Cant say i support this. man why couldnt kespa be a little more late to the party when team have real big money. Yo, Col.Bizu, EG flash, Liquid Jaedong. That would have been the greatest thing for sc2. this deal, its going to rise esport to a new level for sure, but its going to do so by steping on the corpses of people letf out. | ||

So realistically this exhibition match will actually do more harm than good. Or that the teams will just send the B-teamers. I can guarantee you are wrong. Flash will absolutely be there barring sickness or injury. | ||

That as well... but it's kind of hard to get motivated (if you are a HALO pro) if you can only play 5 events a year and any time a potential new LAN appears, MLG stomps it out, buying up all their talent and moving on. Sure the recent games sucked, but what MLG did didn't help their scene either... | ||

This partnership could also imply that both parties will try their best to avoid such scheduling conflicts, possibly scheduling Proleague around MLG to avoid such problems. | ||

For tennis fans, imagine if the US Open managed to secure a deal that prevented Nadal/Fed/Djoko/etc from competing in Wimbleton or even ATP events. Absolutely insane. | ||

Now they can go to MLG and Kespa stuff and that it. This is a huge kick in the nuts to all the other leagues. I dont really fault MLG to get in on this deal, prety sure kespa want to keep his force choke grip on their players and MLG was just being a good buisness. Cant say i support this. man why couldnt kespa be a little more late to the party when team have real big money. Yo, Col.Bizu, EG flash, Liquid Jaedong. That would have been the greatest thing for sc2. this deal, its going to rise esport to a new level for sure, but its going to do so by steping on the corpses of people letf out. EG Flash would suck, Liquid Jaedong would suck, Col.Bisu would suck. They got far not only because of their talent, but because of their training conditions, these teams don't have players that practice as much. | ||

None of these teams can afford to pay any of the three's salaries either. | ||

KT and SKT1 send their entire teams on vacations to Hawaii, Thailand, etc. in the offseason. I'm pretty sure they're doing alright to sustain Flash and Bisu's contracts for the next 100 years if need be. | ||

Absolutely insane. Correct. It's not right to have the Kespa players exclusively in MLG. The players should have freedom to participate in any big global event without restrictions. | ||

Absolutely insane. tbh I doubt they will attend those. one to two PL matches per week, plus OSL, possibly plus GSL in the future + typical rigid proteam training. So, foreign tourneys might just be a vacation thingy or most likely b-teamers will get some exposure | ||

And ill die laughing if the KT will lose their PL match and not make it to the play-offs(yeah i know 0.001% chances of happening) cause their players will be not present or jetlagged. | ||
