Victory for SC2 as a whole! Hope these guys can patch things up and work together. OGN/Kespa need to realize the money they could steal from us instead of eachother

Finally, we can watch OSL.

But still feels that another fight will come not long after this. KeSPA has better organization, ESF has better freedom. Maybe ESF will be a players union against owners, KeSPA. They will fight every year, that will be pretty good though, just like every other professional sports league.

Including B-teamers, double that, maybe.

And I guess there are also players who no longer belong to a proleague team, but still have progamer license. They should be counted as KeSPA players too.

If GOM pulls GSL players out of the OSL Ro16, I will not buy a ticket until Kespa players are in the GSL.
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.


So ESF, not GOM which you are blaming, is not allowed to have their players not compete in OSL but KESPA can have their players not compete in GSL, how is that not the definition of hypocritical?

I just wrote that you cannot take out players from a competition they don't take part in the first place.

Also i cannot blame anyone since both sides eSF(acting as GOM proxy) and Kespa are fighting for their own economic interests.

Btw. This whole situation shows us that right now Blizzard is on top of KR Starcraft. Which could be both good or bad (imagine if WC4 would come out Blizzard "soon")


I did not say they took their players out, I said they refused to let their players compete which is exactly what they did.

Now if Kespa doesn't get 21 players into the Code A through the qualifiers it would be a upset for them....

Read again what you wrote.... Took out means that they were already in it in the first place.

Made my day.

Thank you ESF for putting your foot down.
Thank you GOM for keeping a cool head.
Thank you Blizzard for the arbitration.
Thank you KeSPA for not blowing up the scene over some BS.

90 Players ... Thats a lot. How many players do the gsl teams have combined? 100? That would almost double the playing field?

yeah...thats what i'm scared of XD i hope teams only put out players that thinks its ready or those who wants to try and not force everyone to try even if they're not ready.

...then again there will be people trying to bring out drama out of that too "ohh kespa is limiting its players trying to make gom look bad!!" -,.-

Nah. The worst is yet to come. The KeSPA players will push the eSF players to train even harder.

So now the question is what dose "joins GSL" means?
Seeds into A/S or few B-teamers in qualifiers?

Based on LP. There are 21 spots for grabs in the GSL season 4 code A qualifiers.
