What is so absurd about giving no name Kespa players chance at another tournament qualification? It's absurd because sponsors wanna see a controlled environment. Freedom of movement is what the ESF players/teams have and look at the shit sponsors most of them have? Remember Zenex coach posting on TL saying his team was "open to sponsorship?" We we need is a middle ground so sponsors can feel confident where they put their money and players don't work in a gulag. | ||

The original grievance of ESF isn't satisfied, but I'm sure KESPA actually think it is. I'm going to go beat my head against my desk. Maybe that'll help me understand. if esf participates in osl i would be doing the same | ||

 . One can be surprised, how e-sports relates to politics with its drama, background motives and great load of cash. | ||

oGs only had a local food store to support them. ZeNEX had none. NSHoseo seems to be in trouble too. TSL has minor company sponsors, as well as SlayerS and MVP. IM has LG AND Coca Cola supporting them, while Startale has Redbull. Fnatic, Complexity, EG and FXO have foreigner money, so they're in no trouble. If you take the fact that sponsors seem to flutter to teams with more star players like they should, then the amount of sponsors showing up to each individual team makes sense. For eSF teams, the onus is on the players themselves to make sure that their teams obtain better sponsorship deals. They need to promote their teams more and show better results, like IM and Startale are doing. | ||

Please eSports Federation, make them play in Season 4. The preliminaries take up 3 days at the most. | ||
