They have decided this is more important than OSL prize money, I suppose.

:D. Well now what will kespa do? Allow their players to play or allow OSL to be fucked?

seems like a pretty simple choice to me!

OSL is about the prestige, the players from Kespa will most likely have good salaries, so the winnings aren't as big as a deal for them, as it is to SC2 players

Kespa players have like a 60% win ratio vs ESF players, including vs the very top. There is no gap

You know there is a 3rd reason beyond the two more likely ones as to why KESPA pulled out of GSL4. They might be doing it to screw with GOM or they might be doing it because they dont think they can win and they dont want there players destroyed or they could be doing it to use the only advantage they have in the OSL.

Right now GSL players are flying all over the world competing in different tournaments that use different maps and against different players while the KESPA players are preparing for the OSL. They might be thinking that if they have there players solely focused on beating there opponent than maybe can pull a few upsets and look good in this OSL as opposed to only getting 1 or 2 players thru.


That makes no sense.

There's 8 kespa players in the OSL. There's plenty not who want to go play in the GSL.

Dunno, but I think they all agree that they cant have kespa have the kind of control that they did in BW, or it would ruin korean sc2. Segregated competition sucks, and winning an OSL isn't worth it in this situation.


I seirously dont understand kespa. What's the big deal if b teamers play in the gsl qualifiers? What's the big deal if even flash/jaedong/bisu/stork etc play in the qualifiers? It's their choice. They don't HAVE to play in the qualifiers, but barring them from even trying is such a stupid move.

Not only that, but they're also asking that Kespa players be given the chance to take the GSL prize money. Clearly, for the Federation, it's about what's best for everyone and you have to respect that. Kespa, on the other hand, puts power plays and greed above even their very own players.

OSL prize money is like 40k, a dead GSL is much more than that haha

I'm so happy ESF are still pushing this. I really hope it's fixed by OSL time though. I don't want to be denied Flash vs MVP T_T

also you guys have to understand kespa is a bad guy who forces the players what to do, the ESF are the players of the gom teams itself, they had another organisation mroe powerfull before but clsoed it.
when ESF says something its really the oppinion of the most gom players

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
Seriously look at the qualifiers... yesterday I looked through the first day's results. The only kespa player to win a game against a code B gsl player was Flash over Brown, and then he proceeded to lose to another code B player in Sniper.
Here's the whole day 1 results where I noticed a Kespa player facing a GSL player:
Hoejja 1-2 Harrier
Flying 0-2 Brown
Flash 2-0 Brown, Flash 1-2 Sniper
Crazy-hydra 1-2 inori
Bisu 0-2 Moon
Fantasy 0-2 Pet

Boxed out by their own doing. KESPA was approached first, not GOM.

to be honest that was a couple months ago. They have all improved a lot and jaedong/roro have beaten code S players and some other kespa players have. The gap is significantly smaller then it was just a couple months ago.
When I think of something else, something will go here
