can't do. Hopefully this actually has a chance at doing good, or even great, seeing how it's actually players and coaches etc who are in charge.

Funny thing though and probably just a product of the language barrier and nothing else, but some serious brainwashing wibes going off reading(for those of you who have seen Salt, Hitman etc) :D

In a meanwhile, in the StarCraft 2 gamer orientation, it will include the following topics and then some: Gamer's basic behavior education, interview method education from Fomos' reporter, Kim Kyung Hyun, and 2011 league operation plans from GomTV e-sports business unit, Chae Jeong Won.

Great news for Starcraft 2. This will most definitely lead to a Starcraft 2 ProLeague, which i'm happy about. I hope that too many Corporations don't get a hold of this, and it stays with the Coaches and Players.

I don't know about calling it "KeSPA 2". On the surface, this sounds very different.


Huh? It sounds identical -- except for one key thing -- that it's the coaches/players directly involved, rather than corporations like KeSPA. It's off too a good start but it's really KeSPA 2.0


eh having coaches rather than corporation changes the entire motive of the organization, no?

Kespa isn't a corporation.

Also, those teams would kill for a sponsor that will buy from them the whole team like a KT or SKT. And then you have the exact same thing were the teams don't send their head coach but their owner/sponsor.

This is good, but Blizzard won't allow it. And when SC2 esports get successful and get big sponsors, it will be an exact copy. Not to mention they may start to cooperate or fuse with Kespa one day because they are identical organizations but just for different games. It will give them synergy.


As for rules, I rather have a kespa that is forced to DQ some players to maintain the integrity of the game rather than MLG where you can basically get away with cheating.

I sincerely hope that its just the translation that makes it sound like something that you might have read as hitler came to power or a pamphlet explaining marxist goals.

Would have been cool to see TL associated, and possibly an expansion to add foreigners in order to grow progaming even more

Hope this turns out to be great, would be saddening seeing it hurt the players or the fans really. But sounds like it's good so far at least.

Waiting eagerly for more news !

I don't think some of the posters actually bothered to read the translated article. This KeSPA 2.0 talk is highly inaccurate. Consider the differences between the 2 entities before jumping to such conclusions.

Just having read through the translation, it sounds like an attempt to organize between the coaches and gamers to promote an overall agenda for their benefit. Doing this in a Blizzard approved way is the right choice, as I cannot see an SC2 organization like this working otherwise.

Yeah I was also hoping TL was going to be included ... maybe you guys need a Korean representative at the TL/oGs house to represent TL as the eight team? *hint hint* Kennigit you know you want me to go to Korea ^^

But this is how KeSPA, or KPGA started as well. But then the scene grew, and sponsors come to own the pro gaming teams themselves, naturally leading to sponsors representing on the KeSPA board.

Didn't Gretech or Blizzard (I don't remember which) say that they didn't want any of this team-oriented stuff ?
I'm confused ...
