This is really retarded. Why is Kespa in charge of sc2 tournament if they don't recognize it?

This looks to me like Kespa is making a power play to have SC2 teams recognize it as their governing body since the sc2con was disbanded.

They're not required to go to any lengths for SC2.

AFAIK They're not required to go to any lengths for FIFA either. Not only are they NOT choosing Korean representatives, they're NOT ALLOWING them.

Korean FIFA players are under the jurisdiction of Kespa. Korean SC2 players are not.

People over-reacting over a bunch of misinformation.

This reminds me of the time when my little brother yelled "IF I CANT HAVE IT, YOU CANT EITHER!" and spat on my food when I took the last slice of pizza. He learned not to do something like that again after a punch in the face. I hope someone teaches Kespa that.

...What?

Read the thread!

"Sc2con disbanded + KeSPA doesn't help SC2 =/= Powerplay"

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.

... really? They put a BW organisation in charge of SC2? Are they mad?

"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?

Honestly this just doesn't matter to me... Just another subpar tournament that will (or at least should) go unnoticed to most starcraft 2 fans. There are so many great tournaments out there which feature the best players in the world, who cares if this IeSF wants to play in the B-league of SC2?

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.

WTF lol. Held in Korea but no Koreans allowed, great for foreigners but sucks for us spectators. And KeSPA being KeSPA

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


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.

I dont know what they were hoping for

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.


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

There's a lot of blind hatred for KeSPA in this thread. It's not their fault they were put in charge of selecting from a pool of players they have no representation of or jurisdiction over.
