Who are the members of ESF? aAnd which players will be pulled?
Is this some sort of comeback to Kespa for pulling out of GSL?


All the GSL teams except Slayers. Every GSL player in the OSL is pulled except for Oz, which is only because 1) Fnatic is a foreign team and not part of ESF, so he isn't automatically removed, and 2) he's away at MLG and unable to communicate back home. It's likely he will drop out as well.

I kinda like this move, at least right now. Really cool. But we'll see how this whole thing pans out. I really want both sides to just play

Can someone translate Korean community comments on this article? I really want to know they stance about all this.


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?

What if kespa have been heroes all along, they grow tired of the constant fights between starcraft fans and cause so much controversy to unite everyone. The heroes we truly needed.

Hey, I thought ESF players had the freedom and independence to play in any tournament they like!

Guess not.

Seriously, GOM & co are such drama queens.

hopefully kespa gives in and allows their players to participate in gsl, and then the esf players don't pull out from osl and we can all be happy.

The korean blizz rep said that they would be making a statement tomorrow(which is today) so probably later on today they will have a statement.

ESF players CHOSE not to play in OSL. Kespa team's didn't have a choice. ESF players are boycotting out of loyalty.

Don't know much about kespa's history but I suppose this is a good move and hopefully we get all players in both leagues?

I agree that it sucks for them, but it is not a move to mess with OGN, it is just because of the sanctioned KeSPa event...but yeah, sucks for them. Hopefully they will put some pressure back on KeSPa as well.

Just an FYI this is the players decisions. Nothing to do with GOM the players want to react themselves. Isn't that funny now you can't blame GOM as they don't have ANY control over the players in what they play or not.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I wonder what Boxer thinks about this now that he is on the Kespa side, since he was on the ESF side till last week. Maybe the emperor will save korean sc2 .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Their players agreed to this, as it threatens their survival. The statement was given by Nestea.

Fairly sure kespa's next move will be even uglier


I'm not sure what they could do to be "uglier". Their players aren't playing in gsl what more can they do?

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.

Now Kespa can risk and put everything on 1 card, they say "fine" play kespa vs kespa OSL, train their players, players somehow gets better than GOM ones and by market rules people will want to watch Kespa players, and Kespa will smile and say, welcome to our land.

Unlike KeSPA, who forces decisions onto their players, GOM had nothing to do with this.

i will support gom all the way and everyone should know ESF is different to GOM! So ESF are just basically thanking GOM because they are awesome.

At least they talked to their players to see if they agreed or not, which they did, unlike Kespa who just says "Fuck no your not playing in that tourney, tough shit"
