[GOM] We Don't Need No Stinkin' KeSPA!

Last week I wrote: "Boasting KeSPA's support and a large prize pool, it's difficult to comprehend why some teams [...] are refusing to participate," but it's come to my attention that the GOM Classic does not currently have-- and may never have had-- KeSPA sanctioning. I apologize for this error in reporting. This thread has Teamliquid's stance on GOM with regards to TLPD ELO.

With that humbling retraction out of the way, let's take a look at the results of last weekend as well as this weekend's upcoming games.

Things are apt to start warming up this week as we move into round two. With the weakest participants now eliminated, this round is about deciding who gets to play the seeds. For the no-names, it's incredibly important that they get that chance, as a good performance against a seed could push them into the limelight. For the well known non-seeds, like sKyHigh, it may just be another step toward a chance at an individual league finals, but it's an essential step that could trip them up if they're not paying attention. Expect a few upsets this round.

Seeding is done based off of a players KeSPA rank, not how they placed in last season

That's because she got it from TL.

GOM never was sanctioned by KeSPA, it was simply "recognized". Susie was fed misinformation.

Has there been an official statement as to why KeSPA "recognizes" GOM as a tournament, but wont sanction it?

*EDITED*

I was surprised since I thought all of the major leagues are sanctioned or whatever it's called. But after reading about some teams not participating the picture got clearer and cloudier at the same time.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing SoulKey in action. The woongjin coach thinks very highly of him.
