Here's couple things I didn't mention. Oz isn't listed there only because he wasn't in Korea to be in the conference. Choya is doing damage control because people think Oz bailed on everyone by staying in OSL.

Also the bottom of the article states e-Sports Federation Players Representative Nestea. That's pretty awesome.


not sure if legit, but it might shed some light on why Oz is still in


Wolf tweeted that Fnatic is not on ESF.

ESF's reaction looks like one of the most effective SCV-pulls I've seen.
Busy night, but there's always room for another... unless the servers are down.

I think it's good that ESF takes action and not just sit there. Really cool to see by ESF

Deciding not to join the next league is really bad, but pulling out in the middle of the league is a dick move. GOM cant just say Fuck You this loud lol. I fear that if KeSPA decides to play dirty too, GOM might be done for

this is not going to benefit anyone


It's clearly better than the alternative.


the alternative is that we see kespa players in gsl next season when kespa believes they stand a chance

sucks for the kespa players but it's better for the scene

hahaha Korean E-sports drama is the BEST.
Get beer and popcorn guys, I predict some epic days of angry Koreans raging at how their organization is better.

Props to ESF, let Kespa know they can't screw every1 over like they did in BW.

This could decide SC2's future in Korea as an esport. If it fails you can pretty much say goodbye to SC2 ever getting huge in Korea. Pretty huge decision

this is really favoring ESF tho, since basically every one including kespa players AND blizzard dislikes kespa rofl.... this makes it almost certain kespa will come to terms and agreement unless kespa actually is retarded.

I'm normally not for the "eye for an eye" thing as I think it's equally low of the retaliating party. However since it is KeSPA they are retaliating against, then more power to the ESF.

Although I'm starting to think that esports (and the Korean StarCraft scene), would hurt from this.

I LOVE this decision, but hope its not bad.

League is already huge in Korea, and i felt KESPA type stuff (in conjunction with GOM) would help raise the popularity of sc2 -- especially with hots on the horizon.

Kespa is pulling the same bullshit they pulled in sc1 in trying to control their players and what their players DECIDE to do.

I like how gom handles things (internationally esp) and i hope this either kicks kespa into getting sht sorted out, or ends kespa and lets the players go someplace else....

Fuck KeSPA, seriously they need to let their PLAYERS decide what tournaments they go to.

I know some of KeSPA players are going to be busy, but come on.. not ALL KeSPA players will be too busy to at least try and qualify for code A, it's the blanket carpet bombing style ban that is disgraceful from KeSPA.

Let's be honest, these tactics from KeSPA are an effort to get all of the famous players in a tournament that ISN'T GSL.

I'm sure they had ideas such as - "The ONLY place to see all of the best players in the world"

The OSL feat. Flash, JD, MVP and MKP., where else can you see all of these players??

So glad to see GSL/ESF telling KeSPA to go suck it.
Cheese is only cheese when you lose, when you win it's a valid tactic

I can't even put into words how insane this is, I can't believe they are pulling out after the ODT and after the group selection ceremony.

Can they even do that? Aren't there contracts since It's on TV?

So ESF have some leverage, this is good and will hopefully result in better things for everyone.

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.

When I think of something else, something will go here
