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.

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.


That or it knows SC2 is just a small niche market in Korea and BW is doing just fine, cause it is.
Fabulous even.

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 is involved with more than just BW. I don't see why people are upset with them about this.

Ah I guess this serves Starcraft II it's due justice for being inferior to Brood War in terms I cannot fully express.

It's not their fault. They'd recognise it if Blizzard and GOMTV would actually let them have some control over the scene.

How stupid is it to hold an event in Korea for starcraft 2 and have 0 Koreans playing at the event? What a dumb event, people shouldn't go to this if that's the case and I surely won't be watching.

It's like a North American Championship, without any North American player. Would be similar if NASL forbids players like Incontrol or Machine to participate, and only DeMusliM and Puma were allowed.

i understand kespa. they have no broadcasting rights or any involvement in the scene, so why should they waste time and money for basicly no refund.

lol, I'm not saying SC2 is bad or BW deserves the spotlight, but you can't say that SC2 is anywhere near as popular in Korea.

What you think of it personally doesn't matter.

I didn't say they were well founded fears at all, I for one know Brood War is still going strong in Korea, much more so than SC2. However, with OGN branching out and broadcasting the WCG Korea stuff, you would think KeSPA would be just as accommodating if they wanted the scene to grow at all. What do they gain by preventing Korean players from competing in a tournament that is already going to host SC2 whether Koreans play or not?

This is sad news for the Korean players. To me, it's not about that KeSPA has never heard of it but what about the players? Normally in the end, the players have the right to join the tournament, and to represent there country. I say let the players play there dominate game.
