If you're projecting "the product" to include every other tournament, that's clearly not MLG's responsibility as a business. | ||

MLG wants to grow esports, but they also are a business with the goal of making money, and getting an exclusive contract for these players looks like it could give them a leg up over other leagues I am far more likely to support Dreamhack now, especially given MLG's oft greedy business tactics. And yeah, businesses are supposed to make money - but cooperation helps everyone and is more ethical. | ||

Please learn a thing or two from Dreamhack and GSL! And the MLG's new Korean qualifier VODs use some low graphic settings. It's so not professional. And ob's camera is also too great to catch some important moments. | ||

Even if MLG wanted to allow Kespa players participate in other NA tournaments, Kespa simple won't allow that. Kespa is always very conservative and kinda isolated. I think this exclusive thing is not because of MLG but Kespa. | ||

Regardless, KeSPA is bad for SC2. Very bad. I hope GSL players decide to totally skip MLG events now because of KeSPA. | ||

Nowadays even boxer streamed time to time. I dont feel the same if I can access MKP stream that easy, I am not as excited when he shows up in a tournament. Even more on the topic, If I were kespa I wouldnt agree, and also Im not sure if in one month the top kespa SCII players will be able to put up an actual show in SCII, when we have been watching it for that long with really top players. | ||

It's like MLG is the dude and they dumped Gom for the hotter and more "exprienced" Kespa. Maybe cos I joined the bandwagon when SC2 came out and wasn't a fan of SC BW. Yeah... this is me... an SC2 fan that feels somewhat indebted to Gom for GSL. So the question on my mind is if Kespa SC2 proleague and GSL were to air at the same time, which do you watch? My view on the exclusivity is if it is MLG who wanted it then I'm a bit disappointed in them. If it was Kespa then I'd say I'm not surprised. | ||

If every decent Korean pro is signed with KeSPA, and the only foreign tourney they're allowed to enter is MLG, then that's pretty much GG for Dreamhack, NASL, IPL, HSC, Iron Squid and whatever. Great for MLG, terrible for the scene. | ||
