It would have been still fine! Even though, technically, that shows disrespect to the GSL, it would not have caused all this trouble. We would have gotten a few elephant matches to discuss, Kespa teams would've managed with PL fine etc. Why did they have to create such a major statement and totalitarian position of it. Honestly, KeSPA's logic is all around stupid. "we have three players in WCS, four teams in PL and 8 players in OSL, so we decided to forbid every player participation in GSL" | ||

It's a victory for the esf. They should take it and return to the OSL. For the fans. If you knew anything about Kespa and its history, you would not be saying that... Kespa annoucing that it will participate in the GSL season 5 does not mean it has to. Kespa can and will break its "promise" to see GSL flop. It's not a victory for the esf. until Kespa participates in the current GSL season 4. | ||

Why, just why?? T_T I quote one of the greatest comedies made, and you bring up this show for 10 year-old girls. Why, I implore?  | ||

So I'm perfectly fine with giveing Kespa the benefit of the doubt on this one while keeping my trident close at hand. | ||

Whether or not this is true or not, though, is a different issue altogether. | ||

Yeah I think this resolves the issue for now and allows for everyone to participate in OSL. They can boycott the next OSL if KeSPA indeed doesn't participate in GSL 5, but for now I think it would be very detrimental to the scene if they wouldn't play in the first SC2 OSL. They got a concrete date, I think that's all that's needed for now. | ||

KeSPA could just always exert heavy pressure on individual teams or players to defer participation--make sure only unpopular players participate, while reserving Flash/JD/Bisu to participate in their own OSL and Proleague. Such pressure would be invisible, and be something the fans themselves could not really change. After all, money talks, and right now the best KeSPA players still earn much more than their GOM counterparts. What's more, KeSPA is essentially composed of many large Korean companies (Samsung and SK Telecom foremost among them), so it's not like the Korean government will be sympathetic to GOM. | ||
