That would be like holding the world hockey championship in Toronto and not having Canada participate.

It's so stupid to not allow Korean to play in this.

Don't blame Kespa they have no interest in SC2 you can't blame a group for not doing what they were made for. You guys are just mindlessly hating on Kespa which there are valid reasons for but thats SC1.
Why don't you guys blame IesF, they could have just chosen korean players themselves. Ever considered that?

A global KeSPA would NOT be useful... A Global eSports organization, could be useful. KeSPA is a fail organization that is consumed with greed and ugly people. An organization that runs basically the way KeSPA is supposed to run (to work for, and benefit eSports in Korea; in this case the world) would be pretty sweet. You'd be able to count on them to assist everyone with legal documentation in regards to visas and w/e more. They'd be able to help judicially in terms of organizations holding out on paying players prize money; they'd be able to help out with organizing massive tournaments with huge prize pools and tons of sponsors from everywhere; they'd be able to provide massive amounts of assistance.

The 'Global KeSPA' (global esports organization) idea is a cool one, as long as it's nothing like KeSPA. The problem is that it would be way too hard to actually make one.

seems like a mistake on iesf , they know kespa players are not playing sc2...why would they still have them in charge of selecting korean players?

KeSPA was in charge back when they were still going to do bw. and KeSPA is in charge of choosing all the Korean players for all the games IeSF has. Since KeSPA does not have any interest in sc2. they won't choose a plyer, since nobody plays sc2 in Korea anyways.

This is good news. and I fully support this move by KeSPA. Maybe next year IeSF will go back to bw to get the fan support.

it's kind of silly but in the end kespa probably just doesn't have the resources to pour into sc2 and get preliminaries rolling, especially since it's a game they're not in charge of.

yes it's silly but i bet it more has to do with the fact that they have enough trouble covering their bases on the events they officially recognize (esp when one of them needs a lot of attention atm ^^;; to have the resources to pour into sc2

the article is pretty sensationalist though since kespa will probably be covering sc2 in the future and they actually had long talks with blizzard about it. but i guess people are so quick to blame shit and sensationalize anything regarding kespa and assume things just because of things they've overheard and gotten sensationalized based on netizen reactions and assume their outdated information still hold

Also kind of funny people ask "Why is kespa in charge of iesf"... iesf is something kespa made to begin with

I don't get what's up with all the kespa hate. I agree kespa makes questionable decisions often, but this time I feel like they made the correct decision. IeSF should not have asked kespa to pick Korean reps because kespa is not the group that manages Korean sc2 progamers. That's like asking a softball organization to pick baseball players. I don't wanna get into talking about whether kespa is necessary in sc2 or not but this is not something to blame kespa for.

why are they even using kespa? theres no bw in the tourney, so they shouldve gone to gretech for SC2. kespas shown all along theyve got the maturity level of a 4 year old.

Kespa had an opportunity to show themselves as being relatively magnanimous and asking GOM to take care of it though. I don't think Kespa should do the picking themselves, but rather should've let GOM take care of it.

Does this include Korean players on foreign teams, like PuMa and HerO? What about coL.MVP and their partnership? Could Korean teams put forth foreign players, like IMFenix, or possibly TSL.MajOr? (I know he's not officially on TSL however).

This is completely ridiculous, both on the front that IeSF went to KeSPA regarding SC2, and on the front that KeSPA returned with this statement.

Well, KeSPA doesn't recognizes SC2 because they do not want to deal with Blizzard on it. It makes sense for their decision.

more like trying to block Sc2 so that BW can still hold longer as much as they can.
KESPA doesn't have rights in SC2 and won't have any control.

Did not know this. But this makes it even sillier - now it almost sounds like a miscommunication somewhere between KeSPA and IeSF.
