Do you want a list of events that KeSPA players competed in? o-O

It's documented.

KeSPA(+all korean) progamers were "banned" from non-korean competition because they were too good (TLS1, 2).

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

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.

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

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.

It doesn't cost 1000 Euros to travel from Ireland to sweden, rather 50-60 euros (excl. accommodation)

What? Why would you exclude accomodation. There's no way you're going to get from Ireland to Sweden and back (including taxi/train to the airport in Ireland/Stockholm) pay for three day's accomodation, plus a pass for Dreamhack and food while you are there for less than 600 euros, and that's if you stay somewhere really shitty and eat crappy food and don't see any of Stockholm while you're there.

The Plane tickets also cost way, way more than you said.

https://book.flysas.com/

For example are charging 241 euros for a return trip from Dublin to Stockholm.

You sir are a master at finding overpriced air tickets.

Feel free to find cheap return flights from Dublin to Stockholm for the dates of the next Dreamhack.

64 Euros (46 to stockholm from dublin and 14.7 euro back from stockholm to dublin) you'll arrive two days prior to DH though since the flight of the date of 15th was sold out.

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

The post of someone who's never paid for a holiday in his life.

I've probably traveled arround Europe more than you ever will in your life, you clearly dont know SHIT about travelling, especially since you look up flights on SAS in the first place. -.-

TSL isn't the only non-Korean competition out there bud, but nice try and that's because it was about amateurs.

This is indeed a good news.
The only concern is 'exclusive', being that the current BW guys will only compete in KeSpa leagues and MLG.... If this is the case, it's really hard to tell if this is actually a good news...

What do you want to see them in? PL? Not a chance.

Maybe open qualifers for OSLs is a possibility, but they would still have to qualify like everyone else. There are no free byes.

The real benefit they get is having KeSPA players at their events, which is a pretty big deal.

So Kespa players will feature in MLG's. Does this mean Kespa tournaments will feature foreigner seeds from MLG Tournaments, or is it just a one-way thing?

If you're talking about Starcraft related events those are the biggest bud. The one-offs are far and few like All-Stars and STX hosting their own.

I know they want BW players at their event, and the players will have limited time, but the way going about it that isn't exclusivity. That makes them look bad and focused on profits much more than growing the scene. They should be attending their tourneys due to them offering the best service, price pool etc. not because they contractually have to!

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.

MLG promoting something that GOM claimed wasn't true and GOM is unprofessional? If you think GOM lied about it then come out and say so. GOM has made decisions in the past in that I don't agree with, some decisions that makes me want to throw fruits at Mr. Chae, but they have never lied about it, unlike Kespa. Maybe GOM just haven't been around long enough and they are actually just like Kespa, but until then, I will believe them as long as there's no evidence to the contrary.

So, BW players at MLG Anaheim. I hope they stay for Championship Sunday. Else I'll HAVE to go both -if not all three- days!

I'm glad I live close to MLG Anaheim compared to much of the world.

I think people should stop freaking out until we find out just what "exclusive" means in this agreement.
