This was just what we needed

Not

Thanks for helping Kespa continue their shitty practices with exclusive agreements about what the players can or cannot do.

If there is exclusivity, then fuck you MLG. Europeans are pretty much screwed since they won't realistically be able to meet their favourite BW players if they ONLY play at MLG and in Korea...
If there isn't exclusivity, then it's pretty good news

So if I've understood this correctly, MLG is the only foreign tournament in which KeSPA players are allowed to play, and tournaments run by KeSPA are the only ones they're allowed to play in in Korea? Invitationals are not allowed to invite any players associated with KeSPA?

And how is this beneficial for eSports again?
- Because I can.

Europeans weren't exactly filled with options for meeting our favourite current Koreans. Most of the biggest names (MVP, MMA, DRG, MKP, Nestea, MC) aren't in Europe that often with the exception of MC. Not to mention it's hardly cheap for most Europeans to travel to Germany or Sweden for the weekend and I don't think many people were going to these events anyway who weren't from the country they were in.

I don't like organizations controlling the players, not one bit. We'll have to see how this turns out though.

Maybe it's time for a global player organization that watches their interests.

Well MMA and Nestea were in Paris like a week ago, remember? Yea koreans are more often in the US but that's not a particularly good argument. Also, traveling to Sweden for a Dreamhack or to Germany for IEM is way easier (and cheaper) than going to the US

Why is that getting downvoted
Seems like a good honest answer.

More like GOM dumped MLG for the younger hotter IPL and is now watching MLG get married to the hottest girl in Korea, jealosy will ensue.

This is horrible news if MLG doesnt allow GSL payers to join too ... Death to the international scene with korean pros dominating US events?

I"m not sure why everyone is complaining. This was pretty clearly going to happen after MLG and GSL ended their partnership. If MLG wasn't doing it this way, I really don't think anyone else like IPL or NASL could be doing it differently.

Hehe, looks like we are up for some serious competition in US. Its hard to say more withut knowing exactly what "exclusive" means. But i doubt it will have serious impact on EU, i mean Dreamhack and IEM model are pretty much not affected by this either way, so they are here to stay.
Pathetic Greta hater.

You're complaining about this deal denying you something that you never really had in the first place.

If you were regularly shelling out 1000 Euros to go to Sweden from Ireland to see MC then fair enough, this deal might lose you something but I really doubt you or many other people were.

USA costs more than Sweden and Germany sure, but the USA is also a much better place to visit especially over Sweden.

Yeah, sure some people might not like it, but this is in MLG's best interest. And GOM screwed them over before, sure a lot of us don't like KeSPA but they are a lot more professional than GOM.
