For the first time ever, both BW and SC2 community have united to shit on Kespa. Congratulation?

Was that their masterplan? They saw in the future that the BW and SC2 community would be divided so they started to act like idiots so both sides would join up against a common enemy and that way unite as one?

to be fucking honest, i see this being bad as of for now, but in the long run i think if this havent happened, kespa will just go back to kill the potential sc2 has....

hopefully the cooler heads on both sides, or maybe even a third party like Blizzard or a figurehead like BoxeR can negotiate.

the only solution for both sides is just let the players play. otherwise SC2 is just fucked in Korea.

i don't understand why people are bitching and the fact it's going to hurt "sc2"
this move should have been done LONG AGO if anything. kespa are the douches if you guys don't see that. what they're essentially trying to do with not merging with non kespa players is have their players catch up and keep the reign that they had in bw without showing that their players are weaker than GSL players in sc2. THAT HURTS EVERYONE. why? because kespa players can't catch up quicker. the more they play against people currently better than they are, the quicker they catch up.
along with the fact GSL players don't see another side of a pure style of game that they lack.
not to mention EVERYONE wants to see the kespa best vs the sc2 best, and it would completely bring unity to the sc community but they don't' want that happening cause they're to prideful.


Actually, I doubt it's caused by the "let our players catch up" reason. I mean, we've all seen WCS Korea, and there are strong signs that they are already at a great level. Though GSL and "1-week-preparation" tournaments are different, I think if the KeSPA players can compete in terms of skill in these kind of matches (WCS) they'll do well in GSL (at least qualifiers and Code A) because they already have the work ethic and organization of these kind of tournaments.

I believe the reason is way more based on money. "Hey, let's have alone all the benefits from the Kespa vs ESF storyline".

Great move, ESF did what had to be done. They hit them when it counts, if they waited to long the GSL players wont have the same status as they do now and can easily be ignored.

Pull their players from the OSL in an act of defiance? LoL.

Actually, I was hoping for some of the more international companies of KeSPA to defect.

WoW, I'm happy that I'm not in GomTV or Ongamenets shoes right now. The 2 of them seems to get well along(if you didn't know, GomTV sponsored the last OSL BW tournament, Tving is part og GomTV).
This is all meant to combat kespa, but it's not they who are hurt the most
Hell, it's about time

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?


What are they risking though? Kespa fucked GOM, so ESF fucked Kespa. Considering ESF has been basically supported by the regular paycheck of GSL, the move makes sense. Mr. Chae (and Artosis on a few SOTGs) has gone on record multiple times saying GSL was basically there to fund teams until they could get real sponsors with Code A and Code S paychecks.

What happened was Kespa threw a jab at GOM, and ESF stepped in to tackle them to the ground. Now Kespa has figure out how they're going to get standing again.

Can you tell me what they're risking? Especially when Korean fans are uniformly with the ESF decision?

They are risking running a league that will be on a constant foreign life support. And foreign esports were never stable resource not as much as Korean one up till some time (Match fixing scandal)

There is possibility Korea will back them up but nothing is certain, risk is involved.

Don't underestimate kespa. If it can be dirtier, they will make it dirtier. But thumbs up to ESF, show kespa they can't fuck GOM over just like that who actually made the effort to promote sc2.

Needs more giant squid.

Also, for reference, to help avoid confusing the parties involved: GOM is to to eSF what OGN is to Kespa.
