I'm just curious on how next Proleague will be. It's Proleague that really matters for the KeSPA teams anyway. OSL second, GSL third (if this deal holds) and then foreign events. GSTL is non-existent for them.

The last team of PL would be a reigning champion of GSTL?

GOM would never let it happen...

Predictions on who is seeded into code S?

Are they going to seed 2 Kespa players there?

Edit: Oh yes, two to Code S and four to Code A. Neat.

horrible news, I don't like the seeding one bit, as this takes spots away from players who will be playing in upcoming Code A qualifers, so players who are part of ESF teams get less chances this season to particpate.

Great to see this being resolved. But I have the feeling KeSPA isn't done for now.

I believe that'd be 90 Kespaians participating in those, from all the teams except for Airforce ACE.

Edit: Exact list of players haven't been revealed yet though.

Awesome. It's be an interesting drama roller coaster this past week, but I'm glad that it was all worked out. Now I can watch Parting tomorrow carry the Startale Banner in the OSL.

Amazing news! I wonder if Blizzard told them they were going to pull their broadcasting rights to get them in line or the ESF players pulling out of OSL was enough.

Great news!

Good to know that the two sides came to an agreement that really puts us (the fans) first.

Shows you that you should never allow bullies to run you over, stand up and confront them.

Kespa tried to pull one of everyone, and it backfired. This isent Brood War anymore, they do not possess the same amount of control as previously

I especially like that Blizzard Korea got involved, but haven't really said a word. They let ESF/Kespa/GOM make all the press releases, and they kept themselves where they should have been. In the back scenes, forcing people to the negotiation table, and (just maybe) nudging people to do what was right. Could Blizzard have actually gotten through ESPORTS drama without being shit on by the forums?! Well, not now, because I jinxed it. But still.

KESPA finally realizing that no, seriously, ESF was going to fuck OSL if KESPA fucked GSL 4 has made my day. The best thing to come out of it is that ESF has established themselves as a legit force, a legitimate player's union kinda thing, and they've shown that they're exactly the Batman that GOM needed all those years ago when their BW tournament got shit on by KESPA.

On this day, every ESF member proved a true hero of ESPORTS. We should hand out medals. With little blue horse heads on them and everything.

They almost always seed 2 players. Before it was foreigners. Was that bad news too?
