I really like that it's the teams that decided they won't take this. It has nothing to do with gom

It makes me really sad for the KeSPA players... I mean, they kill their game, and then completely fuck up the transition...

It's sad, but for the moment, only Blizzard-GOM organized tournament (WCS) has been able to show that this transition would be an amazing thing for SC2 (though that it's based on the end of BW, which is sad...).

And it was a qualifier... The logical follow-up would've been great tournaments like GSL and OSL, but NOPE, Kespa said no.

GOM hasn't done anything wrong in this case.

This may end up killing SC2 completely in Korea


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.


I dont think thats a reality, if GOM(ESF) risks that much, it means they are threatened already by Kespa players reputation in Korea. Meaning Kespa already leads in Korea, how long GOM will live by foreign votes?

Somebody can finally push Kespa into a corner and tell them something. OSL wont be happy about this but they could have seen it coming. Imho this is the right move from ESF. Should Kespa be able to build on top of what GOM have been building for so long and not even allow their players to participate. I don't think so.

Lol, Kespa and Gom are such babies. Get your shit togheter!

What did gom do wrong?...

Nothing, Gom can just be happy that the players which had a breakthrough via their league are supporting them now. This isn't even a Gom move, but a players move.

This is fucking insane, and I feel terrible that I am just wildly entertained by the thought of what is going to happen next.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Its slightly ironic that ESF is doing this. They are doing this to help their fellow players on Kespa, They know they can take OS2L and take home abig cheque, but helping the scene grow and allowing more freedom to all sc2 players is more important.

Also KeSPA has everything to lose here. Even with the BW community support, the current SC2 is heavily in favor of the ESF (if only because they play in the international scene regularly and freely), and it would only end in a loss for them if a complete split occurs. The roles are reversed since the days of GOM classic.

If I recall correctly, GomTV isnt a part of the ESF in any way, right?

That fact might be worth being added to the OP, since ESF players are often called "gom players" or "GSL players". But this decision was not done by GOM, but by the teams in the ESF. So no matter whether you like it or hate it, agree or disagree, dont blame GOM for it.

(If theres any factual error in this, please tell me and I'll remove it)

you are 100% correct. GOM is only being "used" by ESF. And I'm not saying in a negative way, Kespa, once again, uses their monopoly thinking and forbidding their players to attend GOM which pissed ESF off. and that's the only role GOM has in this conflict.

When majority of the Foreign community is against you along with your own people and maybe even Blizzard itself, you are doing something WRONG.

Can't speak for anyone else but I will not be watching it on principle. However I have nothing against the players themselves so will still be following them at MLG and WCS
