Of course they can still go back to school, but I am not an expert on Korean culture and society. Its not like they hide the conditions of the B team members. The players know what they're getting in to when they join. Its like the people who want to be movie stars. They know that they'll most likely end up working at starbucks or wal-mart for the rest of their lives but they still try to be movie stars. | ||

It's amusing how SC2 is the perfect opportunity for esports to become mainstream everywhere in the world and there's two companies that could potentially benefit hugely from this, yet they're both doing stupid shit and making it harder and harder for SC2 to succeed. | ||

I mean, it's kinda like the NBA's player's union telling Charles Barkley that he can't play a televised round of charity golf, isn't it? just dumb that they have that sorta control over the korean BW players & teams. | ||

Blizzard is lucky. The LAN issue got pushed back because KeSPA did something even more stupid. | ||

Unlike the NBA, or even any other major sport league, the players don't have a players association to fall back on. Such a shame, really. | ||

If they were to quit their teams, it'd be highly unlikely that they would get to play in another major, since so many of the top dogs are a part of KeSPA. | ||

The NBA can't because barkley doesn't work for the NBA anymore, but ESPN can if its in the contract. | ||

Probably that this seems like the kind of topic that would start a flame-war. People get pretty vitriolic when it comes to KeSPA / Blizzard / ESPORTS | ||
