Love the responses from Korean fans on the kespa official forum. Kespa have really got themselves into a corner. On the other hand, big props to federation (and Nestea) for showing some balls.


link?


this one i guess

http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=1273725&board=&category=102&subcategory=&page=1&best=&searchmode=&search=&orderby=&token=

searched for content on the official kespa site. allthough i can't understand any korean at all i think i've found the normal fourm with threads and stuff. all the titles i shoved into google translator sound pretty angry.

kespa forum

Entertaining indeed

OSL is part of KeSPA, they sit on KeSPA board. They could break loose from KeSPA but it's HIGHLY unlikely.

Can you show which position OGN occupy?

They are ON the board of directors (along with all the sponsors/owners to teams)

quote FXOBoSs:
1) OGN and KESPA are pretty much the same thing. Their interests are extremely common and 1 company is the common party.


http://fxoboss.tumblr.com/post/30093362883/sharpen-the-pitchforks-light-the-torches-kespa-is

Could i have the name of the OGN representative on the board of directors? Am i suppose to take that blog post as fact? Not that it even mentions OGN being on the KeSPA board. I'm not doing this just to be a pain. I've notice you've posted many different things in this thread with conviction and i'm wondering, how does he know this? Why don't i know this?


The name of the OGN representative ! Ahhahahahahaha GOGO TRYHARD RANGER !

But why i don't know this ? WHYYYYYYY ???????/

So we are supposed to take what hes posted as fact on faith?


No !

Who the hell is this clueless guy ?

And hence the problem when KeSPA reaches the SC2 board... No one knows anything and its just a bunch of nerd making shit up.

Why would this kill eSports? If anything, Kespa is killing eSports - Fucking money hungry, monopoly holding pieces of shit they are. Never had a good impression of them.

that's what he means, the entire situation could turn out to kill e-sports. at least gloabally.


No really, why? Why would it KILL eSports?!?!? People will still watch it. Just Korean SC2 that'll die if anything, but who the fuck cares about that, people will still watch MLG, show up to MLG. What does Kespa have to do with global eSports dying?

Angry tone, sorry, but I'm getting frustrated with people acting like one incident will suddenly kill eSports. LoL is growing hard, it will surpass SC2. If he means this will kill SC2, then yes, maybe. But not outside Korea.

The point is that Kespa does not spoil GSL(at least in the short term), while GSL(or ESF whatever) basically destroys the next OSL.
We are dusts in the vast cosmic arena. Need to make the most out of life when we still have it.

Im kind of sick of hearing that ESF isn't Gom. Just look at your favorite player team shirt. There is a GOM patch on every uniform in place reserved for sponsors. You can argue that GOM sponsors GSL teams and there for has a unofficial power in ESF. Its especially visible with this move.

Devil advocate mode on

What does ESF teams gain from this? To be honest i see no gain for them.

By withdrawing from the tournament they:
a) limit their sponsors presence on TV
b) make sponsoring a tournament a "risky" business. That could even backfire for GOM since new sponsor would surerly learn about it.
c) limit the additional earnings of their players.
d) this point is pure speculation into how korean team work - decreses team budget duo to not getting percentage of players winning in OSL.

Oh. And its funny that the letter is sign by Nestea. (of IM).
IM team withdrew some of its players from GOM organised event (WCS Korea) so they could be present at Gameson as a publicity. And of course poach some money from IEM.

About Kespa previous move.

Since right now they are in middle of transition and want to keep their fans (yeah they have them. Just compare the GOM studio and PL studio crowds) its more advantageous to them to do it with their tournaments - so they wouldn't lose fans to gom. Also Code A qualifiers are brutal. Even more than the first round of Code S. Sending their players there now is highly inadvisable bearing the results of WCS Korea qualifiers.... Most of Kespa players needed seeds to ge in.

Kespa didn't say they will never play in GSL. They just stated that they are not ready to play yet.

mode off

To sum it up... Those silly koreans.
If it keeps happening again i wouldn't be surprised if in future to participate in any torunament you would have to sign a legally bound document that would state what you can and can't do, and what kind of penalties you will suffer for withdrawing
