that'd probably force ESF to reconsider boycotting pretty quickly | ||

Except the GSL players already committed to playing in OSL. And GOM and ESF are close enough that it's silly to say it has nothing to do with GOM. How dare you doubt Nestea! | ||

Looks like "everyone not KeSPA" won't accept being bullied by the latter and I hope this will lead to OGN putting some pressure on KeSPA. I still think KeSPA should have let the players, or even the teams decide if they wanted to participate. | ||

It is not even that much of a big deal! Who cares if KESPA players aren't in the up coming GSL qualifiers this time! Jesus, now they have just spoilt an amazing tournament in OSL coming up. I'd much rather see KESPA vs KESPA for a bit longer anyway, maybe just one more season (2-3more months) as i think they still need a bit more time to be able to be ready for proper good games vs GSL players. Now we get another huge shit storm which might be the final nail in the coffin for this never to happen! | ||

They don't plan on playing in the OSL already lol. They aren't going to try next season if kespa is still going to ban their players from playing in GSL. | ||

ESF/GOM did everything right in this case, they don't like getting screwed over, they did the only thing they could do. It sucks, but KeSPA has to be brought down to an acceptable level of power cause this is just retarded. I won't be watching any OSL events until KeSPA gives in. | ||

I doubt the GSL players don't want to play in the OSL The ESF IS the players... research my good man it is not hard to do, maybe you should try it sometime. | ||

But i understand this decision and kind of support it. I think Kespa brought it on them self. | ||

I think this is the right move to do. It's sad overall, and it makes me a bit nervous to think about how this could "hurt esports" as we like to call it. But a line had to be drawn, and KeSPA needs to understand that maybe it's not always a good idea to try to make everyone play by their rules. | ||

What I'm hoping for right now is that the Kespa-players just give Kespa the finger and play in GSL anyway, alhough from my limited knowledge of the Kespa scene that might be near impossible. | ||

All this does is make SC2 more unattractive to the average viewer who does not want drama. | ||
