Is anyone able to explain why IeSF can't just find someone else to recommend a representative, or choose one themselves?

Why would they give control over to KeSPA?
Does that even make sense? They have absolutely nothing to do with SC2.
if (post == "stupid") { document.getElementById('post').style.display = 'none'; }

Yeah, it's strange that IeSF is trying to rely on KeSPA here. It makes some sense that KeSPA refuses to pick a representative since they have nothing to do with SC2 right now.

I guess it shows people who were saying " we need kespa for sc2" in the sc2con thread that kespa is a terrible organisation, they have done some good stuff for bw, but also a LOT of stupid ones, like this one.

Idra has been slumping, but the only person there he has to play well against is Sjow, just saying.

it would be stupid if KeSPA tries to pick a sc2 representative for Korea. They have absolutely nothing to do with it in Korea right now. The IeSF organizer is the one to blame here

We do need KeSPA's professionalism for Sc2 though

they emailed me an invite a few months back and basically I asked "is this for SC2?" and they went "nope" then I thanked em but declined. It would seem upon more thought they have gone with SC2

yeah aside from goody, happy, osho and softball. all of these can beat idra and don't need that much luck for it imo.

on topic: like said, why on earth kespa? pretty obvious they don't send anyone.

edit: LOL true IdrA isn't even on the list :S

Why are so many people shocked that they don't want to promote a competitors product essentially? Once BW is less profitable, they'll make the switch to support SC2. Logic only follows money, not sentiment.

I don't really see how that's logical. You don't actively do things to make the market you might one day try get into not want you in there. It just makes no sense. This isn't really promoting SC2 in korea. There's still an SC2 even in Korea, it just makes Korea look laughable that they can't get their own players to an event in their own country.

It makes no business sense.

Kind of silly they put KeSPA in the position to choose, but even more so that they're refusing. I hope the Korean fans throw a shitfit. Sigh.

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!

This is IeSF... the lineup isn't supposed to be super top notch. Idk if you guys have never seen an IeSF before, or what you're thinking, but IeSF is all about inviting as many nations as possible to bring 1 2 or 3 competitors to compete in an awesome battle of the nations tournament.
Similar to WCG, but obviously different. It's called the International eSports Federation because they aim at international competition, not the utmost and highest level of competition.
Should be a great IeSF, and I hope KeSPA dies in a burning flame. And that all people making real decisions in KeSPA somehow go bankrupt and live miserable lives.

yay, KeSPA getting it's hands dirty in SC2 so soon already. awesome. I hope all the KeSPA fanboys in the sc2con disbands thread reads this thread and takes a serious thought about their "magical organization that made esports happen!"

Talk about acting childish to prove a point.

I get to finally use the "This is ruining e-sports" meme! Hurrah!

But on a more serious note, I think this is really odd, not to mention the fact that everyone wants to see Koreans. Why get pumped for a tournament unless the best of the best are going to be playing?

KeSPA isn't really making many friends...
