YES

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES

this is absolutely the right move by ESF. KeSPA can't be trusted here. they
will fight tooth and nail to do what they did in BW. they have to be forced into agreement here.

So proud of ESF for standing up for the KeSPA players and not caving in to KeSPA's compromises.

It's a pretty savvy move by the ESF in my opinion. They know that, as of right now, they hold a stronger hand in this situation and so they've decided not to settle for a halfway compromise or one that looks like it could be dodged or interpreted in bad faith. It also seems like they realize that if they just take the easy way out now, they might end up in another dispute 6 months later but without anything like the leverage they have this time.

Good for them for recognizing the strength of their position.

Quite depressing that ESF have to fight for the KeSPA players rights instead of them fighting for themselves.

OSL needs to prove that hey will play nice. They are the ones that need GSL right now. Not viceversa. Why would GSL players attend and help OSL grow, the federation that will be their doom. It's not smart. You need your enemy to make the first step into diplomacy here.


It's not OSL for crying out loud, it's KeSPA. How many times does this need to be made clear before you get it.

If anything, OSL is going to put pressure on KeSPA too, as it cannot be that after the group selection that was broadcasted on television, the tournament just doesn't proceed on forward. That would be devastating in many ways.

I'm glad ESF has not surrendered their opposition after such a meager promise. I hope KeSPA comes around soon, for the good of all of us.

I love this move by ESF. They have to show KeSPA who deals the cards here.

From everything I've been told, they pretty much are, their interests are so tied together.
