I'm sure there are plenty of competent organizations to which they could outsource the running of the qualifiers. That they chose to go this route instead just reinforces my opinion that KESPA doesn't actually give a crap about esports beyond how they can make money from it.

Sucks for players and fans, good for no one.

Why would you put kespa in charge of picking players in the first place if sc2 is one of your main games for the tournament. Clearly they are just being sour grapes trying to screw over their perceived competition any chance they get.

sigh kespa lol

anyway why does kespa have power over this? SC2 players aren't signed under kespa or anything?

Anyways, dick move kespa... sounds quite selfish

I guess Slasher is going to have to cut his hair. What is it about IeSF that they don't go directly to GOM for this?

LOL, a tournament where the crowd of spectators are better than the people in it...

For me it feels like KESPA is trying to keep SC2 out of Korea with this, because in a sense there could be a slight interest for the tournament from BW-Fans if, say, BoxeR got to play.

But without a Korean to cheer for the Korean crowd won't be as interested in the tournament as they could be.

And here you have it, my very own conspiracy theory.

part of it is bad scheduling, many "known" players are heading to IPL 3 in atlantic city rather than be interested in a less prestigious and smaller prize pool tourney

IeSF - 12.5k, 7.5k, 5k payouts for 1-3rd
IPL - 30k, 12k, 8k, 6k payouts for 1-4th, not to mention top 32 get 1k guaranteed.

KeSPA is kind of unreasonable... He know the future belongs to SC2, but he just dont want his player to have future

It's like he told his slaves that we will eventually become republic one day, but not on you!

What is it with these "international championship" tournaments. They're all run in the worst manner possible.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

Wow, I really don't get the anger coming from this article. From the point of view of the people running the tournament, of course I'd be angry. But from KeSPA's point of view: why spend money on supporting SC2 for the sake of a small tournament that isn't going to attract many viewers anyway?

Go ahead and disagree with KeSPA. That's fine. But the anger coming through in this article is unnecessary and counterproductive.

Kespa is ridiculous lmao. Remove these ridiculous power hungry organizations. Broodwar is the only thing keeping that power hungry organization afloat.

How much extra money does it take to support the game by offering invites to players locally? Nothing. It's KeSPA blocking SC2 in Korea because it fears Brood War is starting to fade. SC2 is going to be in the tournament regardless, KeSPA is just blocking Korean players from playing in the tournament. It's completely silly, that's where the anger is coming from.
