Wait, KeSPA doing things that fly in the face of common sense and treating people right? This is so shocking!

This makes my brain hurt. I can't see things not changing due to some public outrage though.

Ehhhhhh. IPL3 same weekend. I'd rather watch that anyways :p

Weird though, for the same reason as most people think it is. In Korea with no koreans lol.

lol I love KeSPA.

Please stay with brood war, KeSPA, and never trouble us again.

Realistically, IeSF sounds like they have a serious awareness gap between their admin and the actual game communities. From what iNC said earlier, this looks like it might have been a bw tournament until a little while ago, and then they went ahead and changed it to SC2 without thinking whether KeSPA was still the relevant organisation. GJ, guys.

I don't know why you guys got so riled up about ... it's a perfectly sensible decision from KeSPA ... you can't just expect them to make exception for occasions like this ...

if anything, try to convince them to recognize SC2 first ... if not, things like this are just obvious consequences

lol KeSPA works so hard to be hated by all the foreigners, and lets face it.. THEY DO A GOOD JOB!

First they created a system where there was almost no chance for foreigner participation even tho there is alot of guys that love BW and SC2 outside of korea and could bring alot more exposure and money to their scene.. but they say NO!


why should kespa care at ALL about foreigners? they are in the domestic market, and pleasing foreigners who won't buy shit for korean products do no good (except samsung, but they are already super popular worldwide)

Exception from what? Is it a common occurance that KeSPA refuses to invite players to IeSF events?

why dont the organizers just run a community vote for the koreans.
seems like a really hard process to put forth... ill simulate it for them
Poll: Which koreans should go

MVP (9)
 
47%

Nestea (3)
 
16%

Sage (3)
 
16%

Nada (2)
 
11%

boxer (2)
 
11%

MC (0)
 
0%

19 total votes

Your vote: Which koreans should go

(Vote): MVP
(Vote): Nestea
(Vote): MC
(Vote): Sage
(Vote): Nada
(Vote): boxer




-- Obviously more but, you get the idea.. perhaps im overlooking this because the other issue is they have no one to cast the SC2 side?

Why are they allowed to hold a sc2 tourney in Korea? I thought only gom was allowed to host tournatments in Korea.

GOMTV is a TV organization. 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.

Why would you defend KeSPA, all they've done is hurt BW.

I don't understand this. Even with whatever happened in the flow of logic over getting the representatives for Korea, couldn't IeSF compensate for this by hosting an open qualifier tournament similar to one of TL's Open Tournaments on a single day?
