so whats this about? The only thing I can seem to think that happened here is that the Kespa players pulling out of the GSL was to not attract the OSL viewers to GSL (a bigger coming together of Kespa players v GSL players) and instead have the GSL crowd come to OSL for the first "big" coming together of Kespa + GSL players

Well i would have to say that this is apalling and really just what was feared in regards to Kespa. I don't know how much of the personnel at Kespa has changed if any from the broodwar days but i suspect very little.
We say the first GOM announcement and it was full of suggestive language that Kespa was being a fucking cunt about it. I read the first 2-3 pages of TL comments and no one seemed to grasp that they were effectively boycotting GOM. Corporate culture does not change easily and if as i suspect effectively the same people are at the top then Kespa will not change.

I am worried about what will happen i love IM it is full of great players and the sort players that you know are not quite there but hey they might surprise you. We saw that with Seed, no one picked him even i didn't think he could win. But there he was another IM champ. I think about the other players in that team and what they could be learning and the skill they must have.
But no. You just hear that Kespa is refusing to allow an open and competitive market that will create the best players and the best events. We have a situation were most of these ESF pros will probably get tossed aside. Why recruit the B Teamers when we could have the obvious Code S talent? The people that really understand the game.

I am disappointed and annoyed with both the decision but it was Kespa who was the cunt about it. People can say they will stand by GOM and i would certainly prefer to but i want to watch the best Starcraft. I really do not bother with most of the leagues (partly as i am from Aus and korean times are only +2 hours or so) like MLG, NASL and the various European tournaments as the play is just not that great. Why watch the A-League when the EPL is far better in almost every wway.

You would think that Kespa would get a good foreign stream seeing as they seem to care some what about the foreign scene hence the MLG partnership but who knows? We though that they would cooperate in the era of sc2.

I am worried and interested to see the outcome.

In less than a year, GOM and ESF will be no more. KeSPA can always just find the next 8 players on their side to participate.

Kespa really really strikes me as a bunch of frustrated short men with even shorter penises.

We want eSports to grow like regular sports (there are tons of tournaments around the world at the same time), not be dominated by one tournament with only 32 players getting anything (B-teamers stuck cleaning dishes and not getting paid for anything).

KeSPA doing this stuff in an attempt to monopolize everything isn't going to help. Also competition is always a good thing as it prevents one company from being able to do what they want regardless of what the consumer or employees want.

I can't understand why people think Gom(or ESF) and KeSPA are equally shitty.
It's totally KeSPA's fault and betrayal.
Maybe people who started watching E-Sporst from SC2 don't know what KeSPA did in BW.
Life for life.

Such a poor and sad standpoint of KESPA.
ESF had to do something and i think it was the right move.
I really hope KESPA reconsiders. I don't want to have to two seperated leagues with two seperate playerbases.
If KESPA goes through with it i won't watch OGN until the issue is resolved.

When some Slayers are qualified it would be great cause so would be a different way the better one.....
I think Korean E-Sports is going to be like F1,but in the end the would find always a solution.
Is MC part of the ESF?When the membership is caused by the team affiliation,he shouldn´t have any problems.Why should Sk member of eSF -.-.
I am very hopefull that the membership in eSF is like a TL Acc which u first have to close so that u arent any longer member of TL......

GOM playing hard ball now, it's all or nothing.
Wow would have never imagined such a role reversal.
