Just let your players play if they want to (they said they did). | ||

There is no reason they couldn't have left GSL participation up to the individual, or even the team. People might have understood if players in playoff teams chose not to participate or if players who are still really behind the curve in SC2 chose to step aside for an extra GSL or two. But to force every KeSPA player to stay away from the GSL is another thing entirely. Not to mention the timing of it all, this comes out right after all the GSL players have basically committed to the OSL and gone through group selection amicably... This just feels way too much like the type of thing I remember KeSPA for. So much for "harmony." | ||

KeSPA gives out progamer licenses. GSL players don't have them, so by KeSPA standards, they are semi-pros or amateurs. | ||

Gotcha, by KeSPa standards, but not by realistic standards. Thanks for clearing up what you were saying there. Yeah, it is a big joke at this point. | ||

But by the definition of the word, many GSL players are progamers. I'm honestly disgusted that a tournament organizer has this amount of control that KeSPA has over players participating in their league. Here's to hoping players will break away from KeSPA, but I doubt that will ever happen. | ||

Essentially, GSL could be too big of a time investment if you start losing your players in Code A-limbo. My guess is that KeSPA would be more accommodating if they knew their players could actually win the tournament right of the bat instead of months of qualifiers against more established players. The OSL is far better in that regard - less time involved, better chance of winning. | ||

And they have the balls to say Blizzard is "money grabbing cunts." Fuck Kespa. | ||
