I don't think so. If they give into KeSPa, then KeSPa will engulf them again, at least that is what they and most people believe. So it sounds more like survival of the new model of ESports in SK. I don't think they are fighting to be top dog, they are fighting to let the open model work and let different leagues thrive.

I hope Blizzard gets pissed and just blacklists all Kespa-related IPs until Kespa stops being assholes. =)

This situation is so messed up though ._.

I am guessing it means Gom tv was fucked hard so ESF players, wanting to be loyal to kespa, fuck back Kespa.
Kespa is dumb and stupid but they will worry over this. Just a guess

B-teamers do get paid, but it really isn't much more than an allowance, especially for the hours they put in.

Can I have a source? From what I was aware they were given free rent, and that was it. Some may get a food subsidy, or have food provided, but neither or those qualify as a salary.

I thought I read something that B teamers get about 15k a year in salary. I swear to god I read that in an article or something somewhere on teamliquid a year or so ago. I could be wrong but I can vouche I read something like that.
When I think of something else, something will go here

It seems eSF team, coach, players are on the same page, while KeSPA not so much. If we can see some improvement from how KeSPA control their players (which is different from how they pay their players), then I guess some good can come out of it. Not getting my hopes up though.

Also I think KeSPA's statement and the Federation's announcement to boycott the OSL is worthy of its own news/thread. If it's true, that's kinda too huge news to just have sitting on Page 78 of this topic.

This shouldn't be confusing.

They are retaliating because this is what kespa did in bw to gom. They did not let their players play in GSL and it ended up KILLING gom for bw. As far as I know they disappeared from the bw scene after that.

They do NOT want a repeat of that. Can you blame them? I don't I actually support their decision. Kespa players themselves are even confused to why they cant play in gom. I hope this forces kespa to let their players make the decision. Because right now OSL is not going to happen or have to be restarted.



Ok but KESPA players signed contracts right?It is like the NFL letting its players play in the Arena Football League while the NFL is still having its playoffs. I like GOM but I like the OSL formate better. They have 2 big tournments a year and it makes them a bigger deal to win. Another football reference GOM is like having 16 Superbowls in 2 and half years.

I feel ESPF are being the bigger dicks here. GOM asked KESPA do you want to come to our wedding.KESPA says no.
Then GOM act like a crazy person and leaves OSL at the altar. Personally I think that is a more dick move.

Can someone clear this up for me. GOMTV is not on brodcast Korean TV right? If so does this make OGN more likely to want to work with ESPF. Being on brodcast TV is how the KESPA teams get the big sponsorships.

lol wat. There's no way. That's like a low A-teamers salary. A lot of high B-teamers/low A-teamers were making around $10,000, from what I'm aware. It must vary from team to team depending on sponsorship, I presume, but the way people fling around salaries is ridiculous. I am near positive almost all the B-teamers were not paid, or if they were, besides free rent and a possible food subsidy, it might have been something like < $2,000.

All "foreign" organizations need to side with GSL on this.
For the greater good of future e-Sports.

We, as foreigners, need to make sure e-Sports goes global.

Should boycott all streamed KeSPA events, even if we want to see them.

Otherwise we just submit to KeSPA's attempts to rule everything.

The KeSPA players knows that their biggest fanbase is now outside of Korea, because of the growth of Starcraft 2.

They won't stay with KeSPA for long if we, the fans and viewers, abandon KeSPA.

We need our grass to stay the "greenest".

Contracts have nothing to do with it. This isn't even GOM's decision fyi, this is the players decision. GOM didn't tell them to boycott they did it themselves and it's smart. They don't want GOM to die off like in GOM classic in bw because kespa didn't want their teams to play in it so they couldn't.

KESPA are trying to brute-force GOM out the SC2 industry. How can you call them the better man?
