I'm glad for fOu. They've been through rough times, but they sound like they'll be much better off now, with FXO and without sc2con. Special praise to Boss.

Anyone know if the Korean teams have signed their players to contracts? Or are they still going off of goodwill?

Can anyone explain to me what exactly Kespa did? I didn't follow Broodwar, so I have no idea what happened. I heard that they forced players to practice days and night and stuff like that. What happens if they don't follow and practice 12hr/day but still do good? Do they still get kicked out? Do they take away players earnings? How come people are so scared about them.

I thought every sport organization has some kind of control over players and can fine them if they want. For example, the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL all fine their players certain amount of money if they say something that doesn't help the organization's image. I've seen this multiple times. My guess is that Kespa does the same thing. To what extend to they control the players? Kespa doesn't just control SC players right? They're an organization that control the general esport in Korea, including other games?

Also, is there a reason why Kespa act that way? I guess they don't just like: "we don't care about the freaking players; we just gonna do whatever we want because we wanted to without any reason".

After the Puma poaching they probably all signed contrasts. Terrible timing, because I bet some of those players must be thinking they'd rather be with a foreign team now that their teams are stopping them from playing in NASL.

Can we wait for both sides of this story, please, before passing judgment?

Also, I hope this doesn't lead to FXO players being banned from GSL/GSTL. That would be the worst case scenario I can see as a possible outcome.

Love the transparency, BoSs.

This. One of the major reasons I have become a big fan of FXO is their high level of transparency as a team in an era where almost everyone else is not simply because they know they can largely get away with it.

You have my full support, FXOBoSs.

Do they actually have the power to ban people from the GSL/GSTL?

I don't know the whole story but KeSPA didn't seem THAT bad to me. They just disqualified players for typing anything other than "gg" and "pp" and once a guy typed "ppp" because his monitor died, and he got disqualified and the forums went wild.

I think they changed the rule after that, but at the time they were just enforcing their own written rules.

They also told the Broodwar teams to stop participating in GSL (Broodwar) as well because they didn't want competition for the TV channels.

Boss made an excellent and courageous decision to fight back. I hope more team follow your example.

While his decision is not related to what happened with the NASL, I believe that this gives us even further insight into the kind of people managing sc2con and helps explain how the NASL debacle turned out to be so unprofessional and destructive.

sc2con cannot do that, only gomtv who host the gsl/gstl can have the power to do so
