HotS is also coming "soon", so I expect their announcement next year.

What are you laughing at? This would probably be the healthiest thing that could happen to StarCraft in Korea. Fuck KeSPA and their stupid monopoly, and retarded rules.

I'm pretty sure he shares the same sentiment as the rest of us, it's just that he's laughing at the likelihood of KeSPa being banned being as likely as Blizzard releasing HotS free of charge.

KeSPA is pretty evil. They don't seem to care about the players at all.

I can vouch for him. Just make yourself an account in any of the korean community sites and ask what they think of KeSPa. They will answer you the best can with their broken english. Most will just say "fucking kespa" though.

We're pretty sure. A few people have been checking out the korean communities for their opinions. Apparently they are strongly in support of ESF and further protest. Both BW and SC2 communities.

Well, ESF will be back out in force in that case. I highly , highly doubt anyone from the GSL scene will allow KeSPA to pull the shit they pulled in BW.

Also, speaking of ESF - have they officially called off the boycott yet? and if so, where? For all we know they could be keeping it up until KeSPA caves and lets their players compete in the S4 code A quals...

There is no news suggesting they have lifted it, so it's safer to assume they are still boycotting them.

The ESF players in the OSL need to dominate this tournament. They need to have the champion and preferably do an all-ESF final 4. If they can do that, I think Kespa has no choice but to send their guys to the GSL 5 qualifiers. Otherwise, the next OSL will be without any of the previous final 4 and will completely destroy the legitimacy of it.

In all honesty, Kespa may be better off keeping the ESF out of the OSL this season. Then they can sit in their own corner and claim to have the best players. At the very least, they'll have continuity. If they get the ESF players back into the OSL this season, then they will be forced to capitulate in the future.

In a rush to grab the big Kespa vs ESF headline tournament, I think Kespa may have made a business mistake of letting the ESF players in. If I'm in the ESF, I'm telling my fellows that we need to get back in there now, before the door is shut and we lose all bargaining power.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

If ESF actually rescind their boycotting of this OSL and then KeSPa pulls the same shenanigan again, then ESF will lose all credibility and legitimacy for what it represents and becoming a laughing stock, at least among the Koreans. ESF probably knows this, so they probably won't change their stance. It's a game of chicken right now. I'm really eager to hear what Blizzard has to say about this.
