So this is what I take from all this sc2con is basically trying to have a kespa like hold on the Korean scene. Many coaches are going along with it just to keep the peace. sc2con makes bad decisions and uses blackmail to get their way,

They cause unneeded drama and arguements over nothing.

sc2 teams can pull out at any time though if they did there is a chance that they will pressure gom into not allowing that teams players to play anymore (unliekly that it'll work).

while it is undeniable that kespa have made some very dubious decisions in the past, they uphold a clear, professional standard, something sc2con clearly isn't showing.

frankly i'd rather see kespa jump in asap than sc2con continuing, as there is already the neutral infrastructure in place.

i mean... i wasn't a round for it but how did they keep the teams from participating in gom tournament?

it may be that there were just contracts in place that they could enforce, in which case i agree that this is just another example of sc2 scene in korea not being formalized enough yet to be a true industry

If all the NASL communications have been going through SC2Con, how do we know that SC2Con didn't purposely mislead both sides to sabotage NASL? I think NASL needs to get in touch with the teams directly and confirm that SC2Con isn't changing the message.

One thing I'm really confused about is: Who is actually governing sc2con? Are coaches/managers of various teams in on it? Who is actually in charge? For a body like sc2con, it seems like there should be some transparency, no? First I was pretty neutral toward sc2con but with direct testimony from the FXO manager himself, it seems like it's being run by some asshole(s) on a power trip. Blackmail? Insults? Seriously? I am feeling pretty disappointed and disgusted right now.

I think the StarTale coach is the main guy there.

He stepped down. Sheesh, can't you keep up with the drama?

Apparently not lol! I have decided to stay out of all "drama" threads since the EG/Puma thing.

The control levels of kespa are similar/the same. Albeit KESPA is perhaps more professional....

The bottom line is, a dictatorship may have worked in the 'old days' but it won't work on a global scene.

And as for making the logo more "Korean flag like," it just doesn't make sense. GSL = Global Starcraft League, no? Why does FXO need to change their logo to fit what the Koreans want when this is a GLOBAL league?


Thank you for hitting the nail on the head with this one.

I don't even know who or what SC2Con is and from the sounds of it no one does.

I mean SlayerS isn't in it so I got to figure thats for a good reason.

Never though I'd say this, but maybe letting KeSPA replace S2con would be a good idea (and help heal the rift b/w BW and SC2 scenes).

I don't think SC2Con does anything except get in the way.

I'm pretty sure the players are getting hurt the most if SC2Con is blocking them from playing in more tournaments.

Because teams not in sc2con are also taking the same action.... And there is a reason those teams arent in sc2con..... Sc2con had a limited 'helping hand' with the NASL debacle..

When it was started, i was led to believe that S2Con was more of a players association, rather than a governing body. If it keeps going down this road, i hope it folds quickly and something much better arises. It's a hard thing to watch unfold, but whenever people try to govern themselves, there is a process of trial and error that must be gone through to reach a final result of something good.

On a side note, whers is spunky in all of this? I thought he was one of the main guys starting S2Con, and from the interviews, was very against it becoming like kespa.

Good decision Boss. Perhaps you should start a new organization to replace SC2con

SC2CON = Evil Empire, everyone make it a new trend .. Anyway SC2CON is not acceptable, the way they are running things will kill E-sports.




-Also FXO boss, you should consider recording those calls, because everyone could say "Yeah X called me threating me"

More and more reason to continue supporting fxo with their honesty. I hope that they weren't trying to sabotage the nasl thing either. It seems the teams really need to step it up and get rid of this

KeSPA claims to be a player's association as well, but it doesn't act in the interest of players.
