I don't think you will see a Kespa player at Homestory Cup or IPL etc. Dreamhack and MLG are cooperating so that might be a possibility and I believe MLG and IEM are in negotiations at the moment but I don't know what that will mean for Kespa players exactly. | ||

KeSPA has done a lot of controversial things but they don't leave their partners to hang out to dry (See: Naniwa and Code S Seed). MLG looked like idiots and assholes for promoting something that GOM claimed wasn't true (Code S seed), and came out with a professional response that didn't slaughter GOM. Regardless of what side of the argument you fall on regarding whether Naniwa deserved the seed after the probe rush, GOM's response claiming that no Code S seed was just paperthin and ridiculous. | ||

The only exclusivity implied I believe is the fact, KeSPA players at the current moment will only be allowed to attend MLG and DH events. The only difference here is KeSPA players will get special privileges and I believe MLG will be paying for their flights. They want to razzle dazzle some of the finest RTS players walking this damn earth. | ||

That's why I said they both have made boneheaded moves. Normally you would see me defending KeSPA on this section of the forums, but to call one better than the other? No sir. I never play favourites. | ||

KESPA and GOM both make an extremely professional product with zero down time, delay, extremely minimal technical difficulties which are broadcast on television with an appropriate level of professionalism. All that stuff is leaps and bounds ahead of IPL, Dreamhack, MLG and IEM's which are plagued by delays, sound/video issues, down time and other stuff which would be absurd to see on television. | ||

KeSPA have and tried to sell licensing fees to tournaments outside of Korea for their players to compete. That's where Blizzard stepped in and said, "Hey, what the hell you guys think you're doing selling licensing/TV rights?" ._. That's when Blizzard really started to take notice of exactly what KeSPA was doing. | ||

Ryanair.com Your sir, are dumb. Why would you want to find accomodation in Stockholm for Dreamhack Summer (Which is on the west coast of Sweden, the other side from stockholm). If you're not that picky you could just sleep in the sleeping halls at Dreamhack Summer. And accomodation isn't really that expensive in Jönköping, I could easily make do the travel from Dublin to Jönköping and even not pass the 200 euro mark. Please stop talking shit about things you dont know. T_T | ||

“We are pleased to join with MLG to bring the best players in the world to the international stage,” said Lee Young Hee, President of KeSPA Anyone else find this a bit arrogant? Even if it's true, which is debateable of late... I would love to see Thorzain, Naniwa, or any other "foreigner" mop the floor with Kespa players. (a man can dream can't he?) | ||
