One thing I still don't understand... Will there be BW pros playing in the open bracket with SC2 pros? Or is there an unique exhibition tournament for all the BW pros?

Conspiracies will be made until we know for sure what is going on, atm, we dont know. We know bw players are comming, we know they are going to play their own little tournament. But what does it mean for the future? we dont know.

Will MLG have some sort of seeding of kespa player? Will mlg winners have some seeding in kespa run tournaments? if they do will korean player not member of kespa allowed to take those seed by kespa if they win? What about showmatch, if i have i ton of money and i want a showmatch between.. Parting and Bisu, can Bisu even come? What about charity even not run by mlg can they play for those? What about streaming will kespa allow their player to stream?

Kespa has really really really shity reputation. You cant expect people to see only angels and flowers when you make a deal with the devil and make it exclusive ton top of it.

We dont know how Kespa will manage their team and player for sc2, but if its anything like sc1.. its not good news for the players on kespa that are not top 10, its not good for the current korean teams either.

Pretty counterproductive thread ^in my opinion. It's misleading to call it a discrepancy as theres no contradictions between the two announcements. One is just more specific than the other, and we can't conclude anything from that fact alone. The sole conceivable purpose of this thread is for speculation - speculation which has already been happening in the other thread.

Everyone, including the MLG guys, thought that Gom was following the set of rules where Naniwa was given a code S seed for that one MLG performance. Gom felt differently, and they got their way (eventually caving to foreigner fan pressure and giving him the next available seed).

I hope MLG got everything in airtight contracts this time, to spare everyone the confusion and embarrassment.

You clearly don't know MLGs reputation when it comes to competition of their business.

They are worse than KeSPA.

The latter. The BW players won't be good enough to win big tournaments for a few months.

prove that KeSPA approved their release ? believing their PR without checking isn't the best thing to do (and if you prove it I'd be happy)
Zest fanboy.

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?


So does MLG.

What does 'exclusive, multi-year' actually mean? For example, will you able to prevent KESPA players from playing in other tournaments if they want to?
