Seems like they are taking a dump on the korean sc2 players IMHO... My thoughts exactly. If they didn't recognize SC2 why include it in the event? >.< | ||

GOM has exclusive rights to SC2 in Korea. If KeSPA wants to host/broadcast/run this, they would have to go through GOM. | ||

I don't know all the details but if KeSPA HAD to be involved then why wouldn't they choose BW for their game instead of SC2? None of this makes much sense except that KeSPA is trying to hurt the SC2 community on purpose to promote BW, which would be the stupidest thing they could do. | ||

Clearly GSL is the tournament in korea so it would only make sense to choose a representative who has the highest points in GSL.

None of this makes much sense except that KeSPA is trying to hurt the SC2 community on purpose to promote BW, which would be the stupidest thing they could do. Cause there are 4 games, and almost every competitive game has registered pros under Kespa (including the 3 other games hosted in IeSF, except SC2) So its obvious why IeSF went to Kespa to pick its Rep for this event. | ||

If they were trying to hurt SC2 on purpose and promote BW why wouldn't they have chosen BW? IeSF is about global/international eSports, and IeSF/KeSPA know that BW is a dead game (player-wise) outside of Korea and globally SC2 is the game to play. As previously mentioned, IeSF was created/is partnered with KeSPA. | ||

I think Sjow/Happy are favored though. Even though the tournament is a joke, the prize pool is quite large, $15k for first place is huge for a tournament that will be well below the skill level of most MLGs. | ||

They can be looked at as a TV station. Any event that they have is an event that is broadcasted on their TV platform. KeSPA is an eSports organization. Unlike most countries which support several eSports organizations, Korea (before SC2) only supports KeSPA, and KeSPA supports the teams etc which all are property of KeSPA. Anything that is eSports is KeSPA. Tournaments such as IeSF look for organizations within the country they are hosting it in to perform host duties for them, since they are less of tournament administrators and more tournament organizers. If it were to be in USA, they'd find an organization to host it there, if it was Singapore they'd find an organization to host it there. KeSPA owns every single eSports title in Korea except for SC2, and is by far the greatest recognized eSports organization in Korea, thus IeSF turned to them to host the tourny for them. IeSF says "bw sucks, no bw, sc2 instead" KeSPA says "fine, but I ain't letting none of them Korean asshole traitors take any o' 'dis prize moneh~!" and bans Koreans from playing sc2. Reasons for KeSPA screwing over Korean SC2 players? Simple... Those Korean SC2 players left KeSPA to support the 1 main eSports title the KeSPA doesn't support. In a relatively small way, this is REVENGE RAWR OMG. Because KeSPA is run by a bunch of kids who have no idea how to do anything (nah they are pretty good at what they do, they are just fucking idiots with no morality). And thus, I hope they, in some way or another, lose everything that they own and be left with nothing. Because they are pieces of shit and should be treated like trash. ^______________^ | ||

So I guess that's how StarCraft 2 got selected over BW. Just a guess though. | ||
