MLG stopped doing Tekken last year after running it for a year the year before, their current fighting game roster of SCV/MK9/KOF13 aren't handled by KeSPA in Korea and only KOF13 has any significant popularity. | ||

Kespa is just being cautious since they know that the BW players are really not ready yet for SC2. Detective Waxangel to the case! More like Kespa is keeping as much hidden as possible and then use their players as leverage to sign other deals with other major tournaments. Potentially preventing they're best players from participating in non-Kespa partnered events. Not to mention that if Kespa feels that they weren't getting enough out of the deal, they could just not renew the contract, which could subconsciously force MLG to live stream more matches of Kespa players in order to keep Kespa happy. Eventually the entire world would fall under the influence of Kespa. | ||
