Seems like a nice initiative, good things can probably come out of it.

Curious if there will be any broadcasted discussions or whatever. Surprised that so many "important" figures are participating, wonder if Gabe Newell was busy.

Well for all we know they might have invited people from Gom, Kespa, Chinese organisations etc. The parties of the Korean esportscene are quite possibly mostly concerned about the Korean market and not whatever this congress is supposed to be about.

This congress thing is actually really interesting. I would imagine it is something that many of the people in charge really look forward to. If only Nazgul and djWHEAT were there then it would have all relevant people imo (assuming that Koreans were not interested).

I imagine the Koreans got extended an offer but declined. I guess they're fairly pre occupied with internal issues of the transition to attend this.

I don't think anything significant will be accomplished by the discussions. I think more could be accomplished by having private discussions, which I assume these folks already have when necessary.

edit: This is my polite way of saying that this event is a big "hey look at us"
