I think the name MLG vs KESPA is pretty funny in the first place as mlg has no players of their own. Well, GOM doesn't technically have players of its own. GOM does have a player of its own though! + Show Spoiler +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOM_Player
I think we have a thread winner here.

Regardless, players are allowed to decline a tournament whenever they want. It is not up to anyone else other than players if they accept or not.
Players decline the FXO invitational all the time, their reasons are none of anybodies business but their own.
FXO declined an invite into the EGMC. Does this mean we hate eg and want their event to fail? No it doesn't, it means we are in GSTL and IPTL already and don't have time in our schedule for anything else.The players that would have been invited to the MvP league would already be extremely busy with GSL/GSTL/IPL etc so they have barely any time as it is.
Just quoting this again. The OP looked sketchy as hell, then I saw it was posted by Slasher ... Not surprised to discover that this is a lot less drama than OP made it out to be.

Basically Unstable's post is enough reason to close the thread.

Plus the declines probably happened a while ago and eSF players were happily playing in the MLG Fall qualifiers a few days ago. If there was any issues with MLG and eSF, don't think that would have happened.
If you look at the schedule for this, it actually goes on for quite a few weeks with many matches which are cross server and probably not at the best times (since you have KR vs EU vs NA). So it doesn't surprise me that players might turn this down.

People please read this!!! No need for any ESF/Kespa drama -.-.. well yet anyway.... Only two players declined MKP and Losira MKP said in his interview he wanted to focus only on GSL for this season which easily explains why he pulled out As for Losira it could be any kind of reasons.... the main point is this isn't ESF playersgetting together and deciding to stick it to MLG or Kespa.... it's two players declining an invite for personal reasons.... So basically, fuck Slasher. This thread should probably be closed or the OP heavily edited.
yes, fuck slasher.

Well we probably hear whats this all about on LO3 tonight.

Just invite more Euro Players, there is a lot of talent over there.

I interpreted that comment as referring to the statement(s) stating the reasons for ESF declining the invites.

Meh, a lot of people already questioned the validity of the article even before the post by FXOUnstable, as well as stating that declining an invite to this is not really anything "out of the ordinary", people decline invitations all the time. I'd give people more credit, and give Slasher less, to be honest. Only a few posters here were taking things too far, a lot of this thread is people discussing the tournament format itself, I wouldn't say that the majority of the posts in here deserve being decribed negatively as this is a completely normal forum discussion.
Anyway, Fuck Slasher.

Isn't this article more about Slasher still having a beef with MLG for sacking him?

Slashers journalism is reminding me more and more of fox news journalism every time he writes or says anything.

The more shit he posts, the less credibility will he get. Until no one, save for the drama mongers, will believe in anything he has to write or say.

If true, ESF is being ridiculous with this one. The whole point of the tournament is to put MLG players vs Proleague players. This is a tournament hosted and funded by MLG + their sponsors, therefore they should be able to do what they want with it. And what they want to do is literally put MLG (and force the international aspect of it) vs Proleague. Don't protest against a major tournament provider for dedicating a single event to this kind of "X vs X" idea (which can only work, by the way, if proleague players make up half the battle). Especially, if they are funding it. Seriously, you cant expect MLG to transform the theme behind their tournament just because you want in. I find it selfish and, if they didn't misunderstand the idea behind the tournament, disgusting.

It's not true... Slasher just being slasher -.-
Only two players actually declined MKP who wants to focus on GSL and Losira for an unknown reason.... Again this is NOT ESF pulling it's players out... This is Slasher taking an off the record thought from FXOBoss sensationalising the shit out of it and posting it as fact -.-

Thanks for that, I didn't read past page 2. So It's officially confirmed to be false?

I am waiting for boss to wake up to confirm if he did infact go on the record. But I highly doubt he did, and if he actually did he will get an earful from me about it

Officialy not, as Unstable was not able to get a response from Boss about what he said in the interview. Basically yes, as MKP said he is focusing on GSL and thats why he is declining everything else, Scarlett said she cant play cross server with her laggy connection and only Losira declined for the reasons unknown.

And, once again, Slasher does something else to support the reason why I mute Live on Three every time he starts one of his "Listen to me, please, I know what's going on this time" segments. Taking a statement as on the record when Boss repeatedly said he wouldn't because he didn't know the whole story? That's hack journalism, and an excellent way to get you ostracized from your sources.
