Koreansd will have less time to play in foreign events, which will take a lot of the starpower away from foreign tournaments, which won't help viewers. If Kespa gets their way its over. I just hope blizz and gom know what they are doing and don't let that happen. | ||

The popularity with SC2 seems to be with the foreign seen, but it seems like KESPA's involvement will kill that. | ||

The same can be said for GOM. Games are played in a TV studio in Korea. Except you don't see GOM restricting players to certain teams. There don't seem to be any restrictions at all when it comes to that. Even the teams leagues have seen many foreign participants. | ||

I guess this will be a popularity boost in Korea, though. If there's enough support, chances are, we'll receive more balanced patches/expansions in the future. | ||

Not sure if you read the article but... “We wish to have everyone to gather, in order to make pledges to advance the culture of globally expanded eSports, which started in Korea with Starcraft.” Sounds to me like they dont want to kill the global/foreign scene and keep esports only in korea. Also is this why MLG guys are in korea right now??? They are probably going to be at conference?? | ||

Thats not what I meant. The biggest problem was with the entire license deal Kespa had going. This prevented a lot of talented players from playing in events. Because they had to go through a Code B style tournament called Courage. Which was hard ans hell and only 1 person made it every 3-4 months. a lot of people were stuck like this and it prevented a lot of really strong players from playing bw professionally. Plus with the current system in sc2. A plyer can come and do test sessions with a team to try out for them. This means that if they think they are good enough, they can come and play and let the coaches decide who gets to be on the team. In the bw system, that would not happen. The player would either have to be the next flash to have a team give out a special license, or they would have to have already won courage. Which means they are already super good, which also allows more rich teams to seek out that player, and other teams don't get the chance to. | ||
