I mean, is it not possible for them to generally dislike KeSPA's actions, or do all Koreans simply love KeSPA's draconian approach to e-sports? | ||

But they believe their players should have their own choices on which tournaments to enter. Some players stretch themselves too thin, (huk, past-mc, past-drg) but at least that is their choice. I would personally argue that it benefits even some sponsors. They have the freedom to send players to tournaments without having to deal with rest of KeSPA. Just suppose if LG-IM was in KeSPA, can they send MvP+Nestea to IEM with the expense of WCS? Probably not. | ||

That is not in any way what he said, he pointed that this supposed "players union" is not helping their players they are just fucking with KeSPA. Take that Godwin's Law bullshit out of teamliquid. | ||

And they're trying to prevent KeSPA from taking over the Korean Starcraft scene again. Is it too much to ask that Korea isn't monopolized and completely isolated from the world? | ||

Instead, they are just trying to help GOM, a profit seeking company. Many of their members became stars through GOM, and if GOM falls they might have to join KeSPA in order to continue playing in korea. MC has won over 300'000 dollars price money mostly from the GSL. The GSL has made schedules that allows their players to attend foreign tournaments. They do not want OSL to fail, they just want both leagues relevant. | ||

Would you honestly want to pay to send your players in a tournament in a different country.. with no benefits..? eSF teams have international sponsors.. whichis why they there's actually benefits in them attending foreign tournaments. More exposure for their sponsors. Exactly, which begs the question. Why is Samsung still in KeSPA. (Who knows, maybe they are already looking at an exit strategy while we are speaking) | ||

Otherwise he wouldn't release such a statement - There is NO connection between the ESL and Oz/MC. They might have asked them to support this step, but they certainly could have decided against it. For the other 5 guys, one coule argue that they kinda HAD to agree due to the pressure ("Oh... Everyone agrees, it's probably a good thing"). But they definitely weren't forced to agree ;-) And... The main problem probably was that the KESPA already found some kind of excuse right before the GSL Season 3 started... Who should trust them to not do the same once the OSL is over? | ||

And if you want to say otherwise, take this weekend MLG-kespa as an example. Again you're wrong. Stop posting random bullshit. There was no KeSPA players at MLG for valid reasons. Look it up. As for KeSPA teams not attending other foreign tournaments asides from MLG, it's simply because it's an expense without benefits. | ||
