But we now have our own plans so screw you. And no, you may not know what we planned yet." It's the same shit we've seen before with the GOM Classic. They don't want to stretch their players thin and they want more time for training. As Violet said before he passed away. It's all about the wins. They NEED to WIN. | ||

"KeSPA told GOMTV: "It was difficult to adjust the player's schedules." Though the season will be over after this weekend, KeSPA needs to schedule Proleague post-season matches, along with the huge project that they are working on. Thus, they decided to not allow their players in participating this upcoming GSL" Well that sounds familiar. | ||

If they don't have KeSPA in Korea they'll get shunned and even if what you said were true SC2 would get even more buried because SC2 isn't the only title KeSPA has under it's library of games. so what if KesPA doesnt paly sC2? they still have gom and the entire rest of thre freaking world and since alot of the kroean feedback regarding this is negative theyve pretty much got Korea too | ||

When the GOM Classic was running alongside the MSL/OSL/PL players did complain about being tired and teams did eventually drop out. MSL is no longer around so OSL/PL should be no problem with the amount of games right? KeSPA's always ran things like this. | ||

The essence though is that it isn't kespa teams limiting themselves it's kespa denying players the right to enter to strengthen leagues they have more control over, all be it with some really awful reasoning given instead. The problem with this line of reasoning is that it assumes that individual kespa players normally get to decide such things for themselves, and are suddenly being denied the right to do that. Whereas it's actually normal for the teams (and Kespa as the association of teams+broadcasters) to make such decisions, not the players. A Kespa team simply won't tell a player to go do whatever he wants and play in any league he wants. That's NEVER going to happen. In order for Kespa players to be able to play in the GSL, the team has to come to the players and say "ok, GSL is now in our schedule, here's the schedule by which we're going to work the next month" or something of the sort. I'm not saying that the Kespa's interests as a team association didn't play a role in the decision, but there are definitely more practical issues as well. The important thing to realize is that these players actually belong to the teams and the way they spend their time and what they spend it on is also organized by the teams. | ||

There's nowhere that follows SC2 that isn't going crazy for Kespa players in the past few months. The only way a Gom player gets mentioned is if he loses to a Kespa player. So why would they just hand them out? They are in huge demand, a competitor simply says "okay same game give us your players" what would anyone say to that? Probably the dumbest post of the thread. | ||

For next season of Proleague they can probably schedule it different so some ppl can do shit like MLG. | ||

This is what's saddening that the players don't have a say nor do the team coaches. KeSPA still able to dictate when and where players are able to go despite signing agreements with GOM and Blizzard to unify and grow the Esports brand. | ||

I fear the day where OSL and GSL are on at the same time and I'll need to decide which one to watch. OSL will be free 720p (most likely?) with Moletrap & DoA and the best KeSPA and best GOM players. GSL will be free 240p with Tastosis and Wolfdor and the best GOM players. Not an easy decision. With Moletrap and DoA casting, I think it'll be much easier to choose GSL. | ||

Blizzard is counting on KeSPA to give the game more exposure in Korea. Their options are limited whereas KeSPA. Well, they have plenty of options. Blisard can deny them the right to run any tournament. Kespa can still do whatever BS they want, just without any broadcasting and such, and hence, zero profits. On August 23 2012 23:31 Forikorder wrote: they dont have to argue anything, if they press a button KeSPA cant paly SC2 thats a fact Not just that. Considering Korea is, supposed to take US IP pretty seriously, the entire idea that goverment institution can infringe copyright just like that, wwould do terrible damage to Korea`s international relations. | ||

Unlike Gom, which just provides the tournament but does not control the teams or players, KeSPA owns the teams and the players and can make sweeping decisions for them, despite their wishes. Gom can say "We don't want this player or this team" in their tournament, but they can't say "This player will not be allowed to play in any tournament. Any tournament that lets this player into their bracket will never see MVP, DRG, MKP, Nestea, or MC in any of their tournaments ever." KeSPA, on the other hand, has that power because of how they are structured. Whether or not the PLAYERS feel they are ready, KeSPA's decision on it (for whatever reason, legitimate or not) effectively prevents any of their players from doing so. It also prevents Flash or Jaedong from trying to get into NASL, IEM, HSC, IPL, etc. MLG is the only authorised foreign event they can go to, and that is also subject to KeSPA's decisions regarding scheduling or "readiness" to compete. As far as GSL Season 4 goes, I wouldn't get too much up in arms. There are some reasons for making that decision. But going forward, it will be a little tougher to understand. | ||

People do go ape shit for guys like MC, DRG, MKP with all the exposure they receive and wins. At the last MLG with the KeSPA tournament people were pretty infatuated with the new kids on the block and when given the stage you could see a difference between your run of the mill Korean and them. They're performers. They understand that and likewise they give the crowd what they want. This is nothing really new to them either. Other than that yeah what floor said is really off the mark lol. | ||
