Here's what will happen for GSL Season 5: OGN Will decide to make the Season 2 OSL a KeSPA player only tournament. Then, KeSPA will proceed to drop out of GSL Season 5. Win win for them. By that time I'm pretty sure they will have the best players in SC2 since the proleague will be SC2 Only. Players will be able to fully concentrate on SC2.

We should't belive Kespa. Before GSL 5, They will say " we have to giant project!"

lol they made the decision based off of wanting OSL to run smoothly. this implies they weren't going for gsl season 5 anyway. however something might be lost in translation here.

What confuses me is Kespa basically said "We don't think we're ready to paly with you guys JUST yet", and ESF responded with "WELL WE DIDN'T WANNA PLAY WITH YOU ANYWAY".

Regardless, I'm glad this seems to be being resolved, all I wanna do is watch SC2 :3 (Also more Soulkey, he's pretty good)

No, Season 4 qualifiers are starting in a week. Season 5 qualifiers will be in October as GSL Season 5 has to start in late october/early november.

Wait... so the GSL final at IPL is season 5 final? Oh well

the better response from them would be to let the players decide which leagues they want to participate in

Not quite but almost. Both can´t survive without the other one.

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.

More like KeSPA needs to destroy blizzard. They killed BW and made a shitty job designing a supposed successor...

That's not what happened at all.

Kespa said their players didn't have enough time/didn't want to play in the GSL yet they've been saying they want to.

I too, just want to watch quality starcraft <3

I see no reason eSF allowing their players to participate in upcoming OSL, they should also say, ok then we are participating in next OSL, kespa is so shitty -,.-

GUYS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DOES NOT CHANGE A THING!! Their statement was They will join season 5. Not they will join future seasons. The schedule problem is bull. GSL is known to make schedule accommodations for their players. Also there are players in Kespa that have not qualified for OSL, GSL, WCG, etc... Why stop them from joining GSL huh?

GSL players have far more difficult schedules due to foreign tournaments. It is all play on words. Nothing is changed until kespa signs a contract that allow their players to join tournaments freely. Don't think it is over people!!!

If ESF don't still pull their players from the current OSL, they've been basically fooled. Don't get yourself fooled, Nestea!
Kespa skips a season - ESF should skip a season.
