Korean FIFA players are under the jurisdiction of Kespa. Korean SC2 players are not. People over-reacting over a bunch of misinformation. | ||

This isn't possible for christs sake. KeSPA cannot be involved with SC2. Can it be said any clearer. Blizzard decided the shots here, unlike the other eSports involved. It doesn't matter if the teams all want it, KeSPA wants it or anyone wants it because they can't. Seriously why people don't point the figure at Blizzard i don't know. KeSPA is just an easy thing for people to hate i guess. Blizz hyped up a game as a new eSports, sequel to the biggest eSport ever, in the biggest eSport nation in the world, and deciding to fucking try and cut out the government-supported governing body of eSports. An organization which has bought nothing but MASSIVE free publicity to Blizzard. It's a mind boggling stupid strategy for the sake of what exactly? More control over Gretech and some puny licensing fee's? Why would partial or full developer control over eSports even be a good thing in the first place. It worked very very well before without them getting involved. | ||

"Yo, is that the Football Association?" "Yes." "You're in charge of football/soccer in the UK, right?" "That is correct" "Sweet can you pick us a rugby team for this massive tournament that's being held?" It should either be based on GSL points or on fan votes, surely? | ||

It should either be based on GSL points or on fan votes, surely? KeSPA isn't BW only. If anything, it was poor decision by IeSF to let KeSPA handle ALL Korean representatives when they have nothing to do with SC2. You can't fault KeSPA for their actions. It's a slap in the face, asking them to choose a representative for a game that competes with one they're in charge of. | ||

If stuff like this is the cost for keeping Kespa out of SC2 then it's a cheap price.

And yet you complain about SC2 posters mocking in BW threads, class act. | ||

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. ....They shouldn't have asked, but KESPA shouldn't have fucking accepted if they're not going to do anything... | ||
