If that's it, then this whole ordeal has been a colossal waste of time and seems like yet another extreme overreaction by the SC2 community. Edit: Nothing has actually changed by this announcement, and all the "Haha, KeSPA backed down" posts are hasty and uninformed. | ||

When Kespa boycotted Gretech back in broodwar days, they clearly stated that they may join future leagues. They didnt even give Gretech a wink after the boycott. Right now no one in Korea believes this statement from Kespa. Also do not believe in Fomos. It is the main media that Kespa uses to communicate with people and it always gets trashed by korean Netizens for its bias and inaccuracy. Fomos is the same organization that trashed Boxer and Nada calling them "prize money hunter" for leaving kespa for sc2. Mr. Chae tweeted 2hrs ago , "Something that happened once may not occur. But something that happened twice will most definitely occur." He is talking about Kespa. This happened before, happened again, and bound to happen more times in the future. This is quite a serious problem that relates to monoplization of esports in korea, and this will affect foreign tournaments as well if we let Kespa have it their way. Many of the enjoyment of foreign tournament comes from Foreigner vs Koreans, and if GomTV loses this fight who knows the future of the GomTV players and their sponsorship. Please do not fall for Kespa's vile words and support Gom through this unforgivable situation that happened once again. Edit: For people who say Kespa players have killer schedule, please dont fall for that... Remember before MBCGames was disbanded Kespa players had dealt with multiple leagues and had no problems. Side projects? they do that all the time. Think about it. Not all players in Kespa will qualify for WCG, WCS, MLG, GSL etc... So why take away chances of players of qualifying for certain competition when eliminated from the other. It does not make sense. | ||

It might not be over; ESF said that they would not play in OSL until KeSPA allowed their players to attend GSL. From KeSPA's statement they are still forbidding players so that would mean that ESF wont attend OSL until next season of GOM begins. | ||

KeSPA's not done yet, IMO. Here's hoping we have everyone in GSL5. | ||
