					No but seriously, GSL 5 is after the OSL. They will get the GSL players to participate in OSL, then just go back on their word again and not bother with GSL 5 after all. Unless they agree to play in the upcoming GSL then the boycott should continue. They aren't trustworthy.  | ||

Honestly I think Blizzard needs to destroy KeSPA (As long as KeSPA is not making money with LoL this is possible) and then really act like the big boss in in the business.  | ||

Kespa just bent over and took it hard from Mr. Chae.  | ||

					I'm suddenly really not looking forward to the OSL and GSL this season any more =( That's what this drama has done to me as a spectator. I don't like confrontations.  | ||

If players think PL + OSL + WCS + more is already too much and dont want to try GSL on top of that, then, you know, they just have to not show up at Code A qualifiers. If others (and this is likely different from player to player) consider themselves to have enough time, or maybe just wanna go to the qualifiers to gain experience, why stop them?  | ||

GSL Season 5 Qualifiers will have to be before that because their finals are at IPL in late November.  | ||

That would look SO bad I doubt any of their sponsor would want that headache. They obviously support KeSPA teams wanting good publicity, and going against a clearly defined statement that can be verified ("We will participate in season 5") is going to be a much bigger issue than going against some "vision" ("We promise to play nice").  | ||

					Still wary of their bullshit, and I would be support of ESF not playing in OSL until Kespa is in GOM, but this is better than nothing. :D  | ||

That's what I also thought Kespa would do at first but then I thought... they couldn't possibly be THIS stupid. If they pull something like that, I think Blizzard will have a word with them. And there will be huge boycotts.  | ||

					Yeah so they made an announcement that change nothing. But as long as it makes thread titles like this, it'll work on the masses ><  | ||
