If they re-commit to the OSL without getting participation in GSL Season 4 as a return, there's a huge problem here. Agreed. Hopefully ESF will follow. They won't. ESF is a lot less unified than KeSPA is, and I think this move from KeSPA throws just enough doubt into the minds of the player collective that it will keep them from a firm decision like that. KeSPA isn't unified, they just rule with an iron fist. Plenty of players are discontent with this decision, they just can't disobey or they will get the smack down laid upon them. ESF is doing this of their own free will and for self preservation. They likely will not cave.
Really? How do you know that?

I don´t believe them at all. I wouldn´t be suprised at all if the Kespa players will miss the Code A season 5 qualifiers because they had a planned field trip on that day or something.

Because ESF doesn't have control over their players the same way Kespa does. It would be a lot easier for the pfederation players to ignore ESF and play in OSL, than it would be for Kespa players to ignore Kespa and play in GSL. The ESF also must understand the idea of self-preservation, which is why they requested this decision.

Or maybe they just all lose and crash out of the league? Could be very possible.

Man they made that statement pretty fucking quick, i guess losing half their OSL players is enough of a shock
|

seems like a ploy to get ESF players to join OSL now, so they get those players to join and then come up with some excuse to not goto future GSLs.
|
That's cool, but a bit delayed. So, GSL back in the OSL?

Great, and before Season 5 they'll say: No, we have that giant Kespa project and have no time for Season 5.
This.
Nothing got solved, they got a free passup on GSL4 Kespa wins.
You can only play fire with fire, tell OSL you will be there next season.

unfortunately i don't see this being the response.

that's exactly how the ESF should respond actually.
"well attend gsl5"
"okay, we'll attend osl next season too. thanks, sorry but our schedule is ...very tight, we have foreign tournaments where... you know... we actually have to fly for 10+ hours but we make due, i'm sure you'll find a way to drive 1 hour to the gom qualifiers in your busy schedules"

they will screw GSL over next season, it's almost obvious. you don't deal with sharks like they're your friends.

one of the first times in korea where the sc2 fanboys unite with bw fanboys to talk shit about kespa
|
Sorry to say all that korean drama stuff reminded me of a good old #WWE storyline.
All we need is Sundance coming out today.. revealing he is Vince McMahons lost son and OSL and GSL would be 2 different brands of MLG now.

You obviously haven't peeked at the other thread with tons of KeSPA fanboys bashing GOM and Blizzard.
Ah nvm, you said "in Korea"

This is hilarious. Sad at the same time that any of this nonsense was necessary in the first place.

"Season 3 fuck off, maybe season 4.." *later* "Season 4 fuck off, but season 5, I promise.."
