By announcing their decision, even if it was a big jerk and douchebag move, Kespa didn't damage the GSL at all, except for maybe pulling away a couple of Jaedong/Flash/Bisu fangirls and some viewers. But at least they told them in time and, anyways, GSL has more than enough players to fill all the spots (since there is an open qualification process). I still think that this "war" is gonna be more harmful to the ESF players than to the Kespa ones since the former (at least the top players like MC, MVP, MKP) have a lot more chances to win when the leagues are mixed up, while the chances of a Kespa player winning or advancing in the GSL are rather small. Anyways, I hope that all of this is going to settle up, even if Blizzard needs to intervene. This is so retarded that everyone gets penalized in the end because one organisation wants total control over their players who are able to take care of themselves anyways. EDIT: Someone should update the OP to let everyone know about the recent turn of events. Anyways, even if it's settled for now, this is just a pushing the confrontation back and I think it's gonna come back every time there is a major event and Kespa feels that their control is slipping away. | ||

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. I'm sure you're 100% correct and Kespas just saving face and not trying to monopolize sc2 like they did bw. Because that wouldn't make sense, Kespa's not like that at all. | ||

You guys understand that this isn't Brood War and blizzard has every organization and tournament that wants to run sc2 practically by the balls. Blizzard can strong arm anyone into anything if they want to run with their product.If not,lights out. | ||

Why would they care if GSL died? If they got picked up by kespa teams they would make more money and play on tv. I can't believe the little guy complex you people all have. It's honestly making me uncomfortable to even post here. | ||
