Well at least Kespa still gives me a good laugh every time I read about them. It's also their tournament so they can do whatever they want. Pure comedy gold though!

When did TL get so filled with anti-BW/Kespa propaganda?


kespa has never been liked on TL, ever.


Correct me if I'm wrong cause I haven't really been following the scene, but wasn't it the other way around? I think gom with blizzard wanted all the rights for sc2 when it first started and even wanted BW. Then there was the whole kespa vs gretech/gom and blizzard. That tension still exist today?

so maybe kespa holds the tournament but not allowing korean sc2 players enter cause they're under GOM?

only 1/2 the players on the list are even "knowns"


Only three players I don't know, if they are in this tournament they must be pretty decent.

it isn't actually that hard to understand, IeSF stands for International e-Sports Federation, of which Kespa is a member, so therefore, Kespa runs all the qualifiers in Korea. It isn't a matter of IeSF "choosing" Kespa or anything like that, as i would have to guess all the qualifiers in other countries were run by organizations that are members of IeSF in their own countries, though USA has no IeSF member according to their website so can't say for sure. Kespa is just choosing not to run an sc2 qualifier, for whatever reason

This is really silly. I found IeSF guilty in this case. As it was said above, you can't ask NFL to pick NHL players for the Olympics.

p.s. Actually who manages korean SC2 players ? And why KeSPA doesn't ? This is honest question.

Why would IeSF have KeSPA do the SC2 player selection? WTF? Massive organizational oversight? Oh right KeSPA has no jurisdiction over SC2 players oh fuck we're dumbasses?

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.

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.

Considering it's been like 3 pages and nobody has said otherwise.....I'm pretty curious.

Why on earth would you pick KESPA to pick the players? Why not GOM since they run the premier league in korea. Makes no sense

To be honest, I don't know who to be pissed at. The whole situation pretty much sucks. Personally, I think that IeSF should give the rights to pick a player to Gom as opposed to Kespa. As they are the current holders of the GSL, they should be able to make the best decision on who should be the representative.

Kespa not choosing to run a SC2 qualifier would be because they aren't in charge or part of SC2.

Edit:

To add, Kespa is in charge of Pro-gamers for all the other games listed in IeSF - except SC2, so they held no qualifiers or a Rep, because why/how the fuck would they?

Kespa probably has jurisdiction, there's a list of licensed A.V.A. players on the Kespa website.
