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 Thanks a lot for this! I really hope good comes out of this and nothing dramatically bad... Also the lack of SlayerS joining another group is somewhat concerning | ||

Their team recruitment is definitely different and they have certainly made strides with allowing a few of the EG boys to practice at their facilities. Sure they weren't apart of the first organization either, no? They might do things their own way, but they might be waiting on something more as well. That's the most likely scenario for holding out anyway. | ||

Besides player treatment, everything else they have done has been good. And player treatment isn't necessarily a Kespa thing, it's more that the competition in BW is so cutthroat. Of course I would like more than one organization because monopoly is never the best thing for fans. | ||

SlayerS is a ship captained by Boxer. Boxer was a BW Hero Kespa is BW Overlord Boxer obviously going to betray sc2 scene and hang out with Kespa! *takes off conspiracy theorist hat* Nice to see this happen and glad lots of teams are onboard, hopefully it prevents a complete collapse of current scene ^_^ | ||

I can't wait to see this unfolds between Kespa, e-Sports Federation, OGN, GOMTV, and of course, Blizzard. Hopefully it's good times ahead. | ||

I'm my view, there it isn't nearly as divided as is once was, from the "great escape" to NaNi's 7-probe-rush, we've already seen how interconnected these two seemingly separate scenes have become. Today, we have, as we should into the future, a growing sense of SC2 being a truly global community, with representative interests in various places, of various sizes, and with varying influence. It's becoming nearly impossible to distinguish where Korea ends and the foreign scene begins, with almost every foreign event presenting as much as 1/2 of code s players in attendance. The only real barriers we face is that of language, culture, and custom, and this new body of teams, representative of "the sc2 world" will help us be better equipped to meet the challenges we face together, as well as sieze the opportunities ahead, by making them more attainable for players and more sustainable for the teams that invest in and support their continued success.
