Well the ppl in that thread didn't seem to realise before Kespa had not guaranteed the onwards part previously.

Sweet, nice to have someone be able to tell KeSPA that they're stupid. Looking forward to this!

Sure they want to maintain the upper hand, but you can't just ruin an OSL because of it. They're protecting their interests first, and the fans' interest last. Say what you will about Kespa, but without top Kespa players and top sponsors like adidas and samsung, I'm not watching SC2 anymore unless it suddenly becomes a much better game.


So ESF, not GOM which you are blaming, cannot take players out of the OSL but KESPA can take their players out of the GSL, how is that not the definition of hypocritical?

seems like the TIG link is confirmed. GOM says they'll be making an announcement shortly... but the gist is that kespa has handed them a list of players who will be participating in GSL season 4 qualifiers and OSL is expected to resume as normal.

You cannot take out players without them being in GSL in the first place... Flawed logic.

Wolf just retweeted Starcraft Korea's tweet:


Here's a translation of the Korean Battle.net blog post: http://kr.battle.net/sc2/ko/blog/2188781

(after some copy and pasting into Google Translate, here's the most significant paragraph)

Pleasant news is that this is not the only! KeSPA players of the upcoming GSL season 4 qualifying are scheduled to participate. KeSPA players more than 100, and in the fierce competition to get into the Pro League schedule, players can participate in the tournament smoothly ongoing bear TV GSL Qualifiers for September 12 has been adjusted. GSL Season 4 news and updates'll notify you continue.


The grammar's a little messed up from Google Translate, but I assume it's meant to say that KeSPA players are free to compete in the GSL 4 qualifiers. :D (Please pardon my Neil Armstrong reference, but his famous quote popped into my head right away) One small step for this season of GSL 4, one giant leap for Korean eSports.
