KeSPA approved our release and we approved theirs.

no need to start more conspiracies.

I don't always play SC2 but when I do I prefer Marines

Sundance's post still doesn't answer the question of exclusivity... Are the Kespa players able to go to other western tournaments or not?

I don't know, it just seems like KeSPA said less stuff than MLG and thus didn't mention the details that MLG provided. It didn't seem like a misunderstanding to me.

Then again, I don't know what exactly is supposed to be included in a Memorandum of Understanding, and in this MoU in particular.

Now I wonder why KESPA doesn't want the Korean community to know about the exclusivity aspect of the deal...

That doesn't change the fact they could still undermine you in future dealings considering how bland their statement was.

Regardless of your approval.

No, this doesn't really clarify anything...

I think it's just cultural differences and not really a strategic move.

Also the
"marking the first time in eSports history that KeSPA players will participate in video game tournaments in the United States."

quote is horseshit.

you know what would be funny? if the BW pros turned out to be completely mediocre save for a couple guys, kespa loses all its leverage, and MLG is left trying to catch up to the rest of the world as GSL/IPL continue to flourish

The BW pros will be completely mediocre for the next few months. Regardless of talent, they'll need time and practice to gain the experience necessary to compete.

Pretty sure this is why the BW pros get their own exhibition matches as oppose to the regular pool or open bracket.
Thank God and gunrun.

Kespa wants to protect its SC2 player base from the existing SC2 player pool, and MLG helps them by setting up exhibition tournaments for them.

Once Kespa players are at SC2 pro level, it makes no sense to keep them out of other foreign tournements.

I mean, they like money, don't they?
