KeSPA and MLG seem to have too much power on their hands and I just hope gom does't fall out of the map like happened with GOM Starleague. | ||

Believe it or not, a lot of teams and players actually appreciate the expenses being covered regardless of where you place rather than playing for a bigger number that they might not even see a share of. | ||

While oligopolies (spelling?) are sort of common in the business world, I have a hard time understanding how this could be good for making the game more popular as a spectator sport. | ||

This seems really bad for foreign tournaments wanting to invite koreans (dreamhack, homestorycup, ironsquid). Basically, MLG/Kespa will have a monopoly on top players. If we had this situation when SC2 started, a lot of the high quality foreign tournaments would never have developed. | ||

Top 32 all Koreans? Very possible in the future. And the thing about Kespa is, they never let their players play in another league.. it's always been this way. In fact, they will publicly humiliate you through media etc if you break their rules. Honestly speaking, I think it's better for fans and the players if everyone can decide where they want to play. Personally, I don't like these exclusivity they have over certain players. | ||

I mean, I get it from MLG/Kespa POV as they get the exclusivity on top players, but I don't see how this could benefit SC2 as a whole.

With the GSL and Proleague Season 2 and even MLG, i doubt many korean players will go to other foreign tournament apart from MLG. | ||

I was under the assumption that Kespa players will be allowed to play in GSL and then GOM players(MMA,DRG,MKP,MVP) are allowed to play in the Proleague Season 2 once the full transition happens at October. | ||

I think he's more worried if its close enough to the convention center for FBH to jump into it.  | ||
