for now...

I am sure Blizz applied some pressure here. Otherwise Blizz would not have stuff on their website so quickly.

Well if they do it for foreigners I don't see why not for KESPA pros

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?

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

im pretty sure San isnt in gsl right now and he was boycotting

Thank god...

It's best for everyone that this bullcrap gets resolved. Sacrificing the OSL for the sake of continuing to play chicken with each other would've been a horrible move.

I just can't wait for OSL now!

Code S seeds will either go to By.Sun/Roro, or they will go to two players on non playoffs teams. Which would probably be Flash/Soulkey.

I don't think so. If it is a written document and KeSPA backs out, they are going to look really, really bad, and Blizz will probably shut OSL down.

well, i don't think it's going to be a bad player list. many kespa players said they want to play. now if kespa doesn't let them play it's time for them to step up. but i don't think kespa will stop players to play which really want to play.

TIG article translation: (http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=1275322&category=13438)

kespa has decided to participate in GSL season 4 qualifiers.

Blizzard announced on the 27th at 4:30PM (KST) through the battle.net announcement that kespa players will be participating in the upcoming GSL. According to the announcement, it outlines that the kespa players will be undergoing fierce competition. GomTV has also delayed the GSL qualifiers to september 12th to accommodate for the late-joining kespa players.

TIG has comfirmed with GomTV that the aforementioned facts are true. GomTV has received a list of kespa players who will be participating in the qualifers from ESF and will be making an official announcement shortly.

Following this, 90 kespa players from 7 teams (KAF excluded due to disbanding) will be participating in the qualifiers.

It is also known that Auction All-kill OSL will also resume as normal since kespa decided to participate in GSL season 4.

I think he means the list of players could be all B-teamers or non-stars.

I expect KT, Stars, and STX to have all their players.

I wonder if they'll add a KeSPA player or two to the Up/Down matches this week. I could see them leaving off players from the four playoff teams. At least T8/SKT who play this week.

Can we please NOT put on tin foil hats and baselessly assume that someone's lying because we think they're eeeeeeeeevil, regardless of how it would destroy their image and rob them of credibility?

Edit: Okay, if it's the way Fionn interpreted it, my apologies.

September 12th? So the Ro32 of Code S will be done before the Code A qualifiers even happen? Meh.

Guessing no Code S seeds if they need time to prep.

Except of course LG-IM, MVP, and ST already have LoL teams. Not only that, they have been playing on OGN already. ie. Tomorrow is not the first day where ESF players plays on OGN.
