FXO Boss was pretty cool with KeSPA when they weren't pulling this stuff (sure he was a bit cynical with KeSPA and made some negative remarks regarding them before, but he stopped shortly after they went into SC2 and let their players play in GOM ready action and WCS). | ||

What would be the value of GSL if there is OSL ? What would be the value of Proleague if there is GSTL ? KeSPA and ESF have to agree on one individual league and one team league otherwise two things will happen : - The four leagues continue to exist with two distinct sets of players. Only tournaments like WCS, WCG and maybe foreign events will have players from both federation. - GOM dies eventually because KeSPA is more established and OGN has more financial power than GOM. ESF teams have to choose between joining KeSPA or disband. Some will join, some won't. The players from disbanded teams will either join foreign teams, KeSPA teams or retire. Foreign scene dies slowly because KeSPA doesn't care about foreign it and won't send its players abroad for tournaments (officially for scheduling reasons). Doesn't that sound familiar to you ? | ||

With that being said, i think this is such a dick move by esf. If they wanna take a stand, they shouldn't do it at someone else's expense. | ||

I guess it's time to boycott all korean sc2? Not exactly. Most of their players (well at least the ones who made a comment) were for this. While on the KeSPA side, most players (and their team coach) wanted to participate in GSL but were forbidden. Again, you could forbid some players but for outright forbidding everyone(even though with nothing else to do?) from attempting to participate in GSL? | ||

GOMS best bet is to let the 8 teams join SPL and then GSL and OSL be the 2 seperate leagues where all compete, if they don't get kespa players to compete in GSL. also the decision to pull out of OSL is the best choice, like others said if GSL players participated in OSL and the kespa players didn't in GSL well OSL is by the best league. Again esF is a collection of players, they all agreed to withdraw from OSL, kespa said no to players entering GSL when players wanted to. | ||

They can't participate either? KeSPA is just trying to monopolize the market and take it all to themselves. A lot of people will lose because of that (GOM, jobs loss + less tournaments which means less chances for people to participate as a pro gamer). As for KeSPA and their star power - I come for the positiveness of eSports (usually) that the community and tournament organizers bring . I definitely won't bother with OSL anymore if KeSPA pulls Finally, I couldn't care less if Blizzard prevents KeSPA from playing SC2, KeSPA switches to LoL, and SC2 dies in Korea. (A scenario someone suggested previously back in response to what Blizzard could potentially do.) (The hatewagon on LoL really puts me off of the SC2 community too, even though this is a bit off topic >.>.) + Show Spoiler + Off topic - (For reference, take a look at the comments) Moletrap talks about LoL for a minute and then makes a good reason why he's talking about it, then massive amount of SC2 players take offense and attack the guy. I mean, you can dislike his casting but outright attacking and insulting the guy (and using LoL as an excuse) isn't putting a good image of SC2 fans. I know that's off topic, but Youtube comments doesn't represent the whole sc2 community lol. It's the same level as the twitch.tv chat rooms, full of bullshit. | ||

First of all KeSPA started that retarded shit in the first place, it is a natural decision to have a way to respond. I REALLY hope Blizzard comes down and slaps both partys just so long that they are nice to each other again -_- | ||

Kespa is fucking with MLG after they did everything they could to hype the players at that last MLG. They did so much for them to popularize their players to the sc2 audience and now Kespa fucked them over with not sending the players to MLG, which is big if you consider the reactions in the threads about MLG. | ||

Like mvp said it took him 2 months to transition to sc2 and 3 months to win a championship, thus denying this whole were not ready yet pretty sure players like roro and rain could easily get top 8/16. You need to relearn math. " 2 months to transition to sc2 and 3 months to win a championship" when? 2010 and Jan 2011, 6 months or less after sc2 is released. Now it's Aug 2012, GSL players have practiced for TWO years straight. Now you say " 2 months of practice is enough for you to catch up with those GSL players, beacause MVP did it (in 2010)" | ||

Would I want that to happen? No, I want to see a global scene that thrives and become the go to game for every eSport event and the only way I see that happening is by KeSPA relenting and actually cooperating with the system that has already been built up by Mr Chae, Sundance...etc. It's going to be a tense couple of weeks ahead. | ||

ESF being childish? they did it because they know kespa's decision is a sinister one, they're defending themselves because their survivability is at stake here. No, letting their players play and win Code A qualifiers is actually good for Kespa. But the BW pros are not at their full SC2 potential yet. Yes, some like Roro and herO really rock the house in WCS but that doesn't mean that all Kespa players have a good shot at reaching Code A. For me, the Kespa decision was just precautious to wait after this season of Proleague finishes and there is a time of buffer inc which every Kespa player can get accomodated to SC2. Because right now, every player that is still playing bw to play for his team, lags behind in SC2 skill. Its just that simple. | ||
