I think it defies expectations for KeSPA to run qualifiers and select players for a game it has no jurisdiction over. People should make sure their blaming the right people here instead of trying to confirm their biases.

I went ahead and googled this for you and I appears that KeSPA does recognize Alliance of Valiant Arms.

Personally, I think that IeSF should give the rights to pick a player to Gom as opposed to Kespa. As they are the current holders of the GSL, they should be able to make the best decision on who should be the representative.
If I understood it correctly, the rights to pick Korean players aren't IeSF's to give, they belong to KeSPA by default. Same goes for the rights to act like a four year old child aswell unfortunately.

-.- mm but personally i feel that IeSF isn't getting a lot of love internationally either... both Sheth and IdrA pulled out.... poor IeSF...

why only the bad guys(politicians or some power having parties or like kespa(no offence) can easily say something and make others look bad, rude, etc..but simple people cannot just say something in such way that all people would aknowledge how bad kespa and what kespa itself would aknowledge that everyone is dissapointed that they ignore starctaft2
maybe im exagerating but i think there is some truth in it?

How odd is this? This would be like holding Biking in France and not letting French people participate. This is like a national sport for korea. Honestly, how many foreigners will travel all the way to korea just to participate in a foreigner only tournament?

Because you choose to view it like that.

Aw that's sad. When is this event? Is IdrA not going to be in Korea before it happens?? Kind of a dick move to pull out if he's going to be in the country anyway.
Especially considering the exposure that IdrA could have brought to an event like this (both in Korea and outside of it).
Also, wtf is A.V.A.?

Wow, that is seriously retarded.

I get where Kespa is coming from, but it's silly and petty to take that stance and not even approach Gom or Blizzard to arrange the Korean qualifiers. SC2 isn't part of their reach? That's fine, but when you're holding an event which includes SC2, and given the responsibility to choose the players representing your country, at least try and sort some shit out. It's absolutely ridiculous that you're just going to completely ignore the existing scene because they're not 'official' to you. I don't even give a shit if they don't like Gom or Blizzard, but this is a big fuck you to SC2.
Imagine if Fifa and Uefa had a falling out and the former excluded all the European nations from participating in the World Cup because they don't 'recognise them'.

I don't know why Sheth withdrew but IdrA was invited to IPL3 which is the same weekend.

Because KeSPA chooses every other games reps. So its easy for IeSF to give it to KeSPA every year.
but back on topic. with people saying sc2 should be given to KeSPA. You guys don't know how frikin hard it is to get KeSPA players to play outside of KeSPA sactioned events. Which means no more Koreans at MLG or IEM, or anything like that. Look at what they did with gom back during the classic's.
Also there would be no more Korean weekly either.
I was trying to do a foreign vs Korean (bw) showmatch a few months ago for fun. I contacted KeSPA and I got a few responses. But eventually I never recieved responses back. I sent e-mail only for nothing to be sent back. Even with ICCup backing, I was never able to get anything done because KeSPA had basically shut me out of asking. I was told I could not contact teams personally, nor players.
I even went to CJ Entus marketing manager and asked him. He sent an E-mail off to KeSPA encouraging them to allow their players to do this. He was very in favour of this and trying to get KeSPA to expand their borders to promote bw to a foreign audience. KeSPA ignored him and me. Its been 5 months almost. Not a single KeSPA e-mail has entered my mailbox since.
So people saying having KeSPA work on the sc2 scene. it would be a huge boost to the Korean scene. But the Global scene would suffer. Foreigners would have a hella hard time going into Korea to play as well. and Koreans would be banned from joining foreign teams.

KeSPA IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE INVOLVED WITH STARCRAFT 2
Doesn't anyone read anything seriously.

What.
Grr Kespa did not select a SC2 rep for IeSF, they are fucking esports durrr. Fuck Kespa!!!
*Ignores the fact that they have no registered SC2 pro, they were specifically ostracized by Blizzard for being involved with SC2*

Are you serious? The only reason its brought "publicity" is because of all the stupid decisions they've made. Its common knowledge the KeSPA has been a huge detriment to almost everything in broodwar. If you think the only thing kespa would impose is "puny licensing fees" and "more control over gretech" you are sadly mistaken.

Then the same people come to this thread and moan about how Kespa is not getting involved in SC2.

That's stupid. The idea of 1 player per country will reduce the event interest, but it can be argued since it's supposed to be world championship. But if you follow this logic, there should be 1 Korean player.
Nothing about a french presence either...And who the f is Agh ? Never heard of him :x
