Only til 2013 of October. They will still be separate leagues and therefore different communities.

Soulkey combo-breaking the winning streak of the KeSPA players. By.Sun showing some results against Leenock.
I guess it's safe to say that it isn't safe to always Liquibet against KeSPA players anymore.

What the hell is going on? Methinks the Kespa pros just didn't want to face protoss :O

FTFY
GOM players suffered enough disrespect I think. (I don't care about Kespa vs GOM, just give credit where it's deserved).

Protoss is the last stronghold for GOM!!

Zerg failing spectacularly!
Anyway, lot of people have said since we saw the winner's bracket that they'd put a good bet that a Gom Protoss wins WCS Korea. Hoping for Seed personally.

At this point I also think that a GOMtoss will win this. Personally I hope that's it's either LiquidHerO or Squirtle. But of course anything can happen

Xiphos is right that rivalry between KeSPA / GOM will be more beneficial for the SC2 industry. Compared to a player vs player rivalry, community vs community rivalry will bring in more viewers. Simple economies of scale. I bet they'd even extend the exclusivity contract.

lol how does that have anything to do with "economies of scale"? Do you even know what that means?

Holy crap, so I wake up to check the results and find that Effort beat fucking Gumiho, AND Jaedong beat Genius?
o_O
LOVE IT.
yes, fearow beat tails, I know...

Hero keeping up the good work in the face of GOM players going full foreigner. He has stopped a complete elephant stampede
|
looks like TaeJa is about to get some competition in the BW players
|
Wait didn't we just talk about how every kespa player gets stomped 2-0 and now a few of them win a couple of matches and suddenly they're dominating? O_o

loooool soulkey has the worst possible luck XD

Too bad about Soulkey...but his ZvP record is pretty poor, so I supposed it's to be expected. But then again, who could have predicted this 11-0 run?
Congrats Liquid Hero, first man to knock out a KeSPA player.

It's a shame to see another GSL player get painfully knocked out by another KeSPA pro. It really surprises me a lot to see them raining so hard on the Code S parade; I know that they have some ingenious decision-making skills, but I swear that some of these Brood War pros must be using micro hacks or something in order to defeat all these saviors of the existing SC2 scene so soundly.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad: this doesn't seem like reality, to be honest. I'm glad that the other GSL player made it through, though. If you want to stay alive and become the sole keeper of the WCS 2012 Korea title, you have to make a heroic effort.
I suppose that if you want to be a Starcraft 2 hero, joining a BW team does look like the best choice. If the GSL players want to keep competing, they can't flounder, make suicidal decisions and toss away their opportunities to win, or run with their tails between their legs. L.B.J. donged people hard, often, and without hesitation, and they need to do the same.
(I'm so sorry)

a rivalry requires both sides to be competitive. so i hope federation players step it up a little bit.

Gom pros are suffering from nerve issues due to the huge pressure of beating the BW pros. They have little to no info to study on players and have to sometimes(Not always) face strategies that they are just not used to. Kespa pros are getting good fast but they are not yet up to the level of the Gom pros so there isnt so much a need for the doom and gloom in your post. This reminds me of even low tier Koreans playing top foreigners who SHOULD beat them. They put the Korean on the pedestal and suffer for it.
