Pepe's recruitment has been done a few weeks ago. While we were dealing with the player, he showed a very good knowledge of the Starcraft : Broodwar scene, including confidential information about some of the players and the KeSPA itself, intel that was confirmed by several different Korean sources.


That's weird


yeah this is kinda shady...

not trusting esahara for now

well, they will learn of this. it makes them look unprofessional and dumb, but there aren't many esport teams out in the world which are really professional (I dont count korea in this statement).

OK it's clear now. Flash tried to switch undetected by KeSPA with a fake name.

The entire story is kinda funny but it's bad for eSahara's reputation... Now people will remember them as the team of "The blonde chick" and "fake pepe" (at least until Maka win GSL) I wish them the best

Lol this is funny. They should have video chatted or asked him to show ID via scanned document. Does this mean anyone can fake to be a player with relatively low profile and get into eSahara? The recruitment system is fatally flawed wow!

They need to learn from the mistake, and other teams should take note if this. They should have contacted WeMadeFox to confirm this signing long ago as well.

LOL. Why would someone try to impersonate a player who was still around?

By far one of the weirdest situation Ive read about the SC2 scene. I mean.. what was that fake Pepe guy thinking? How was he planning on showing up to events, meeting the team etc?

I'm not sure if this is a good choice. eSahara has some members that are very BM. For example, when MarineKing went up against Verdi on ladder, Verdi rage quit saying "fu noob." I have no respect for the team.

So was this fake pepe good and worthy of being on the team, but just faked his id?

Are you kidding!? Even if he was a grandmaster with 100% winrate there’s no way they would let him in after obtaining his spot by lying and in doing so seriously embarrassing the team. If you wanted to take it one step further he has technically committed fraud and I'm pretty sure he's liable to have legal action taken against him (though I’m sure eSahara just want to forget about this and move on as quickly as possible).

I find it hilarious how this only came out due to the that chance that a WemadeFox employee happened to stumble on the thread and essentially say, “lol, wut?”

Could you imagine the shit storm that would’ve happened if this hadn't been uncovered earlier and they’d asked him to play at an event and he just gave them a “lol, j/k, I’m not who I said I was” or even worse if he actually turned up to the event and still claimed to be Pepe XD

Idk why if he was good enough, he could'e just joined a team outright but maybe the bw experience factors in a large proportion of whether a team takes him or not.

Interesting to have this come out. As we see smaller/lesser-known teams try and build up a korean roster (think esahara, legion,etc.) there are obviously a bunch of problems like this that appear. Now I (and several others I'm sure) are wondering about how teams actually go about verifying the identity of a player. Especially with koreans, very few (if any) stream with a webcam or make vlogs or anything like that so its hard to verify this sort of thing. Anyway, good thing this came out and I wish all the best to eSahara.
