It would be improper for an organisation such as Kespa to then say "join us or die". It also promotes the ability to run 2 leagues in Korea so that the players have more incentive to train hard. If there is no resistance or discussion between the two sides, there will be heavy schedule overlaps between proleague and GSL. It would also mean you would have to pick which side you wanted to be part of. It 'potentially' would mean an end to foreigners in korea as well. Which none of us want of course. I hope this helps. Regards FXOBoSs Thank you for the insight, but what if kespa doesn't want any part of the current sc2 scene? What leverage does this association have? It seems that either kespa disagrees and will just continue running their own show in korea with their own teams, or they want to be part of the current sc2 scene in which case there is no conflict. | ||

Regards FXOBoSs I hope the teams can accomplish that goal. I really want to see current SC2+ kespa SC2 live in peace... | ||

I would think Kespa wouldn't carry enough leverage to monopolize anything. Not only would they have to go against GOM, but it would be fair to say that most foriegn leagues would also side with GOM. The scene is too complicated for BW esque model. | ||

Not that I'm surprsied, but no slayers in the federation. Does this mean slayers will have to be extra careful in keeping their players? | ||

It depends on how Blizzard negotiate with Kespa. I doubt Blizzard and GomTV let Kespa broadcast leagues with terms that are unfavorable to them. Moreover, since this is esports Federation, I think it's gonna cover LoL in the future too, given some SC2 teams are expanding to LoL. | ||

BoSs, that is somewhat of a limited view of KeSPA's structure. I'm sure you didn't get everything you wanted across. | ||

Regards FXOBoSs When I read FXO was a part of this, it gave me hope that it wasn't just SC2con again. Your post helps solidify that as well. Thank you FXOBoSs | ||

When has slayers ever been involved with other teams? If you look throughout history, they have always done their own thing. | ||
