It's almost kespa vs kespa In fact, only 9 notable dropeoff ESF players: Ganzi, Hope, Shine, Sniper, Terror, Brown, JKS, AnNyeong, Eve, Among which, only Ganzi, Hope Shine Sniper Brown really had a shot even before Kespa turnover. | ||

There aren't THAT many ESF players outside of Korea. Only ones that come to mind are the Axiom guys, Violet and Mvp. I guess there's also a few totally washed up players like Nestea and MC but they are mostly inferior to everyone who qualified today. | ||

So basically there are far more active KESPA players than ESF. | ||

Also of the groups where a GSTL player qualified The 3 top SPL players knocked out: 1) Free 2) Cure 3) Bear Very underwhelming list. There is nothing underwhelming about Bear.  jjakji fighting! | ||

GSL and GSTL was the only tournament and event that I followed religiously. I kept up with all the teams, knew who to look out for in the qualifiers from watching GSTL and was emotionally invested in everything from Code S down to Code B. Now it's muddled with guys like Mamuri and Pigbaby, guys I have never heard about and will never care about. It has nothing to do with Kespa vs. ESF for me, cause like I said I enjoy watching their star players and Rain's games from last fall motivated me to start playing again. Code S groups like Maru, soO, sOs and Effort mean nothing to me and I have no reason to stay up late to watch it, or pay a subscription fee to watch a vod. | ||

It'll give you a better feel of who's who in the pool of Kespa players. Just like GSL and GSL, there are players who are low profile but clearly improving at a pace that warrants attention, for example STX.Classic who has just been on a tear ever since he found his true calling as a Protoss rather than a Terran. There are story lines in SPL as much as any other tournament and I wouldn't want to miss it! | ||

It will be glorious to have all your favorite Korean players playing in the same team league with regular matches scheduled for all teams. | ||
