 Grrrr... being the only foreigner to win the BW OSL, and it's the first OSL to say the least, this is pretty much the opportunity to continue some legacy behind OSL, albeit some controversy.Of course I hope they can resolve whatever conflicts they are having ASAP. I'm very sure future sponsors will take this turn of event very seriously and it will not only affect OSL but GSL as well. | ||

Anyways, if this carries on without KeSPA relenting and allowing participation for season 4, a storm is coming. eSF cannot and must not back down because KeSPA promised not to slap the GSL in the face again after punching them in the stomach. | ||

Kespa does not have a good track record. Its not on ESF to hold to their word. Kespa broke the agreement that they would play. They have done this in the past, they have a bad track record of doing so. ESF should continue to boycott untill Kespa plays. Otherwise, Kespa will do this same exact shit in 3 months, dont you see that? 2. GOM can survive in KR just fine i think. The majority of their money is foreigner money, they might not grow exponentially, but they wont shut down. 3. Kespa needs to be pushed around, when they aren't pushed around they do a bunch of shit, a'la the bw scene. We dont want sc2 to become the next bw scene. Get it? | ||

Why don't the Kespa players not simply all move to Gom after their current contracts end? There's nothing Kespa can do about that. | ||

dude let me be clear OGN is not KeSPA, in fact at the eve of SC2's release OGN wanted to start an OSL for SC2(side by side with BW one at that time), you might recall the news the big Korean Air plane with the huge SC2 logo and that interview Artosis did with a guy from OGN | ||

I'm very sure future sponsors will take this turn of event very seriously and it will not only affect OSL but GSL as well. I think they already said that they would allow foreigners to participate in the OSL provided if they have a progamer license from KeSPA. If that happens, won't they also be restricted to the tournaments that they can participate (ie. KeSPA-sanctioned tournaments/KeSPA's partner's tournaments)? It's going to do nothing but segregate the competition in SC. | ||

The foreign viewers would be a nice added bonus. (proberly not a must, depending on how populair Sc2 is in Korea) You answered it for me, we are most likely just a bonus to them. They might want both, but they don't need both. And I haven't read about the deals with MLG and GOM so I don't know anything about that  | ||

Because GOM-affiliated teams cannot pay the same salary that KeSPA can. It's like asking Wayne Rooney to go play division 2 football because 'the game is purer there'. | ||
