This may end up killing SC2 completely in Korea


No it won't. It might hurt Kespa, but GOM will be fine as from what I read korean fans (that watch GSL players anyway) agree with their decision as it's been fairly positive someone said.


I dont think thats a reality, if GOM(ESF) risks that much, it means they are threatened already by Kespa players reputation in Korea. Meaning Kespa already leads in Korea, how long GOM will live by foreign votes?


What are they risking though? Kespa fucked GOM, so ESF fucked Kespa. Considering ESF has been basically supported by the regular paycheck of GSL, the move makes sense. Mr. Chae (and Artosis on a few SOTGs) has gone on record multiple times saying GSL was basically there to fund teams until they could get real sponsors with Code A and Code S paychecks.

What happened was Kespa threw a jab at GOM, and ESF stepped in to tackle them to the ground. Now Kespa has figure out how they're going to get standing again.

Can you tell me what they're risking? Especially when Korean fans are uniformly with the ESF decision?


ESF what are they risking? Their organization along with GOM. Why? Because KESPA doesn't need their players now, they will just offer them bigger paychecks later. Because KESPA has MONEY. KESPA threw a fucking haymaker. ESF slapped them because they have no real influence. Now, KESPA doesn't have to give a shit. One more blow. Snipe all ESF/GOM players ASAP. Why? Cuz dey has money.

Wicked! I hope both sides come to an agreement now. At least Gom appeared to want to be friendly with everyone. I want both leagues to excell.

Guess not.

Seriously, GOM & co are such drama queens.


Just an FYI this is the players decisions. Nothing to do with GOM the players want to react themselves. Isn't that funny now you can't blame GOM as they don't have ANY control over the players in what they play or not.


Yes, let's trust bland PR statements because they're definitely being honest. -_-

It's literally the same thing on both sides and for literally the same reasons. Except the GSL players already committed to playing in OSL.

MC came out on twitter to say he sides the ESF. Choya is explaning OZ's side. That's not PR. And the one who announce this decision is Nestea. A player. See the difference?

Because OGN is part of Kespa committee that had a say in GSL boycott. They deserve it.

LOL you are pushing it.


Really? source

Read the article. That's exactly what it says.

The 3\4 of the views at the vod of nominations was made by mc dressing like undertaker. Deal with it, and then decide about your players.

are the players ok with this though? Isn't ESF just doing exactly the same thing that we called Kespa out on? I doubt the GSL players don't want to play in the OSL

GOMTV has done everything in it's power/budget to try and accommodate their very poor participants/teams, even though they had no obligation to.

It's just right that the teams/players return the favor.

No idea, but choya is helping because Oz is his buddy. They are tight but Oz is not in korea so he can't find a way to communicate. that's why choya is helping.

I support GOM all the way. KeSPA have ever since they were overtaken by major businesses been a bunch of A-Grade assholes.

sucks if ESF players won't be in the osl, but at the same time I'm glad someone stood up to Kespa being dicks.
