Why is that lucky? If they were involved then there would be Korean players in, or do you not want that? People jumping to blame KeSPA: it's BLIZZARD that shut KeSPA out of SC2. Their decision. You don't try and shut them out and then expect them to do things like this. There's no SC2 gamers with programing licenses and official with KeSPA so how can they pick anyone? What are they supposed to base their picks on when they are not allowed to be involved with the game? | ||

KeSPA - Korean eSports Association. SC2 isn't supported by them so i dont know why people are trippin. | ||

That is of course an absurd and outrageous idea since it would imply some will to cooperate. | ||

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! Foreigners couldn't partake because they were INFERIOR AT THE GAME. There was nothing stopping anyone from getting involved except simply no one was dedicated as the Koreans. But yeah, clearly it's KeSPA holding back whitey. Foreigner scene was like amateur wheelchair basketball vs an NBA team.

How would they react? Well i dunno but they seemed pretty fucking fine about it when they were guests at an early OSL. Funny how they suddenly changed their minds right about SC2 time isn't it. I'm pretty sure they were happy about the 4.5 million copies of SC sold in SK as a result of the eSports hype too. But yes, blame KeSPA the non-profit organization. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe GOM was in charge of Alliance of Valiant Arms, but that didn't stop the choice of a Korean A.V.A. representative. | ||
